body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. King County provides essential public health services and facilities to the citizens of King County in cooperation with partnering health care providers throughout King County.
2. The King County executive is authorized to lease real property as provided by K.C.C 4.56.186, and consistent with K.C.C. 4.04.040, the council must approve by ordinance of any lease with a term exceeding two years.
3. The King County executive has negotiated with the city of Seattle the leasing of space to operate public health clinic facilities, located at 4400 37th Avenue South, Seattle, within council district two, and referred to as Lease 1185.
4. In order for the lease with the city of Seattle to extend beyond the calendar year, it must comport with the requirements of K.C.C. 4.04.040.5.b. One of the ways to satisfy the requirements of that section is for the lease to contain cancellation clause in substantially the same form as of K.C.C. 4.04.040.5.b.(2). The text of Addendum A incorporated into the lease with the city of Seattle is an attempt to comply with this code section; however, it does not preserve the county's right to unilaterally terminate the lease at the end of an appropriation. By changing one word, an "or" to an "and," in Addendum A to the lease, this right will be preserved.
5. The King County executive has negotiated with the Enumclaw school district the leasing of space to operate public health clinic facilities, located at 1640 Fell Street, Enumclaw, within council district nine, and referred to as Lease 1692.
