DISCUSSION:
The County of Humboldt has leased office space at 930 6th St, Eureka since 1979 from California Newspapers Partnership, Inc. as the county's Lessor. On Dec. 9, 2003, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) entered into a lease with California Newspapers Partnership, Inc. (Attachment A) and entered into a new lease on Feb. 27, 2018 (Attachment B). On Jun. 16, 2020, California Newspaper executed a new lease with building owner Dew Claw, LLC. The lease redefined California Newspaper's leased premises to exclude the county's premises, effectively ending California Newspaper's relationship with the county as Lessor. As county staff was preparing a new lease with Dew Claw as Lessor, DHHS decided to move the program and staff residing at 930 6th Street to another location. This lease (Attachment C) is intended to cover the period of the county's occupation of the premises from Jul. 1, 2020 to Sept. 15, 2020; the dates when Dew Claw became the county's de facto lessor to the scheduled date of vacancy.
Upon execution of this lease, the county agrees to pay lessor the entire rent from Jul. 1, 2020 to Sept. 15, 2020 in one lump sum of $23,795.31. Should the county continue to reside within the premises beyond Sept. 15, rent shall be charged at $309.03 per day of occupation.
This facility is not accessed by any party other than county staff and is not subject to the county's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Certified Access Specialist (CASp) language.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Upon execution of this lease, rent shall be retroactively paid to Dew Claw,...
