Information

Request/Subject

Lease Agreement with Payson Unified School District.

Background Information

Gila Employment and Special Training (GEST) coordinates with county, state and federal governments in a joint effort to better serve the citizens of Gila County.

The Demonstration Project began in 1975 and was founded on the principle of “acceptance.” Establishing community acceptance of the individuals with disabilities is and always will be our priority. In 1996, the program name was changed to Gila Employment and Special Training (GEST), but our goal remains the same as we provide daily living skills and employment supports to all GEST clients.

Evaluation

As part of the contract requirements with Arizona Department of Disabilities (DDD), the GEST program is obligated to provide day treatment adult services to clients enrolled in its DDD program.

Conclusion

By approving this Lease Agreement, the GEST program will have a designated site to be used for program activities.

Recommendation

The Community Services Division Director recommends the Board approve this Lease Agreement.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve a Lease Agreement between Payson Unified School District (PUSD) and the Gila County Community Services Division, Gila Employment and Special Training Program, whereby the PUSD will lease a building at 501 S. McLane, Payson, Arizona, to Gila County at a cost of $500 per month for use as an adult day treatment center to provide services to clients enrolled in the Arizona Department of Developmental Disabilities Program, effective July 1, 2018, through June 1, 2019.
