Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund (1100)
DISCUSSION:
LPGAC leases approximately 16 acres of timber lands from The Green Diamond Resource Company (Landowner). LPGAC sublets these 16 acres to various law enforcement agencies as gunnery ranges for firearms training. (Exhibit A - Site Plans).
On Aug. 20, 2019, your board approved a Subtenant Agreement with LPGAC to allow the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) and the District Attorney’s Office (DA) to use the gunnery ranges within these 16 acres (Exhibit B - Expired Subtenant Agreement). The use is for peace officers of HCSO and the DA to maintain firearm proficiency and training requirements. The Subtenant Agreement expired on Dec. 31, 2019. The HCSO and DA have continued use of the Subtenant Agreement on a month to month tenancy (holdover period) on its same terms and conditions.
HCSO and the DA wish to enter into another Subtenant Agreement using the same terms and conditions of the prior Subtenant Agreement (Attachment No. 1 - Subtenant Agreement). The Landowner will allow LPGAC to continue subletting to various law enforcement agencies, provided the Subtenant Agreement terms are on an annual basis. The Landowner does not want any encumbrances (Agreements) on their lands should they try to obtain a Timber Harvest Permit.
HCSO and the DA request your approval to enter into the proposed Subtenant Agreement, to be effective on Jan. 1, 2020, and expire on Dec. 31, 2020.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
HCSO and the DA will use the range periodically, with projected annual costs of $500. There is sufficient funding budget unit 221 Sheriff’s Operations for this agreement.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by creating opportunities for improved safety and health.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to sign the Subtenants Agreement; however, this is not recommended as there are no alternative locations to perform the proficiency and training of firearms at equivalate level of space and remoteness.
