Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
On May 19, 2020, the Board approved Lease 4922 with Kuldeep Singh Mand DBA Fairbridge Inn Express to provide non-congregate shelter for medically vulnerable homeless individuals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This lease is for 20 of 22 rooms at the Fairbridge Inn, and has been maintained on a month-to-month basis.
Amendment 1 increases capacity at the hotel by adding two more rooms, and ensures availability of rooms through December 31, 2020. The two additional rooms are slightly larger than the original 20 rooms and each contains a kitchen area, so these rooms are leased at $1,200 per month versus the $1,000 for all other rooms at the facility.
ALTERNATIVES:
Should the Board decline to approve this Amendment 1 to that Agreement 4922, the County would continue to lease the current 20 rooms for non-congregate shelter on a month-to-month basis.
