Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
Scope of Work: Completion of onsite construction for the warehouse consolidation lease initiative requires the termination of the current lease agreement 1365 English Ave Atlanta, Georgia. Government services provided from this leased location are being relocated into the consolidated warehouse at 5674 Campbellton Fairburn Road, Union City, Georgia.
Community Impact: Terminating this lease termination confirms Fulton County’s commitments to being financially responsible and maintaining optimum efficiency when providing government services to its residents and visitors to Fulton County.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management and the Office of County Manager terminated the lease at 1365 English Ave, NW, Atlanta, Georgia due to the relocation and consolidation of government services provided by Superior Court Services, the Fulton County Sheriff, and Elections to an alternate centralized and modernized location.
Project Implications: Terminating the lease in compliance with the lease terms was necessary to avoid financially liability which would require Fulton County to make payments of monthly rent for the entire year of 2024.
Community Issues/Concerns: None.
Department Issues/Concerns: None.
