Title
GENERAL SERVICES - APPROVE THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, 1250 MORENA BOULEVARD, SAN DIEGO AND NOTICE OF EXEMPTION (DISTRICT: 4)
Body
OVERVIEW
The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has operated the North Central Behavioral Health Center, located at 1250 Morena Boulevard in San Diego since 1988. HHSA, through its Behavioral Health Services Department, provides mental health and substance use disorder services to San Diego County residents of all ages. The current lease, approved by the Board of Supervisors (Board) on June 15, 2004 (17), and amended on March 23, 2010 (13), expired on June 30, 2025. The lease went into holdover as additional time was needed to negotiate an amendment. The holdover has allowed the County of San Diego to continue occupancy on a month-to-month basis.
Staff from the Department of General Services have negotiated a lease amendment that will extend the term by three years, with two consecutive options of one year each. Today's request is for Board approval of the third amendment to the lease agreement.
