BACKGROUND: The Parks and Recreation Land and Lakes Division needs temporary office space to conduct daily operations while renovations are conducted at the permanent headquarters building. The temporary headquarters will ensure continuity of services and operational efficiency. A one-year lease agreement with two options 1 year extensions has been negotiated for office space owned by Hillary Development, Inc. located at 5215 NW Tackle Box Road, Lawton, Oklahoma 73507. This building meets the Division’s space, accessibility, IT, and operational needs. The temporary relocation will ensure minimal disruption to public services, project planning and field operations. The selected space offers proximity to existing parks and recreational sites managed by the Lakes Division. On January, 14, 2025 this item was presented on the consent agenda and approved. On further review from Legal, it was determined that the original agreement was insufficient in regard to insurance requirements. The agreement has been amended to include the appropriate insurance requirements, and would be retroactive to February 3, 2025
