TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute any and all documents necessary for the Fourth Amendment to Lease No. 27279 with Edwin White, an individual, for office space located at 2023 Pacific Avenue for the continued operation of the Department of Community Development, Neighborhood Services Bureau, Wrigley Community Police Center, for an additional one-year term at the monthly rental rate of $1,220. (District 6)
DISCUSSION
Since 1993, the Department of Community Development, Neighborhood Services Bureau, has leased office space at 2023 Pacific Avenue to house the Wrigley Community Police Center (Center). From its inception, the Center has become a vital resource center for the neighborhood by providing area residents with convenient access to the Police Department, facilitating referrals to other City departments, and offering a location for community meetings. During Fiscal Year 2008, the Center recorded the following activities: 1,912 community members visited the Center; 1,030 crimes were reported to Center staff; 266 residents were referred to various City departments for assistance with solving neighborhood problems; 273 residents were able to access information translated in their native language; and 25 community meetings and workshops were organized by the Center's staff to educate residents and business owners.
On June 1,2008, the City of Long Beach exercised its final option to extend Lease No.
27279, which terminated on May 31, 2009. The Lease has since been on holdover status while a new extension has been negotiated. The proposed Fourth Amendment to Lease No. 27279 contains the following major terms and conditions:
· Landlord: Edwin White, an individual.
· Tenant: City of Long Beach.
· Premises: The leased premises consist of approximately 1,126
useable square feet of office space located at 2023 Pacific Avenue.
· Length of Term: The Lease term shall be for a period of one year
commencing on June 1,2009 and terminating on May 31,2010.
. Options to Renew: There shall be two options to extend the Lease
for a period of one year each.
. Rent: Effective June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010, the rent shall
remain the same as the current rental rate at $1,220 per month
(approximately $1.08 per square foot).
All other terms, covenants and conditions in Lease No. 27279 shall remain in effect.
This letter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Richard Anthony on June 6, 2009 and Budget and Performance Management Bureau Manager David Wodynski, on June 18, 2009.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on July 14, 2009, in order to execute an agreement for the City's continued use of office space at 2023 Pacific Avenue to house the Wrigley Community Police Center.

Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Community Development Grants Fund (SR 150) in the Department of Community Development (CD) to support this activity. There is no impact on the General Fund.
