Report
Summary
The Human Services Department requests to enter into a 15-year property lease agreement with Deer Valley for a modular classroom at Sunrise Elementary School to operate the Head Start Birth to Five Preschool Program. The Human Services Department further requests authority to enter subleases to allow Head Start Birth to Five subrecipients and contractors to use the modular classroom for purposes consistent with the Head Start Birth to Five program, for a maximum term of five years per sublease.
In 1994, the City of Phoenix purchased a modular classroom for Head Start preschool programming and placed it on the Sunrise Elementary School campus. The current modular classroom requires extensive repair. Due to the age of the structure, a new modular classroom will be placed on the same site, ensuring continuity of services for children and families in the area.
The Office of Head Start requires a property lease agreement for a minimum of 15 years for any modular classroom purchased with Head Start grant funds and placed on land owned by another entity. The City will lease the modular from Deer Valley to ensure the modular is used for Head Start activities for a 15-year period.
The lease at Sunrise Elementary School includes plumbing, electricity, water, fencing, parking, a playground and access to the main campus.
Contract Term
The term of the property lease agreement will be 15 years from the installation of the modular classroom, beginning on or about Jan. 1, 2023, and ending on or about Jan. 1, 2038.
Financial Impact
The Deer Valley Unified School District does not charge a lease amount or taxes for the property where the modular classroom will be placed. Consideration for any subleases to Head Start Birth to Five subrecipients and contractors will be the subleasee's performance of Head Start Birth to Five activities within the modular classroom.
