SUMMARY:

 

Approval of the Second Amendment to Lease with Beach HPY, LLC, a California limited liability company, will continue to provide 2,691 square feet of office space for the Health Care Agency at 6301 Beach Boulevard in Buena Park, for an additional five-year and three-month period through December 31, 2023.

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The Health Care Agency (HCA) through its Public Health Women, Infant & Children’s (WIC) program provides assistance to low to moderate-income pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women, and infants/children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk.  The program provides participants with supplemental food, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support and assists them in finding health care and other community services.  The purpose of WIC is to prevent health problems and to improve the health of program participants during critical times of growth and development.  HCA has several WIC locations throughout Orange County to provide these important services to the public.

 

On May 22, 2007, the Board approved a 10-year Lease for a new WIC office, located at 6301 Beach Boulevard in Buena Park (Premises).  Prior to the expiration of the original 10-term, on June 25, 2013, the Board approved the First Amendment to Lease, which significantly reduced the size of the Premises from 6,904 rentable square feet (RSF) to 2,691 RSF.  The Lease is currently in month-to-month holdover, due to negotiation efforts, pursuant to the holdover provisions of the Lease and with mutual agreement of the Lessor.

HCA has been at this location for 11 years, and has a continued need to provide these WIC services to its clients at the Premises. CEO Real Estate and HCA are recommending extending the Lease through December 31, 2023.  Under the terms of the proposed Second Amendment to Lease (Proposed Second Amendment), the rent will start at $2.25 RSF, full service gross, with no pass through for building operating expenses.  The proposed rent is consistent with current market rent and will increase annually at a fixed 3%.  The landlord has agreed to give HCA two months of free rent (November 1, 2018 and November 1, 2019) and will complete minor necessary tenant improvements, upon Board approval of the Proposed Second Amendment.

The Proposed Second Amendment is consistent with HCA’s goals and is anticipated to continue to be an excellent site for future years.  With the inclusion of a five-year option to extend the term of the lease, HCA is offered excellent stability for its WIC program for many years.

The Lessor is requesting evidence of the County’s self-insurance, with a requirement that the Lessor and its Property Manager be listed as Additional Insureds on the County’s program of self-insurance. Risk Management has reviewed and concurred that though this is not a standard County provision, this provision should not expose the County to any unusual or additional liability.  The Lease contains mutual indemnification which reduces the risk to the County. Attached as confirmation is the Risk Assessment (Attachment D).

Compliance with CEQA:  The proposed project is Categorically Exempt (Class 1) from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1), because the project involves the lease of an existing office space with minor tenant improvements, involving negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
