Background and Rationale
body
The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, Court and Security Services Division, utilizes a leased space at the City Hall Annex. The current lease term expires on June 30, 2025. An amendment has been negotiated to downsize the leased premises as the Sheriff’s Office no longer needs the entire space and the city has need for additional space. The leased premises will be reduced by 2,322 square feet, from 5,700 square feet to 3,378 square feet, with a corresponding reduction in rent.
