RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize a Third Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Houston and the North Houston District for space at 100 Glenborough Drive, Houston, Harris County, Texas, for the Houston Police Department.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The General Services Department recommends approval of a Third Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with the North Houston District (NHD), previously known as the Greater Greenspoint Management District, for payment of rent for space at 100 Glenborough Drive for the Houston Police Department (HPD) North Belt Division. The City of Houston leases 15,004 square feet of fully furnished office space on the entire third floor and 116 reserved parking spaces from AMG The Oaks Apartment, LLC. NHD funds the lease space for HPD’s North Belt Division because the police presence in the community promotes the safety and general welfare of residents, employers, employees, and consumers in the District and the public.
On November 29, 2017, by Ordinance 2017-921, City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with the North Houston District for payment of rent for space at 100 Glenborough Dr. for HPD. The lease provided a three-year term with two one-year renewal options, which the City exercised and provided a monthly rental rate of $16,000.00. The lease commenced December 1, 2017.
On August 31, 2022, by Ordinance 2022-672, City Council approved a First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement which provided for a nine-month term that commenced December 5, 2022, and expired September 4, 2023, with an option to extend the lease until December 4, 2023, which the City exercised. The First Amendment provided a monthly rental rate of $17,000.00.
On October 25, 2023, by Ordinance 2023-883, City Council approved a Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement which provided a nine–month lease which commenced December 5, 2023 and expired September 4, 2024 with an option to extend the lease until December 4, 2024. The Second Amendment provided a monthly rental rate of $18,360.00.
This Third Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement will extend the Term of the Agreement from December 5, 2024, through December 24, 2026, with an optional twelve (12) month extension. This Amendment provides a monthly rental rate of $19,734.81 per month during months 1 through 12 and $20,134.76 per month for months 13 through the expiration of lease and for the renewal option, if exercised.
The Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement with AMG The Oaks Apartment, LLC will be considered as a separate City Council action.
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 FY2025.
PROPERTY LOCATION: 100 Glenborough Drive, Houston, TX 77060.
