I <br />FIR 25 1992 UC <br />OLD HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUILDING _ <br />The Board reviewed memo from General Services Director Sonny <br />Dean dated February 17, 1992: <br />DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1992 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECT <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SER <br />;A <br />SUBJECT: OLD HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUILDING <br />BACKGROUND: <br />As instructed by the Board, staff has looked at the subject building <br />for the purpose of lease or sale to some interested person or <br />persons. <br />There is approximately 6,100 square feet in this facility. It should <br />be noted that this is a specialty building in that design was for a <br />"clinic" type facility with small rooms and an enormous amount of <br />plumbing fixtures. Due to this design, there are limited uses <br />available unless major renovations were performed. <br />Without advertisement, we have had two formal inquires into the <br />possibility of lease or sale of the facility. They are: <br />1. Sherry A. Jones - She represents a group endeavor that <br />feels the building would be ideal for their use. She <br />has requested she be kept informed by the status of <br />the building as to lease or sale. Ms. Jones did not <br />indicate a dollar figure she was willing to pay. <br />2. Coalition For The Homeless - They have expressed a <br />desire to lease the entire building with the intention <br />of sub -leasing space they did not need. The lease W <br />would be "as is" and they would pay all cost <br />associated with, renovations, utilities, and <br />maintenance both in and outside of the building. They <br />want the County to maintain the insurance and them pay <br />$2.00 per square for rent. However, there are certain <br />insurances they would be required to carry. Revenues <br />from this type lease arrangement would equate to <br />approximately $12,000.00 per year. <br />When the building was in use as a health clinic, the annual <br />operational budget was approximately $21,000.00 for utilities, <br />maintenance, and custodial services. Although, we are not <br />maintaining the facility as if it were occupied, cost are still <br />incurred for minimum utilities and yard maintenance. Indian River <br />County presently has the building insured at a annual cost of <br />$460.00. This insurance would remain in tact should we decide to <br />enter into a lease with some other party <br />42 <br />
