TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary for the First Amendment to Lease No. 33971 with West 15th LLC, for warehouse space at 600 West 15th Street, for the continued operation of the Long Beach Police Department’s property and evidence storage, to extend the term to September 30, 2021. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
On August 18, 2015, the City Council authorized the execution of a lease at 600 West 15th Street (Leased Premises) for the operation of the Long Beach Police Department’s (LBPD) long-term property and evidence storage. The current lease expired on January 31, 2021, and is currently on a month-to-month holdover status. The Lessor, West 15th Street LLC, informed the City of its desire to move forward with different occupancy requiring the City to relocate to a new site that meets LBPD’s storage needs. To accommodate the time necessary to relocate to a new facility, the Lessor has agreed to an amendment extending the current term of the Lease until September 30, 2021.
The Base Rent will increase from $13,665 to $23,764 per month and the monthly Common Area Maintenance (CAM) Charges will be $951 per month for a total monthly rent of $24,715. Further, the City will acknowledge items to be repaired or restored per the original terms of the lease including sliding doors, removal of certain improvements such as security cameras, external Cashier’s window and internal windows added at time the LBPD took occupancy, which is currently estimated at $28,000. The City will also pay $4,500 to the Lessor toward the repair of a steel girder, which is a structural element of the building. After these improvements, the City will have no further obligations with respect to repairing damages to structural elements of the building. Staff from LBPD and the Economic Development Department are in the process of identifying a new location for LBPD’s long-term property and evidence storage.
