RE: Approval of a lease agreement between Genesee County and the City of Flint for office space at the McCree Building; the term of this agreement is June 1, 2026 through December 31, 2029
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a lease agreement between Genesee County and the City of Flint for office space at the McCree Building; the term of this agreement is June 1, 2026 through December 31, 2029
BACKGROUND:
When the 67th and 68th District Courts merged, the city and the county entered into a 10 year MOU that provided payments for transition. As part of those payments, the City of Flint Attorney Office held space at McCree to handle court cases. That MOU expired on December 31, 2025. The City of Flint desires to continue occupying this space for use by their attorneys.
DISCUSSION:
The County negotiated the attached lease with the city to provide space at McCree. The current space occupied by the city is not usable by the county for any other purpose. As such, it makes sense to enter into an agreement that allowed for continued use. The proposed rate is $750.00 per month, with an initial backpay installment that would cover the period of January through May.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
There is no impact on HR.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
This payment would be positive to Genesee County’s budget. This is revenue that would not otherwise be realized. This will be receipted to account 1010-286.00-667.000 and a budget amendment for the remainder of the fiscal year is attached.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
There are no additional requirements for Facilities to lease this space. There was some initial coordination with the city to provide their own internet service.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
There are no additional requirements for IT to lease this space. There was some initial coordination with the city to provide their own internet service.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
This lease would contribute to the long-term financial stability of Genesee County by adding an additional revenue stream to the county budget.
