Agenda Report # 77
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Addendum to Lease Agreement ? CCG Employee Health/Wellness
Facility with Physicians Realty Trust
INITIATED BY: Community Reinvestment Department
Recommendation: Approval is requested to execute an Addendum to the Medical
Office Lease Agreement for the CCG Employee Health/Wellness Facility with
Physicians Realty Trust.
Background: The City entered into a lease agreement on February 13, 2013 to
occupy office space on the Columbus Regional Medical Center campus located at
2000 10th Avenue, Suite 410 for the Employee Health/Wellness Center. The
original lease is a five (5) year term which is set to expire on March 31,
2018. In 2014, the building located at 2000 10th Avenue was purchased by
Physicians Realty Trust. Council approved a resolution in February 2015
acknowledging the new owner and that the terms and conditions of the lease did
not change. The current monthly rental rate is $2,757.15 and the utility
recovery is $390 monthly.
The current facility is in need of repairs to include mandatory ADA
modifications, and the current provider, CareATC is in need of additional
space. The landlord has agreed to perform the repairs and provide the
additional space needed by merging Suite 410 with Suite 405 which will provide
an additional 797 square feet for a total of 2,951 square feet. The modified
rent will be $16.79 per square foot for a total of $4,129 per month plus
utilities. There will be an annual escalation of 2.5%. The new rates will not
take effect until all of the renovations are complete. At the time a new
60-month lease term will begin. The landlord will provide up to $30,000 for the
repairs/modifications.
Analysis: The extra space and the repairs (to include ADA modifications) are
necessary in order for the CCG Employee Health/Wellness Center to run
efficiently.
Financial Considerations: The rental rate will increase from $15.36 to $16.39
per square foot. The additional expenses will be paid from the Health Fund.
Legal Considerations: Any lease agreements/addendums involving the City
requires Council approval.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the Resolution authorizing the City Manager
to execute an Addendum to the Medical Office Lease Agreement for the CCG
Employee Health/Wellness Facility with Physicians Realty Trust.
