Subject: Short Term Lease
Dear Executive Committee:
Attached is a copy of a short term lease that will allow us to move
about 25 staff of our staff to the 2525 building right next door to
our 2555 building. This is the only space that we found in the area
that would allow an immediate very short-term lease. Our
insurance company is covering the cost of the lease for 10 weeks
which should be just about enough time to get us back into our
space. The lease was been reviewed and approved by Tew
Cardenas.
I would like to sign the lease today or tomorrow morning at the
latest so that we can get into the space by Friday. This will allow us
to get back to business, including having small conference rooms to
meet with providers and other community partners. The space is
leased fully furnished. We will not need to move any of our
furniture and will still have access to our copy machines, other
equipment and documents.

Lease highlights:
 $7,200 per month, inclusive of telephone and internet
 Space is furnished
 Eight offices total
 Some offices will house up to five staff
 The landlord will extend month-to-month as needed with 30 days
notice
 All ELC staff will remain in close proximity
I would like your approval before I sign the lease. Please let me
know if you approve and if have any questions.

In short, the lease is necessary in order to continue regular operations.
This was the best option after considering the offsite options and insurance was
willing to afford this for us.
