Authorization To Execute License Agreement With HIRED For Office Space At Northern Service Center
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of license agreement with HIRED for office space located at the Northern Service Center.
SUMMARY
Space related to the Career Force Center is currently used by the following agencies at the Northern Service Center:
* The State of Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
* HIRED
* Avivo, formerly Resource Inc.
HIRED is one of the two private non-profit agencies that contract with Dakota County to provide employment and training services to persons eligible for the Workforce Investment Act, State and Federal dislocated worker programs, and the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) in Dakota County. Since these two agencies coordinate service delivery with the County and State of Minnesota, these agencies require office space in the Northern Service Center.
HIRED has used space in the Northern Service Center since 2007. The most recent agreement expired on June 30, 2024.
Staff recently completed negotiations with HIRED for a one-year license for the use of approximately 179 square feet of office space in the Northern Service Center through June 30, 2025 (Attachment: Draft License Agreement - HIRED). This license has four automatic one-year extensions should both the County and HIRED agree to the extensions.
The 2024/2025 license rates are $24.18 per square foot and $4,328.22 annually, with a 1.5 percent increase each year over the prior year. Rates are consistent with comparable County space.
RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff recommends that the County Board authorize execution of the license agreement with HIRED for approximately 179 square feet of office space located in the Dakota County Northern Service Center in West St. Paul, Minnesota.
