Background and Rationale
body
Ramsey County purchased the Metro Square building in 2009 and entered into a lease with the State of Minnesota for the Office of the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities. The lease has been extended twice and the current five-year lease agreement for 3,152 square feet of space ends December 31, 2021. Early in 2021, Property Management advised the State of Minnesota Department of Administration of its desire to end this lease arrangement at Metro Square and utilize this space for county staff.
The State of Minnesota Department of Administration, acting on behalf of the Office of the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, requested a six-month extension to the lease to complete their search for alternate space and ultimately relocate.
