Committee approves one‑year lease amendment for Office of Inspector General at 350 South Figueroa; instructs GSD to study city‑owned alternatives
Summary
The Government Operations Committee on May 6 approved a one‑year lease amendment for the Office of Inspector General to remain at 350 South Figueroa Street and instructed the General Services Department to study options to move the office into city‑owned space at the end of the lease.
The Government Operations Committee on May 6 approved, as amended, a municipal facilities committee recommendation to authorize a one‑year lease amendment with 350 Figueroa LLC for office space at 350 South Figueroa Street to continue occupancy by the Office of Inspector General.
Albert Griego, representing the Municipal Facilities Committee, presented the item and said the office currently houses approximately 30 staff; he said the municipal facilities committee had instructed the Office of Inspector General to report exact staff counts and telecommuting schedules for the record. Griego said the city evaluated available city‑owned space but much of it is not move‑in ready and that GSD would continue to look for permanent space.
A committee member moved to approve the lease and added an instruction for the General Services Department (GSD) to study potential options to relocate the Office of Inspector General into city‑owned property at the conclusion of the lease. A second was recorded. The committee recorded three ayes — Councilmember Padilla, Councilmember Lee and Councilmember Gerardo — and approved the item as amended.
Committee members asked whether a full analysis of city‑owned space exists; staff said GSD maintains an inventory of available city‑owned space and that an assessment would consider improvements needed to make space move‑in ready.
The lease amendment was approved for a one‑year extension in the office’s current space; the committee requested GSD report back on options to house the Office of Inspector General in city‑owned property at the end of the lease term.
