DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In August 2016, Marion County (Lessor) entered into a Lease Agreement with Marion County Veterans Helping Veterans, Inc. (VHV) (Lessee) for the purposes of operating a non-profit, one-stop veterans service center. The Lease Agreement provided that the Lessor would pay the electric utilities to the property.
On June 4, 2019, the Board approved the First Amendment to the Lease Agreement which extended the responsibility in making the utility payment for an additional three (3) years expiring on May 31, 2022.
On September 14, 2021, the Board approved the Second Amendment to the lease Agreement which extended the responsibility in making the utility payment for an additional three (3) years expiring on May 31, 2025. Additionally, the Second Amendment provides that both parties may consider extending Lessor’s responsibility for payment of electric utilities for an additional time period.
The County recognizes the importance of the many valuable services VHV has provided to the many veterans and supports the success of VHV. Staff recommends extending Lessor’s payment of electric utilities for an additional three (3) years until May 31, 2028, at which time the utility payments will be reviewed and assessed for further consideration.
