DISCUSSION
Since 1994, the Department of Community Development, Neighborhood Services Bureau, has leased office space in the Willmore City neighborhood to house the Willmore Community Police Center (Center). From its inception, the Center has become an important resource to the neighborhood by providing area residents with more convenient access to the Police Department, facilitating referral of requests to other City departments, and offering a location for community meetings. During Fiscal Year 2008, the Center recorded the following activities: 3,869 community members visited the Center; 2,059 phone calls were received; 3,486 crimes were reported to Center staff;
749 residents were referred to various City departments for assistance with solving neighborhood problems; 1,008 residents were able to access information translated in their native language; and 153 community meetings, workshops and events were organized by the Center's staff to educate residents and business owners.
On November 1, 2008, the City exercised its final option to extend Lease No. 28948, which will terminate on October 31, 2009. The proposed Fourth Amendment to Lease No. 28948 contains the following major terms and conditions:
· Landlord: Patricia Ann Waters, an individual.
· Tenant: City of Long Beach.
· Premises: The leased premises consist of approximately 1,700 useable square feet of office space located at 910 Daisy Avenue.
· Lenqth of term: The Lease term shall be for a period of one year, commencing on November 1,2009 and terminating on October 31,2010.
· Options to Renew: There shall be two options to extend the Lease for a period of one year each.
· Rent: Effective November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010, the rent shall remain the same as the current rental rate at $1,003 per month (approximately $0.59 per square foot).
All other terms, covenants and conditions in Lease No. 28948 shall remain in effect.
This letter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Richard Anthony on June 23,2009 and Budget and Performance Management Bureau Manager David Wodynski, on June 25, 2009.
