The Lease Agreement is for a three year term beginning August 1, 2011 with an option to extend for an additional two years. The extended term of the agreement is set to expire on July 31, 2016 and staff have identified a need for a more suitable and centrally located office facility.

The commercial office space, offered by Emix Ltd., is 2,853 square feet of rentable office space on the 2nd floor of a commercial office tower and features 7 enclosed offices, open space for multiple workstations, meeting room, reception area, photocopy area, kitchenette and storage room. The purpose of the report is to seek Council's authorization to enter into the Lease Agreement with Emix Ltd. for 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, in Pickering for a five year and six month term effective January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2021, with an option to extend for an additional two five year terms, as per attachment 1.

CORP0227-07/01 revised CR 24-15 December 7, 2015 Subject: Office Space Lease Agreement Page 3 Culture & Recreation staff plan to occupy the office space at 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, in early July 2016. Occupancy cannot take place earlier because staff must complete the planning of several corporate and community events scheduled in the first half of 2016 (to include Artfest, Ribfest and Canada Day) before being available to complete a move of staff offices. Additionally, staff require Council's approval of the 2016 Current Budget to incur the one-time expense to relocate offices. To reflect the vacancy of these premises from January 1, 2016 to July 1, 2016, the Commercial Lease Agreement with Emix Ltd. for 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, will be "Additional Rent- free" for the first six months resulting in a savings of$19,971 in 2016. Discussion: As per Council Resolution #69/11, the City of Pickering entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement with Transport Canada for the use of Bentley House as City staff offices for a three year term beginning August 1, 2011, with an option to renew for an additional two years. The Bentley House is a heritage building dating back to 1853 of approximately 2,090 square feet located at 3590 Mowbray Street (formerly known as Brock Road) in Brougham. The Bentley House is a two storey building featuring four enclosed offices, open space for multiple workstations, reception area, kitchenette, photocopy/storage area, meeting room and washrooms, and storage. Since 2011, the Bentley House has been occupied by eight Culture & Recreation Staff (primarily of the Cultural Services Section) and one City Development Staff (Supervisor, Sustainability). The extended term of the agreement is set to expire on July 31, 2016 and staff have identified a need for a more suitable office facility located in downtown Pickering. The use of the Bentley House as City staff offices has posed a number of challenges over the years which include the following: 1. Inefficient use of staff time and considerable mileage expenditures in order for staff to commute to City Hall on official business, as is required on a daily basis. 2. Inconvenient and inaccessible location to host community and/or public meetings as is often required by the Cultural Services staff team when preparing for community events. • 3. Inconsistent and unreliable internet access which impacts the work of the Culture & Recreation staff who are responsible for the marketing and promotions of the Cultural & Recreation Department, including social media initiatives. 4. Limited availability within the Bentley House for additional workstations rendering the City unable to participate in grant or education programs that would accommodate co-op students and/or interns. CORP0227-07/01 revised CR 24-15 December 7, 2015 Subject: Office Space - Lease Agreement Page 4 5. Aging conditions of the heritage facility which, as per Article 10 of the existing Commercial Lease Agreement with Transport Canada, the City would be responsible to maintain and repair during the term of the agreement. For these reasons, City staff have identified more suitable commercial office space located at 1101 Kingston Road in Pickering. This particular commercial office space (Suite 280) is offered by Emix Ltd. and features 2,853 of rentable office space on the 2nd floor of the commercial office tower with 7 enclosed offices, open space for multiple workstations, meeting room, reception area, photocopy area, kitchenette and storage room. The Lease Agreement with Emix Ltd. is for a five year and six month term effective January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2021, with an option to extend for an additional two five year terms, as per Attachment 1. The lease can be terminated without penalty by the Tenant with no less than 12 months written notice. 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, is considered more suitable for the Culture & Recreation Department staff team and addresses the variety of issues present at the Bentley House. 1. Staff Productivity and Mileage: 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, is less than two kilometer from City Hall and the Pickering Recreation Complex and as such, Y 9 p reduces the time staff spend travelling to these municipal facilities as is required to conduct official City business. This both reduces mileage expenditures and increases staff productivity. 2. Location for Public Meetings: 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, is located in downtown Pickering and is easily accessible to community associations, advertisers and the general public with whom Culture & Recreation staff team work. The facility is also fully accessible, which was not the case with the Bentley House which featured a second floor accessible only by stairs. 3. Reliable Internet Service: The commercial lease features a hot spot on premises providing for reliable internet service. 4. Ample & Suitable Workstations: 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, provides sufficient office space for 13 work stations, allowing Culture & Recreation their immediate need of 10 work stations and flex space to participate in grant, co-op or intern programs and/or accommodate seasonal employees. 5. Facility Improvements: As per the Commercial Lease Agreement for this office space in Attachment 1, the City is responsible to perform such maintenance, repairs and replacements as required to keep the premises in good condition. However, 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, is a relatively new construction posing limited risk to the City in regards to facility repair and maintenance expenditures. This is unlike the Bentley House which is a heritage building of over 160 years, CORP0227-07/01 revised CR 24-15 December 7, 2015 Subject: Office Space - Lease Agreement Page 5 which poses a higher risk to the City in regards to facility maintenance and repair expenditures (as per Article 10 of Attachment 2). The purpose of the report is to seek Council's authorization to enter into the Lease Agreement with Emix Ltd. for 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 280, in Pickering for a five year term effective January 1, 2016 with an option to extend for an additional two five year terms, as per Attachment 1.

Lease Agreement of 3590 Brock Road, Pickering between the Government of Canada and the Corporation of the City of Pickering. 3. Location Map.
