BACKGROUND:

On June 30, 2013 the Escambia County Department of Health (DOH) discontinued providing services and vacated two properties located at 501 and 511 South Church Street in Century, Florida. On July 1, 2013 the ownership of these two properties were turned over to Escambia County.

Health and Hope Clinic, Inc. (HHC) had an agreement with the DOH to operate and provide services from the building located at 501 South Church Street. HHC is a non-profit corporation that provides healthcare services to uninsured and medically underserved individuals in Escambia County. HHC has made a request to Escambia County to continue operating out of this location and would like to enter into a lease agreement.

As agreed upon in this Lease Agreement, HHC will be responsible for the routine maintenance of the building's interior, and the landscaping and grounds maintenance surrounding the exterior of this property. In addition, HHC will be responsible for all utility service charges, including electricity, water, sewer, gas, custodial services, pest control, security, telephone, internet and cable television.
