Each lease allows for two (2) two (2) year options to extend the lease under the same terms and conditions. On Sept. 15, 2020, the Board approved the first lease amendment to the lease regarding the use of office space located at 100 H Street, Eureka, California, and approved the first two (2) year options to extend both of the above-referenced leases.
The office space located at 100 H Street, and the fenced parking lot located at the corner of H and Second Streets, Eureka, California provides staff of the Environmental Health Division of the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health (“DHHS - Public Health”) with needed space and secure parking.
