ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: May 15, 2012 Action Agenda Item No. _-_~j -~ SUBJECT: Re-negotiated Lease - High Rock Road Solid Waste Convenience Center DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste Management PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): Lease Agreement Map of Leased Property INFORMATION CONTACT: Gayle Wilson, 968-2885 Michael Talbert, 245-2308 PURPOSE: To consider the approval of the re-negotiated lease for the Solid Waste Convenience Center (SWCC) located on High Rock Road. BACKGROUND: The High Rock Road Solid Waste Convenience Center site is located on ten acres owned by Elizabeth Walters and is part of a much larger parcel. The initial lease agreement was most recently executed in 2000, with automatic renewals every five years and annual escalated lease payments increased based on the Consumer Price Index. The present lease payment cost is $294.16 per month. The site has been leased from Ms. Walters since 1992. Consistent with recommendations by the Solid Waste Planning Work Group and County Staff convenience center modernization concept recommendations, the Manager is proposing funding improvements to High Rock Road SWCC in the Fiscal Year 2012/13 budget. Walnut Grove Church Road SWCC is currently authorized for improvements with construction slated to begin in June 2012. In considering making investments in the High Rock Road site, the Manager desired assurances that the County had secured a longer term agreement with the property owner in order to protect and maximize County investments, if the BOCC approves proceeding with these improvements. If the High Rock Road project is approved by the BOCC, it is anticipated that construction would begin in the spring or summer of 2013. The "new" terms in the agreement include, but are not limited to: Terms and Termination.
