RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Authorize the Chair of the Board to sign, in duplicate, the license agreement between the County of Humboldt and Organic Liberty, LLC (Attachment 1); and
2. Direct the Clerk of the Board to return both executed license agreements to the Department of Public Works Land Use Division for further processing.
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Roads Maintenance 1200325
DISCUSSION:
The license agreement with Organic Liberty, LLC is for the use of a portion of Organic Liberty, LLC’s property for temporary storage of equipment and stockpiling of materials for road maintenance and repair projects. The previous license agreement for this site was with Swanson Mining Corporation and expired on June 30, 2017 (Attachment 2).
The proposed license agreement (Attachment 1) shall commence upon the date of execution and shall terminate on Dec. 31, 2021 and shall renew automatically for successive one (1) year terms not to exceed five (5) automatic renewal terms, unless either party provides written notice of termination. The county shall have 60 days beyond this agreement’s termination date to remove equipment and stockpiled aggregate material from the site.
This agreement is consistent with similar agreements given that the standard rental rate of $50 per month shall be paid in advance on an annual basis at the sum of $600 per year. The proposed license agreement stipulates that annual site payments shall be made payable prior to July 1 of each fiscal year.
The Department of Public Works recommends executing the new license agreement because of the county’s need for stockpiling and storage sites located throughout the county’s road system. This license agreement would reduce the cost of road maintenance and repairs by allowing for advanced staging of materials and equipment in the immediate area of planned projects and for offsetting expenses associated with importing necessary road construction materials, equipment, and other appurtenant equipment from distant locations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The new license agreement provides an annual rental payment of $600. The Roads Maintenance budget 1200325-2121 shall bear the cost of all payments. There is no impact to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
N/A
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could choose not to execute a new license agreement.
