The Victim Witness Unit of the District Attorney's Office has been located at 712 4th Street, Eureka, California, since 1999. The current lease amendment, Second Amendment, will expire on July 31, 2019. The Second Amendment does provide for two (2) one (1) year option terms. However, this program is scheduled to move to the courthouse fifth floor in early 2020 as part of the Fifth Floor Remodel project.
The program made a request to the owners to enter into a month-to-month holdover, effective August 1, 2019, between the end of the lease and the move to the Courthouse. The owners of 712 Fourth Street will accommodate the county's request to enter a holdover period. However, the owner requested the county to assume responsibility of janitorial services, which costs approximately Four Hundred Dollars ($400) per month. Currently, janitorial services are the owner's responsibility.
