DISCUSSION:
The County has leased the property at 404 H Street, from the Elaine Joyce Foot Revocable Trust since 2011 as part of the County’s Public Safety Realignment Plan. An office was needed to house a day reporting center to provide Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS) services. On Aug. 18, 2020, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors (“Board”) approved the current lease agreement with the Elaine Joyce Foote Revocable Trust regarding the use of office space located at 404 H Street, Eureka, California.
The county executed the first option letter on Apr. 25, 2023, to extend the lease agreement to Aug. 31, 2024. In addition, the county executed the second option letter on June 4, 2024, to extend the lease agreement to Aug. 31, 2025, and further to Aug. 31, 2026.
The County is interested in extending the lease agreement for another one-year term, from Sept. 1, 2026, through Aug. 31, 2027.
Accordingly, staff recommend authorizing the Chair of the Board to execute the third amendment of the lease agreement with the Elaine Joyce Foote Revocable Trust regarding the use of office space located at 404 H Street, Eureka, California.

STAFFING IMPACT:
Narrative Explanation of Staffing Impact:
The third amendment to the lease agreement at 404 H Street will not impact current staffing levels.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to approve the third amendment to the lease agreement. However, this alternative is not recommended as the result will be a holdover term on a month-to-month tenancy. Should the Lessor choose to terminate the lease, the one (1) month notice period will not be sufficient to vacate and find an alternative location and thus prevent the Humboldt County Probation Department from providing needed services.
