Board of Works renews two Merit Center leases for nonprofit tenants
Summary
The Board of Works unanimously approved one-year lease renewals for Family Centered Services and the Literacy Alliance at the Merit Center, each for 875 sq. ft. at $5.25 per square foot ($4,594 annually), and authorized the mayor to sign the agreements.
The Board of Works voted unanimously to renew two nonprofit leases at the Merit Center and authorized the mayor to sign the agreements, a staff presenter said.
The presenter told the board that Family Centered Services occupies 875 square feet and pays $5.25 per square foot, totaling $4,594 per year, or $383 per month. Its lease had been up July 14; the renewal would run from July 15 through July 14 of the following year. The Chair moved to approve the renewal and to authorize the mayor to sign; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
The board then approved a nearly identical renewal for the Literacy Alliance, also for 875 square feet at the same rate and term, the presenter said. The board moved and seconded approval and again approved the authorization for the mayor to sign.
The renewals are straight lease extensions for long-standing Merit Center tenants; the board did not discuss changes to rent, space, or services during the meeting. The agreements authorize the mayor to execute the documents on behalf of the board. The board took the votes during the meeting and did not set additional conditions.
The board moved on after approving the two renewals; the mayor was not present and the chair presided as a non-voting member.
