Council advances sublease allowing Clemson Free Clinic, Healing Bridges to share space
Summary
The council approved the first reading of sublease agreements providing a five-year initial term and $550 monthly reimbursement split between the Clemson Free Clinic and Healing Bridges Counseling Center, with an additional memorandum of understanding to define their arrangement.
Clemson — The City Council on Feb. 2 approved the first reading of two sublease agreements that would allow the Clemson Free Clinic and Healing Bridges Counseling Center to share city-owned space under a five-year initial term.
Lindsay told the council the agreements, attached to the agenda, set a five-year initial term and a recommended reimbursement of $550 per month to be divided evenly between the clinic and Healing Bridges. She said the two entities "have agreed upon how they will share the timing of that" and that an additional memorandum of understanding between the two nonprofits would supplement the sublease documents.
A council member moved to approve the first reading and another seconded; the motion passed by voice vote. Councilors asked whether the organizations share board members and whether the occupancy timeline would meet a March 1 internal goal; staff said the goal was contingent on approval and that the organizations expect to follow the stated timeline pending council action.
Why it matters: The sublease is intended to preserve community health services by providing stable space and an affordable cost arrangement for two local nonprofit providers.
The motion approved the first reading; final approval will depend on subsequent readings and any required contract-processing steps.
