ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to approve the attached lease agreement with the California Department of General Services - Real Estate Services Division regarding the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration’s continued use of Room 130 at 825 Fifth Street in Eureka, California. However, this alternative is not recommended as public service by the State would have to provided elsewhere and would not be in proximately to the County Treasurer - Tax Collector, which benefits both departments.
