Fiscal Note
Funds for the temporary lease locations will be split between the operating and capital budget. During the life of the lease the operating budget will contribute 36% of the annual lease costs while the capital budget will contribute 64%. Operating costs will be factored into future budgets for the impacted agencies; ongoing capital funding for the MMB Renovation project will include the capital portion of lease costs. Due to the timing of the lease there will be no charges incurred during the 2016 operating budget.

The construction schedule for the MMB renovations is estimated at eighteen (18) to twenty-four (24) months. During construction, City employees will be relocated to the Building’s entire fifth, eighth, and ninth floors, along with a portion of the tenth floor. The lease term for the 30 W. Mifflin St. location will be twenty-four (24) months, with three (3) additional renewal options of two (2) months each to allow time for delays.
