RE: Agenda Item - February 21,2007 BOCC Meeting
Business Lease for 16th Judicial Circuit's Mediation
Program - Independent Mortgage and Finance Co., Inc.
600 Whitehead Street, Key West, Unit 201
The 16th Judicial Circuit's Mediation Program has been leasing space at 600 Whitehead Street,
Key West. On February 28, 2007, the business lease that was approved by the BOCC on February
15,2006, will terminate.
The Mediation Program would like to continue at this location and have been advised by
Independent Mortgage and Finance Co., Inc. that a larger space #201 is now available. Upon
termination of the present lease on February 28,2007, the Mediation office would like to enter into
a lease for space #201 commencing on March 1,2007 and ending on February 29,2008. This new
lease does have a rent increase to $900 per month or $10,800 per year, but there would have been
an increase for the current space had the Mediation Program stayed where they are.
I hereby request approval this business lease with Independent Mortgage and Finance Co., Inc.
providing office space for the 16th Judicial Circuit's Mediation Program.
