RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize a First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement between the City of Houston and North Houston District for payment of full-service gross rent for lease space at 100 Glenborough Drive, Houston, Harris County, Texas for the Houston Police Department.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The General Services Department recommends approval of a First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with the North Houston District (NHD), previously known as the Greater Greenspoint Management District, for payment of rent for lease space at 100 Glenborough Drive for the North Belt Division of the Houston Police Department’s (HPD’s) police patrol station known as the North Belt Division. NHD desires to fund the lease space for HPD’s North Belt Division because the police presence in the community promotes safety and general welfare of residents, employers, employees, and consumers in the District and the public.
The First Amendment to Lease Agreement, incorporated by reference as Exhibit A, between AMG The Oaks Apartment, LLC (Landlord) and the City of Houston (Tenant) provides for the lease of approximately 15,004 square feet of fully furnished office space on the entire third floor at 100 Glenborough Drive and 116 reserved parking spaces, at a monthly rental of $17,000.00. The First Amendment will provide for an Extended Term which will commence on December 5, 2022, and expire on September 4, 2023, with an additional Renewal Term which, if exercised, will extend the Lease term until December 4, 2023. Monthly rental will be $17,000.00 funded through the above mentioned Interlocal Agreement with NHD, which was considered in a separate City Council action.
The City may terminate the Lease Agreement for any reason or for no reason by providing 90 days’ written notice. Should the Interlocal Agreement terminate, the Lease will automatically terminate, and the monthly rental will no longer be made.
HPD will remain in the leased facility until the construction of the new North Belt Police Station on Gears Road, which is earmarked in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan in FY2023.
This is a full-service lease with no escalations or pass-through expenses.
FISCAL NOTE: There is no impact to the fiscal budget or no additional spending authority. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
