Report
Summary
The Human Services Department requests to enter into a 15-year agreement with Booker T. Washington Child Development Center to lease a modular building to operate the Head Start Birth to Five Program. The Booker T. Washington Child Development Center Head Start program has grown and requires more office space and meeting rooms for its administrative staff, teachers, and community partners. The new modular building will be placed in the same vicinity, ensuring continuity of services for children and families in the area.
The Office of Head Start requires an agreement allowing use for a minimum of 15 years for any modular building purchased with Head Start grant funds and placed on land owned by another entity. The City will lease the modular from Booker T. Washington Child Development Center and sublease and license the modular to Head Start program partners to ensure the modular is used for Head Start activities for a 15-year period.
The lease at Booker T. Washington Child Development Center includes plumbing, electricity, water, fencing, parking, a playground and access to the main campus.
Contract Term
The term of the facility use agreement will be 15 years from the installation of the modular building, beginning on or about July 1, 2023, and ending on or about Aug. 1, 2038.
Financial Impact
The Booker T. Washington Child Development Center does not charge a lease amount or taxes for the property where the modular building will be placed. Consideration for any subleases to Head Start Birth to Five Program sub-recipients and contractors will be based on the subleasee's performance of Head Start Birth to Five Program activities within the modular building.
