Background and Analysis:
The City has a need for an auxiliary police station in West Olympia to provide law enforcement services to the community. Currently, Olympia Police Department is without a suitable auxiliary police station to provide services to that portion of Olympia. An auxiliary police station will provide a location for patrol officers to perform necessary administrative and law enforcement tasks and to enhance services to the community in West Olympia.
The success of a recent public safety levy in Olympia provided for the increase of Olympia’s downtown walking patrol unit and the addition of a neighborhood liaison unit. The auxiliary police station in West Olympia will be used as primary office space, and will enhance law enforcement presence and services in West Olympia and the entire community.

Options:
1. Approve the resolution approving the terms and conditions of a lease with MPH Holdings, LLC, for premises to be used for an auxiliary police station in West Olympia, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a Lease Agreement for same.
2. Do not approve the terms and conditions of the proposed lease with MPH Holdings, LLC, and direct staff to continue negotiations for better terms, or to forego further efforts to lease premises for an OPD auxiliary police station.
Financial Impact:
Under the terms of the proposed Lease Agreement, the City will make monthly lease payments in the sum of $3,222,92 on the first of each month, commencing February 1, 2018, for a lease term of five years, with an option to renew the lease for an additional five-year term. The lease provides for annual rent increases of three percent (3%) for each remaining year of the lease, and thereafter.
