Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the attached Lease Agreement for 309 Crutchfield Street to Alliance Behavioral Health Care and authorize the County Manger to execute the attached Lease Agreement. The property is the location for Durham's crisis center, which is now called the Recovery Response Center (formerly known as the "Durham Center Access").
Alliance Behavioral Healthcare provides mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse (MH/DD/SA) services as the Area Authority in the Durham, Wake, Johnston and Cumberland County catchment area. Alliance subleases this property to Recovery Innovations, Inc., the current non-profit provider that operates the Recovery Response Center under contract with Alliance. The lease specifically allows Alliance to sublease the property for this purpose with the County's permission. Alliance has leased this facility from Durham County since 2012 when they were spun off from Durham County during the state's mental health reform.
Alliance is in the process of renovating portions of the building, investing approximately $1.5 million in upgrades to enhance the overall efficiency and use of the building as a walk-in crisis facility for the community. This investment warrants a longer lease term, and staff recommends the proposed lease term of January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023. This lease term also allows the County and Alliance to align future lease terms with the fiscal year.
Alignment With Strategic Plan: This lease agreement supports Goal 2: Health and Well-being for All.
Resource Persons: Jane Korest, Open Space and Real Estate Division Manager; Nancy Mitchell, Sr. Real Estate Officer; and Gayle Harris, General Manager for Goal 2
