COUNCIL DISTRICTS IMPACTED: 7
SUBJECT:
A lease with RE Office-TX II, LLC for 3,120 square feet of office space located at 4606 Centerview Drive in Council District 7 for a seven year term.
SUMMARY:
This ordinance authorizes the lease of 3,120 square feet of office space in a building located at 4606 Centerview Drive in Council District 7 with RE Office-TX II, LLC for a term of seven years commencing upon completion of improvements to the space to accommodate the use by the San Antonio Police Department's (SAPD) Psychological Services Office. The initial annual rent will be $57,720.00 increasing each year during the term with annual rent of $62,400.00 during the final 12 months of the term.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
SAPD has long recognized the importance to ensure the mental and emotional health of officers that serve the department including the many stresses placed on officers by the job they perform and the toll these stresses, if not addressed, can take on the officers and their families. To help decrease the impact of excessive stress, SAPD has a Psychological Services Office prepared to support the mental health needs of its officers and their families through evaluation, counseling and consultation. The office space provided by this lease will house the employees that perform these services and provide sufficient space to implement therapeutic services associated with the services provided.
ISSUE:
The City presently occupies space for this use under a lease that is on a month to month basis and the landlord has refused to renew that lease under terms satisfactory to the City, therefore renewing the existing lease is not an option. A search for alternative facilities resulted in the subject building being chosen due to its location in proximity to the clients served, ease of access and free parking for users of the service provided.
