Parking Lease Termination at 272 Harris St, Eureka
end
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors authorize the Parking Lease Termination at 272 Harris St, Eureka; and authorize Public Works staff to submit a notice of termination to the landlord.
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
There is no source of funding as we are terminating a lease and therefore not paying rent.
DISCUSSION:
In February of 1991, the county purchased the residence of 2956 D Street (hereinafter called the Property) in Eureka to accommodate a Social Services Emergency Shelter Facility for abused and neglected children. Use of the Property started in June of 1991. On July 9, 1991, the Board approved a parking lease to accommodate ten (10) parking spaces for employees and public use of the Property (Attachment 1). The parking spaces were located across the street from the Property, within a church property (Attachment 2). In 2016, a plumbing leak flooded the entire building space of the Property, causing extensive damage. As a result of the damage, and no further need of the services - the building was vacated. In May 9, 2017, the Board declared the Property Surplus (Attachment 3). In August 31, 2018, the Board adopted a Resolution of Intent to Sale with authorization to advertise for proposals of purchase (Attachment 4). In September 25, 2018, the Board held a public meeting to open proposals to purchase (Attachment 5). In October 2, 2018, the Board accepted a proposal of purchase and adopted a Resolution of Acceptance for the sale of the Property to the new owner (Attachment 6). The sale of the Property formerly eliminated any need for parking. Staff is requesting approval to exercise the 30 day notice to terminate the parking lease, effective January 1, 2019.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The monthly parking lease rent amount of $200 was 100% revenue offset and did not impact the General Fund.
This item conforms to the Board of Supervisors’ Core Role of providing for and maintaining infrastructure and streamlining the inventory of county properties through repurposing or sale.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Public Works
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could choose not to terminate the parking lease, but is not recommended because the county would continue to pay $200 a month to the landlord without any return.
