Consider Action on a Resolution Approving an Office Lease Agreement Between the Town of Addison and Kennington Commercial, at 4950 Keller Springs Road Suite 155, Addison, Texas for the Animal Control Office and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement.

The purpose of this item is to approve a lease for 1,604 square feet of lease space for the Addison Animal Control. The lease space is located at 4950 Keller Springs Road, Suite 155. The lease is for a term of 60 months and is estimated to commence on March 1, 2023.

Addison Animal Control previously rented office space off site for their operations. The agreement for this space ended several years ago and Animal Control has been using space in the Police and Courts building. With recent growth and space constraints at the police department, Animal Control needs their own, dedicated space to properly conduct daily operations. This new location will allow animal control to have dedicated office space, computers, storage areas, and a proper location to meet with citizens for animal adoptions, surrenders, etc. The new proposed base lease space rental costs are broken down in the table below.

Funds for this project were allocated in the Fiscal Year 2023 annual budget. Additional information can be found in the attached resolution with the lease.

Administration recommends approval.
