Board continues office lease to retain records; approves one-year term

Board members discussed the Urban Enterprise office lease during the July 20 meeting, noting the current month-to-month arrangement and a cited rent of $425 per month. Directors said retaining physical records and storage for office furniture and supplies was a priority in deciding to continue the lease rather than relinquish the space.

A motion to approve continuing the lease for one year was made and seconded and the board voted in favor to maintain the lease with the current landlord (identified in the meeting as Laha Investments rental properties). Directors said they would explore alternative community spaces for in-person services if needed, but for now keeping the office was considered a cost-effective way to retain records.
