TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary for an office sublease agreement between 4900 Long Beach Office, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord), and the City of Long Beach (Tenant), for office space at 4900 Airport Plaza Drive, Suite 110, and 4910 Airport Plaza Drive, Suite 225 for the City of Long Beach Human Resources Department’s Risk Management and Safety Bureaus.

DISCUSSION
The City of Long Beach (City) Human Resources Department’s Risk Management and Safety Bureaus (collectively “Bureaus”) are currently split between City Hall and a portion of the City’s main Health and Human Services Department facility at 2525 Grand Avenue. The Bureaus provide vital services to the City and serve City employees in several essential areas, including OSHA compliance, safety, risk management, employee medical care, and workers’ compensation. The Bureaus have increased in size and scope over the years as a result of an increase in the City’s workforce and the addition of the Workers’ Compensation Division due to a reorganization of the City Attorney’s Office.

Office space at 4900 Airport Plaza Drive, Suite 100, and 4910 Airport Plaza Drive, Suite 225 (collectively “Premises”) have been identified as the most suitable option.
