Committee approves lease amendment reducing Department of Workforce Development space at Madison job center
Summary
The committee recommended approval of Resolution 2024-358 to amend the lease with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development at the Madison job center, reducing the agency’s space (one conference room) and lowering rent under the remaining renewal term.
The Dane County Public Works and Transportation Committee recommended approval of Resolution 2024-358 to amend the county’s lease with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) for space in the Madison job center on Avebrook Avenue.
County staff explained DWD has leased space at the job center since 1993 and signed the current lease in 2019; the agency is exercising its final renewal option and requested to relinquish one conference room it has used. County staff said the change reduces the DWD’s leased space and lowers rent for the remaining renewal period. When asked about DWD’s plans for overflow meetings, staff reported they had spoken with a DWD contact, Brenda Nicole, who told them DWD does not have overflow space and intends to use the room for occasional meetings and trainings.
Committee member Udell moved approval; a committee member seconded. The committee approved the lease amendment by voice vote.
The amendment modifies only the county’s lease terms with the state agency for the job center space; the recording did not include a new rent figure in the discussion and referred listeners to the committee packet for contract specifics.
