HHSC Memorandum Neighborhood Resources Department- Memo No. HD24-07 Date: June 5, 2024 To: Housing and Human Services Commission Thru: Leah Powell, Neighborhood Resources Director From: Amy Jacobson, Housing and Redevelopment Manager Subject: Resolution NO. HO181 Approving the Eleventh Amendment to the lease agreement between the City of Chandler and Maricopa County authorizing a two-year lease extension for space in the recreation building at 660 S. Palm Lane, Chandler, Arizona, for use as a Head Start Facility Recommendation: Staff proposes to the Housing and Human Services Commission (HHSC) members the recommendation to the Public Housing Authority Commission (PHAC) the approval of the Eleventh Amendment to the lease agreement between the City of Chandler and Maricopa County authorizing a two-year lease extension for space in the recreation building at 660 S. Palm Lane, Chandler, Arizona, for use as a Head Start Facility. Background: Maricopa County has operated a Head Start pre-school program in the Public Housing Recreation Building, located at 660 S. Palm Lane, since 1993. In 1993, the County contributed $60,000 towards the remodeling of the existing building to better accommodate Head Start’s licensing needs. Discussion: The original amended and restated lease with the current terms, conditions and rent amount was executed in 2017. The current three-year term of the amended renewal lease with Maricopa County Head Start ends June 30, 2024. The current lease amount is $3,999.96 per year. The existing lease includes an option to extend the lease for a two-year period at an annual rate of $3,999.96 per year. Maricopa County is requesting to exercise the option for a two-year lease extension under the same terms and conditions outlined in the current lease. The Head Start Program serves both the Public Housing residents’ children and neighborhood children. Head Start is a valuable resource that better prepares low-income children for a school environment. Financial Implications: All costs associated with the lease and the Head Start program are paid for by Maricopa County Head Start or by the United States Department of Housing and Memo No. HD24-07 June 5, 2024 Page 2 Urban Development through the Public Housing operating budget. Proposed Motion: Move to recommend Resolution No. HO181 Approving the Eleventh Amendment to the lease agreement between the City of Chandler and Maricopa County authorizing a two-year lease extension for space in the recreation building at 660 S. Palm Lane, Chandler, Arizona, for use as a Head Start Facility. Attachments: Resolution HO181 Eleventh Amendment to 660 S. Palm Lane
