Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office State Asset Forfeiture Trust (3642)
DISCUSSION:
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) has been providing its deputies and correctional staff with facility space at the College of the Redwoods to meet their statutorily required perishable skills training. The College of the Redwoods recently stated that they will not allow unvaccinated individuals to use their facilities, making it necessary for the Sheriff’s Office to find an alternative facility to perform their training. Without a local facility, deputies and correctional staff would need to travel out of Humboldt County for this training requirement.
RMI Outdoors at 1240 Broadway Street in Eureka has a facility that can accommodate the needs of the deputies and correctional staff to meet their skills training. A Commercial Lease has been prepared by Landlord to allow the use of this facility for the training (Attached).
Staff is requesting that the Board approve and execute the Commercial Lease.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Exclusive use and storage of training equipment within the facility with associated parking will require rent payments in the amount $1,700 per month, with annual 3% increases. The total rent amount for the five (5) year term of the lease will be $108,306.48.
Funds to cover the cost of this lease will come from HCSO’s State Asset Forfeiture Trust (3642) and will be included in the final budget adoption in September. There is no impact to the general fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Public Works
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to approve the Commercial Lease; however, this is not recommended as the costs to transport and house non-vaccinated Sheriff deputies and correctional staff outside of Humboldt County to accomplish their required training will add costs to the budget and create man power down time.
