Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of a fifth amendment to a lease agreement with the Harris County Hospital District d/b/a Harris Health System for use of office space at 2015 Thomas Street, Houston, Texas to extend the term of the agreement through June 30, 2023, with up to three one-year extensions, an annual rate of $0, and a six month termination option, Precinct 2.

Background and Discussion:
Harris County and Harris Health System entered the original lease agreement for 2015 Thomas Street by approval of Commissioners Court on January 31, 1989. Harris Health System is expecting to relocate the services it provides to the public at 2015 Thomas to Quentin Mease. However, the renovation work at Quentin Mease is not scheduled to be complete until 2023. Harris Health System would like to utilize the space at 2015 Thomas Street until the new location is ready.
Expected Impact:
Harris Health System is a fully integrated healthcare system that cares for all residents of Harris County. Harris Health System’s Thomas Street Health Center is a free-standing clinic for patients affected by or living with HIV. Thomas Street provides multiple services under one roof to help patients get the necessary support to achieve healthy outcomes. Allowing services to continue at 2015 Thomas Street until Harris Health System’s new location is ready will prevent a gap in healthcare services provided to those patients. Harris Health System does not pay a rental amount to Harris County; however, Harris Health System maintains the facility.
Alternative Options:
With an engrained presence spanning over 32 years, the community benefits from the continued use of 2015 Thomas Street by Harris Health System versus alternative options. The breakdown and setup of these services elsewhere until the new facility is ready does not seem to be a reasonable alternative.
