ITEM SUMMARY SHEET
COMMITTEE REPORT TO BOARD
Resolution #2026-6552 _ 26-21
Motion to adopt the attached suggested resolution.
ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY
Lease Yolanda Smith Charles
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
As owner of the 51111 Woodward building in Pontiac, Michigan, the County has a lease with
Hispanic Autism Services of Michigan for approximately 3,000 square feet on the first
floor. Amendment #1 to the Lease would extend the lease term to October 31, 2027 with the annual
and monthly base rent as provided in Amendment #1.
POLICY ANALYSIS
The original Hispanic Autism Services of Michigan lease was transferred to Oakland County through
the purchase of 51111 Woodward (RESOLUTION #2023-3203 _ 23-128). This amendment extends
the lease term by 2 years and is retroactive to November 1, 2025. There is no significant change in
the rental rate.
Note: The original lease expired January 31, 2025. The amendment is retroactive to November 1,
2025. While the original lease included a holdover provision of rent equal to 125% of the rent
payable for the last year of the lease term, it is unclear at this time why the lease was not renewed
timely, retroactive to January, or what rental rate was charged during this time.
FISCAL IMPACT: No Budget Amendment Needed
