BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: February 18, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: Lease Renewal - Elder Services at the old FWB Hospital
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board consideration to renew the lease with Elder Services
for the space currently leased to them in the old Ft. Walton Beach hospital for a five year term.
BACKGROUND: On March 20th, 2012, the BCC leased to Elder Services approximately 6700
sq. ft. in the old Ft. Walton Beach hospital for the sum of $1.00 per year to be used for their
administrative operations, the Meal-on-Wheels program, and certain other services. The current
lease will expire on March 19th, 2014 unless a new term is granted.
The Governing Board of Elder Services requests the BCC to consider granting a longer extension
to the lease with the preference being for a ten (10) year term. The request for a longer term is
made because Elder Services must invest several thousand dollars into making some repairs to
some of the kitchen equipment. This equipment is necessary to support the Meals-on-Wheels
program. However, they would like to be assured of their continued use of the space before
expending the funds on the repairs.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request Board consideration to renew the lease with Elder Services
for the space currently leased to them in the old Ft. Walton Beach hospital for a five year term or
other such term as the Board shall choose.
