BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The recommended action will amend the existing Lease for additional tenant improvements with Moss Colton Properties, LLC (Landlord), for the projected period of October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2033, for approximately 51,753 square feet of office space located at 1930 West Valley Boulevard in Colton (Premises).  ARMC desires to move Administration staff from their current location on the main hospital campus (located at 400 North Pepper Avenue in Colton) to maximize medical space, and relocate them into the Premises, which is located in close proximity to the main campus. 

 

On June 28, 2022 (Item No. 77), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the 10-year Lease with two, five-year options to extend for an existing building, subject to Landlord’s completion of certain turnkey and state of the art tenant improvements.  The term period for the Lease is October 1, 2023 through September 20, 2033.

 

ARMC requested RESD to amend the Lease to modify the rent, add additional tenant improvements that will allow for a complete build out of the leased space, in the amount of $239,160, to meet office facility requirements, for the period of October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2033, and provide updates to standard lease agreement language for 51,753 square feet of office space.  The tenant improvements include adding ceiling panels, carpet, floor tile, and paint.

 

The Lease provides the following authority for the RESD Director in administering the Lease:  to exercise the County’s early termination right; to execute a commencement date certificate to verify the occurrence of the actual commencement date, so long as that date is within 90 days of the projected commencement date; execute estoppel certificates confirming facts regarding the Lease and subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreements to preserve the County’s lease rights during landlord’s financing transactions involving the real property to execute amendments to the Lease that solely reflect a successor landlord following the original landlord’s sale of the real property and assignment of the lease; and to make determinations regarding the occurrence of reimbursable maintenance events payable due to the intentional misconduct of the County’s employees and invitees in the premises, so long as such reimbursement does not exceed $5,000 per event.

 

The project to approve the Lease with the Landlord was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and determined to be categorically exempt under Guidelines Section 15301 - Existing Facilities (Class 1) because there is no possibility that the leasing of the subject property will have significant effect on the environment.

 

The budget adjustments are required to the 2023-24 RESD Rents budget to increase appropriations for lease payments and reimbursements from the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC).
