RECOMMENDATION: That City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a lease agreement consistent with the general terms of the attached Lease Agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia.
BACKGROUND: The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) currently leases City-owned office and clinical space at 4480 King Street and 1200 N. Howard Street (Casey Clinic) from the City of Alexandria. The City realizes approximately $386,000 in lease revenue annually, including an expiring $1 per year lease for a portion of the space. The facility at 4480 King Street requires significant capital reinvestment and will no longer be available for VDH.
Therefore, as part of the consolidation of the Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) and Health Department operations from 4480 King Street and other City-owned and leased locations to the building at 4850 Mark Center Drive, VDH will be relocating its operations from 4480 King Street to 4850 Mark Center Drive. To formalize the relocation to 4850 Mark Center Drive, a Lease Agreement between the City and VDH is proposed that will provide the space needed for VDH to continue to provide health services in the new facility at 4850 Mark Center Drive...
