Background and Discussion: The administration office of Tri-County Health Department (TCHD) is located at 6162 S. Willow Dr., Greenwood Village. This office space has been used pursuant to a lease agreement. In preparation for the dissolution of TCHD, Arapahoe County has assessed where the newly formed Arapahoe County Public Health (ACPH) Department offices should be located. After an extended negotiation process, it was determined that ACPH should remain at the Willow location, but in a smaller office space than which TCHD occupied.
Among its powers and duties imposed by statute, a local board of health has responsibility to provide, equip, and maintain suitable offices and all necessary facilities for the proper administration and provision of core public health services. C.R.S. § 25-1-508(5)(e). Accordingly, attached is the amended lease agreement reflecting the partial assignment and assumption of the office space, which will provide ACPH with suitable offices and facilities to provide public health services to the citizens of Arapahoe County starting in 2023.
County staff request that the Board of Health approve and execute the Partial Assignment, Assumption, and Modification of Lease Agreement.
Fiscal Impact: The lease agreement provides for continued lease of the office space through August 2025. The basic rent for the premises is calculated at a certain dollar amount per square feet, which increases gradually over the term of the lease. The lease payments in the first year will be $49,131 per month.
Alternatives: The Board could choose not to approve the signature authority.
Alignment with Strategic Plan:
☒Be fiscally sustainable
☒Provide essential and mandated service
☐Be community focused
Concurrence: Legal Department
Resolution: Attached is the proposed lease agreement.
