The Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the Director of Property to lease 4,009 square feet of office space at 8 Boardman Place for the Public Defender's Office. The lease term is five years with two five-year options to extend at 95% of fair market value. The annual base rent is $144,000, with a reduced rate of $84,000 in the first year and a three-month rent abatement. Rent payments will commence three months after the lease commencement date, which is effective upon approval of this Resolution and completion of tenant improvements. The Public Defender's Office requires this additional space to alleviate congestion and improve working conditions for its approximately 245 staff members, who provide legal assistance to indigent individuals. The new offices will include four private offices with glass fronts, paint touch-up, and carpet cleaning. The location is strategically close to their current office and the Hall of Justice at 850 Bryant Street, directly across the street.
