Status:
Approve the renewal of the Lease Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and the City of Pompano Beach, Florida
On February 17, 2004, the City of Pompano Beach entered into a ten (10) year lease agreement with The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) for the use of space in Building 9 (currently designated as Building 12) on the campus of Pompano Beach High School. Over the years, the City ran a pre-school program for up to 4 year-old children in the leased facility, while the SBBC utilized two classrooms in the Building for the Amanda?s Place program which served infants to 3 year old children. The lease with the City was scheduled to expire on February 17, 2014, and the City has expressed desire to renew the lease for another ten (10) year term. However, the leased facility has defects and some structural issues. As such, it was determined that the lease cannot be renewed at the Pompano Beach High School, but at another SBBC owned facility. However, the current lease was extended to June 30, 2014, so as not to disrupt the pre-school program in the middle of the school year.
For background purposes, the subject leased Building 12 was constructed in 1954, and when the City entered into the agreement, there was acknowledgement that the Building at that time needed extensive repairs. Also around that period, the Building was the subject of a District filed Castaldi plan which has since been approved by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE). Despite these issues, the City desired to move forward with lease of the Building with acknowledgement that it would maintain the facility to make it habitable. Thereafter, the lease was entered into for the stated period.
But over the years, critical components of the Building continued to deteriorate, and have gotten worse. To this end, pertinent District staff inspected the Building and recommended that defects found during its inspection are not worth repairing; and as such, the Building should be demolished. Given this recommendation, staff explored alternate viable/safe SBBC owned facilities where the City run program could be relocated. Based on these efforts, it was decided that the City?s program should be relocated to Portable Nos. 667C, 414P, 351VE, and 1561P at Sanders Park Elementary School.
This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel; and upon its approval by the SBBC, the City will take formal action to do the same.
There is a positive financial impact of $1.00 rental annual rate, plus $1,275.25 annually for water and sewer service charge; therefore, this item does not require a Collaboration Form from the Capital Budget Department.
