Commissioners Court - Regular Session

Discuss and take appropriate action awarding and ratifying the lease proposals received from the sole respondents to the to the county’s request for proposal to lease the county's office spaces located at 306-310 W. 7th Street, Georgetown, Texas, also known as the office suites at Belford Square.

On March 24, 2009, the commissioners court authorized the advertising and setting of the date of Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at 2:00pm in the Purchasing Department to receive proposals for LEASE OF SIX OFFICE SPACES KNOWN AS THE BELFORD SQUARE PROPERTY AT 306-310 WEST 7TH STREET, GEORGETOWN, TX, (Proposal# 09WCP816). The county received responses from only the tenants that were existing in the office suites prior to such request for proposals. Two of the proposers, Mr. Shawn Dick and the Cognitive Learning Center, withdrew their proposals and moved to other locations. One of the existing tenants had to move to a new office suite within the same property due to drainage issues at his existing suite. The suite that contains potential drainage issues remains vacant and the suite that the Cognitive Learning Center moved out of also remains vacant. Thus, we have 4 tenants occupying 6 of the office suites. The lease agreements made part of this item were drafted and approved, as to form, by the County Attorney’s Office and Jim Gilger of the Williamson County Auditor’s Office.
