located at 210 West Pine Street (the former Saks building) for office space; and
WHEREAS, Envision Law Group, the attorneys working with the City regarding
the PCE/TCE issues are required to provide a public depository, and have leased 210
W. Pine Street for this purpose, and will have 1,885 square feet of extra space available
to sublease; and
WHEREAS, the Civic Center buildings are in full capacity. Staff additions
recently approved by the City Council for the Community Development Department
(contract and full-time community improvement officers) have no room for desks, yet
need the opportunity to be grouped together if possible; and
WHEREAS, the Information Systems staff are located in three separate
locations across two buildings, making coordination and supervision of their work further
complicated because of the separation; and
WHEREAS, several options have been discussed, and staff recommends that
Community Improvement staff stay in City Hall and move the Information System staff
into the newly leased area until the time that the new Police Facility is complete; and
WHEREAS, the new office areas will be constructed by the contractor doing the
remodel work for Envision Law Group, and the cost of the City's ongoing expenses for
shared utilities, etc., will be incorporated into the sublease agreement; and
WHEREAS, the 1,885 square feet of available space will be as follows: 660
square feet for the IS staff, and 240 square feet for the Fleet and Facilities Manager and
the Construction Projects Manager, and 985 square feet of shared bathrooms, hallways,
and storage areas; and
WHEREAS, the office systems furniture needed to equip the building for
Information Systems and the other two work areas will cost $40,700.00, but will allow
the City to relocate the furniture to a permanent home in the future once that location is
determined. Staff recommends purchasing the furniture from Haworth Office Systems,
c/o Durst Office Interiors in Stockton.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
authorizes the City Manager, or his designee, to negotiate a Sublease Agreement for
the use of a portion of 210 West Pine with Envision Law Group, LLP on behalf of the
City; and
