Summary

City staff told the council the probation office’s two-year lease is up for renewal and recommended a modest rent increase (about 10% over two years) to align with comparable office rents; no questions were raised and staff will proceed.

Staff presented the probation office lease renewal for council consideration, reporting the office requested a modest rent increase for a two-year renewal.

Miss Ellis told the council the probation office has been easy to work with and that the suggested increase—about 10% over two years—would bring the office closer to comparable office rental rates. She said there have been no complaints from probation staff and described the arrangement as consistent with the city’s practice of renting government office space to government agencies.

No formal vote or motion on the lease was recorded during the work session and council members did not ask further substantive questions after the presentation.

What's next: Staff presented the renewal terms for council awareness; if council chooses to take formal action on the lease, staff will bring a motion and the proposed lease amendments to a subsequent meeting.
