The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider a recommendation from Acting Chief Executive Joseph Nicchitta to authorize him to execute a proposed five-year lease agreement with Star View Behavioral Health Inc., for the continued use of 9,678 square feet of office space at the High Desert Mental Health Urgent Care Center.<\/p>\n
The center, at 415 East Ave. I in Lancaster, opened in July 2021. The center is open 24 hours a day seven days a week. The center serves individuals ages 13 and older who are experiencing a psychiatric crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The center is operated by Star View under contract with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. The county entered into a lease with Star View in January 2021 to operate the center. The lease expired June 30, and Star View has been operating in holdover, according to a letter to the board from Nicchitta.<\/p>\n
The proposed lease grants Star View a five-year term, with one five-year option to extend the proposed lease.<\/p>\n
According to the proposed lease, Star View will pay a rental rate of $1.51 per square foot, or approximately $14,585 per month with annual increases of 3%, as well as paying all taxes, insurance premiums, utility charges, maintenance, repair and replacement expenses and all other costs, fees, charges, expenses, reimbursements and obligations of the property.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe proposed Lease allows Star View to meet its obligations under the (Department of Mental Health) service contract and continue to serve the County as a (Psychiatric Urgent Care Center),\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider a recommendation from Acting Chief Executive Joseph…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1570,5374,131,133,132],"class_list":["post-74449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-health","tag-lease","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
