Renewal of Lease Agreement with Parent Child, Incorporated of San Antonio and Bexar County
SUMMARY:
An Ordinance authorizing the Second Renewal of Ground Lease Agreement between the City of San Antonio and Parent Child, Incorporated of San Antonio and Bexar County (PCI), for the continued use of land for their administrative offices, located at 1227 Brady Blvd., for a five-year term, commencing September 1, 2020 and expiring August 31, 2025, for the annual rental rate of $10.00.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Parent Child, Incorporated of San Antonio (PCI) has been a tenant at 1227 Brady Blvd. since August 2009. The land leased by PCI is used as a location for a tenant-owned 7,000 square foot modular building that houses the administrative staff function of the PCI organization. Additionally, the property is utilized as a vehicle hub for various program and maintenance vehicles.
PCI is a private, non-profit human services agency devoted to providing high quality comprehensive services to children and families. PCI's mission is to provide quality early childhood developmental services and education to empower children and families to become caring, competent, responsible citizens who value education and community. Since 1979 PCI has been serving San Antonio, Atascosa, Bexar, Frio, Comal, Guadalupe, Kerr, Medina and Wilson Counties within the State of Texas, providing various programs including Early Head Start, Head Start, Child and Adult Care Food Nutrition Program as well as services to licensed or registered day care homes.
ISSUE:
The City of San Antonio recognizes the need for the continued services provided by PCI and therefore supports this action to ensure no interruption of the services and programs. Co-location of the City of San Antonio Head Start and Parent Child Incorporated administrative offices at the Brady Building location was approved by the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start, Region VI.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City has the option not renew the lease agreement with PCI. However, this would cause an interruption in PCI’s services to the youth and parents of San Antonio for an undetermined amount of time, thereby limiting the effectiveness of the youth and family support programs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The amount of revenue generated by this lease agreement for the entire five-year term is $50.00. This revenue will be deposited in the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Second Renewal of Ground Lease Agreement between the City of San Antonio and Parent Child, Incorporated of San Antonio and Bexar County for land located at 1227 Brady Blvd., for a five-year term, for the rental amount of $10.00 annually.
