GENERAL SERVICES - APPROVAL OF LEASE AMENDMENTS FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND NOTICES OF EXEMPTION (DISTRICTS: 1 & 2)
Body
OVERVIEW
The San Diego County District Attorney's Office (DAO) is responsible for prosecuting felony crimes committed in San Diego County and misdemeanor offenses that occur outside the City of San Diego. In addition, the District Attorney's Office provides comprehensive victim services and participates in many crime prevention programs throughout San Diego County, as well as collaborative courts that hold offenders accountable but divert them to programs and treatment that stop the cycle of recidivism.

This lease expired on June 30, 2024, and there are no options to extend the term. The second is a lease for a warehouse located at 1288-1294 Fayette Street in El Cajon. This lease expired on March 31, 2024, and there are no options to extend the term. Both leases are on holdover, which has allowed the County to continue occupancy on a month-to-month basis while amendments were negotiated.
Staff from the Department of General Services have negotiated a third amendment to the lease agreement for the District Attorney's South Bay Office and a first amendment to the lease agreement for their warehouse at 1288-1294 Fayette Street. Today's request is for Board of Supervisors approval of the lease amendments and find them exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
