Committee approves lease renewal for District 10 police substation at 332 Whaley Ave
Summary
The Public Safety Committee approved a lease renewal to continue using 332 Whaley Avenue as the District 10 police substation; members said the site also serves as a community space for meetings and events.
The Public Safety Committee voted to approve a lease renewal that keeps the District 10 police substation at 332 Whaley Avenue in place. Committee members said the substation serves as both a police presence and a community meeting space, and they supported continuing the arrangement.
Presenters explained the lease renewal was a routine administrative renewal after the prior lease period ended more than five years ago and noted rent increases tied to inflation. An agency official said the monthly rent rose from about $1,800 to roughly $2,200 and that the department sees value in maintaining the substation for community events such as food drives and outreach meetings.
Committee members recounted local experience with the site, describing it as a neighborhood resource used for community meetings and worship services; one member specifically called out the substation's role in community engagement. A motion to approve the lease was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
The agenda referenced LM20260192, an order authorizing the mayor to enter into a five‑year lease agreement with FNK LLC (owner of 332 Whaley Avenue) for continued use as the District 10 police substation. Committee members asked staff to continue engaging with the new district manager and to report any community concerns as the substation continues operations.
