Background Information:
The County acquired the former Windsor School property located within the Lealman CRA in January 2018. The vision for the property is to provide a central location from which community services and programs are offered by community partners and County departments.
Broach desires to continue its presence in the Lealman community through a new partnership with the County. Broach is a non-profit educational company that owns and operates kindergarten through 12th grade school models for students who need a personalized education focus. Broach recognizes that every child, regardless of their learning style and regardless of their needs, has the ability to learn and succeed.
Broach’s Agreement includes the use of ten (10) classrooms and five (5) offices within Building ‘C’, together with the use of the common areas within the LCC.
Excellerated Teaching Center is a local organization dedicated to providing applied behavior analysis services to children in the Tampa Bay area. They specialize in providing individualized treatment packages to target the behavioral, social, educational, and developmental needs of our children through clinical, educational, and community settings.
Excellerated’s Agreement includes four (4) classrooms within Building ‘C’, together with the use of the common areas within the LCC.
Fiscal Impact:
Broach’s rent will be $7,533.00 per month for the use of 10,044 rentable square feet of space. Excellerated’s rent will be $3,921.75 per month for the use of 5,229 rentable square feet of space. The revenue from both leases will be deposited in the General Fund, but is not included in the FY19 Proposed Budget.
Rental rates for both agreements are $9.00 per square foot, which is below current estimated market rate of $13.00 per square foot. The below market rental rate was established to attract and retain non-profit educational partners to the campus, while recovering leased space operating costs.
The County is responsible for the utilities, contracted services, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the buildings, which is included in the Real Estate Management Operating Budget in the General Fund in the FY19 Proposed Budget.
