RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the Subtenant Agreement between the County of Humboldt and the Long Prairie Gun and Archery Club (LPGAC);

Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund (1100)
DISCUSSION:
LPGAC leases approximately 16 acres of timber lands from Green Diamond Resource Company (Landowner). LPGAC sublets these 16 acres to various law enforcement agencies as gunnery ranges for firearms training.
On April 28, 2020, 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 (Attachment No. 1 - 2020-04-20 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, 2020.
The use of the gunnery ranges had been closed due to Covid-19, the inability of the LPGAC to hold board of director meetings and logging operations by Green Diamond Resource Company.
Re-opening of the gunnery ranges has recently been approved by LPGAC and Green Diamond Resource Company, resulting in the need for a new Subtenant Agreement (Attachment No. 2 - New Subtenant Agreement).
HCSO and the DA request your Board to approve the proposed Subtenant Agreement to be effective Jan. 1, 2022 and expire on Dec. 31, 2022.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
HCSO and the DA will use the range periodically, with projected annual costs of $500. There is sufficient funding budget unit 1100-221 Sheriff’s Operations for this agreement. There will be no impact to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by creating opportunities for improved safety and health.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Public Works
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.
