Committee recommends lease extensions for two DPH program spaces, including retroactive approvals
Summary
The committee recommended forwarding resolutions authorizing three‑year amended lease options for Department of Public Health spaces at 68 Twelfth Street (EMS) and 1360 Mission Street (STD program), including retroactive approvals to cover prior months and lump‑sum payments for rent differences.
The Budget and Finance Committee recommended two resolutions that authorize the director of property to exercise amended three‑year lease options for Department of Public Health (DPH) programs and send both items to the full Board of Supervisors with recommendation.
For Item 2, staff said DPH's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) division has occupied roughly 3,500 square feet at 68 Twelfth Street, Suite 200B since February. Real estate staff negotiated an amended option reducing a five‑year extension to three years to allow DPH time for space evaluation and potential consolidation. Staff said the amendment is retroactive to Feb. 1 and includes a retroactive payment to the landlord to cover the rent difference that would have applied during that period.
For Item 3, Amy Brown, the city's director of real estate, described a similar arrangement for DPH's STD program space at 1360 Mission Street. The original lease had a five‑year option; DPH negotiated an amended three‑year option and requested retroactive approval back to Dec. 31, 2007. Supervisor Carmen Chu asked whether the city had been paying month‑to‑month and was told yes; staff said once the extension is approved the city will make a lump‑sum payment to cover the difference.
Staff recommended approval of both resolutions and, with no objections from committee members and no public comment, the items were sent forward with recommendation to the full board.
