| J. | 1251 Greenfield Drive Suite A 92020 Lease extension | Vote | Steve Robinson | 10 m | |
|
The CBO recommends the board approve a five year lease extension for the warehouse at 1251 Greenfield Drive Suite A. We use the warehouse for storage and for work space for our maintenance team and for our technology team. PTLC also stores the clothes it sells there and we keep long term student, human resources, attendance, and financial files there. We have a good relationship with the landlord, this space works well for us, the cost is reasonable, and moving would be a significant burden. The extension reflects the same terms as the original lease. The current lease expires in December 2025. |
