INTRODUCED BY James D. Tindall, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, the Family Support Division is currently leasing office space on three floors in the Oak Tower building in downtown Kansas City, with that lease set to expire on December 31, 2012; and,
WHEREAS, the Family Support Division is funded by the State of Missouri through federal funds, and its rent expenses are reimbursable to the County by the State of Missouri; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing has issued Request for Proposals No. 36-12 for leasing options for the Public Defender's Office in the downtown Kansas City area; and,
WHEREAS, during the negotiation process for the Public Defender's office space, it was determined that the County could receive more favorable negotiated lease rates for both the Family Support office space and the Public Defender's office space by negotiating these together; and,
WHEREAS, for the Family Support Division, this negotiated arrangement will reduce the rent by $42,437.95 for 2013; and,
WHEREAS, this arrangement is also beneficial because the Family Support Division will remain in its current location, avoiding the expense and disruption of relocating; and,
