end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of a license agreement (Attachment: Draft Nexus Family Healing License Agreement) with Nexus Family Healing for approximately 5,787 square feet of space located in the Dakota County Aspen House.
SUMMARY
In 2022, the County acquired a 5,787-square-foot property to be used as a youth shelter for up to 12 individuals per night, now referred to as the Aspen House. Community Services staff has again contracted with Nexus Family Healing to manage the operation of the shelter with all of the associated requirements included in that contract. In order to have Nexus Family Healing operate in a County facility, a license agreement for use of that space is necessary per County requirements. Nexus Family Healing will manage all aspects of youth care in addition to most of the day-to-day operations, including maintenance and utilities, with three key items remaining under contract with the County. Specifically, these are property insurance for the facility through Risk Management, the parking lot access agreement with the neighboring church through Facilities Management, and life/safety requirements through Facilities Management.
Facilities Management, Community Services staff, and Nexus Family Healing have agreed to the license terms and fees in the draft license document (Attachment: Draft Nexus Family Healing License Agreement) summarized below:
January 1, through December 31, 2025 The fee is established as $5,280 per year or $440 per month.
January 1, through December 31, 2026 The fee is established as $5,280 per year or $440 per month.
