7 <br /> 1 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to <br /> 2 close the public hearing and to approve a resolution, with edits, authorizing a lease agreement <br /> 3 with Senior Care of Orange County, Inc. ("SC of OC") and authorize the Chair to sign. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 6 <br /> 7 b. Lease of the County-owned Building at 500 Valley Forge Road to the <br /> 8 Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center, Inc. <br /> 9 The Board conducted a statutorily required public hearing and considered a lease <br /> 10 agreement with the Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center, Inc. regarding the <br /> 11 occupation and lease of the building at 500 Valley Forge Road, Hillsborough and authorized the <br /> 12 Vice-Chair to execute the agreement. <br /> 13 John Roberts said the purpose of this lease is to get this non-profit at arms' length from <br /> 14 the county. He said there is a Board of Directors in place, as well as an agreement with the <br /> 15 county for financial services and this is that last piece of the puzzle. He said the County <br /> 16 established the by-laws of this organization, and if this non-profit was to dissolve then it will go <br /> 17 to a similarly situated non-profit or back to the county. He said this is a one year lease where <br /> 18 the rate escalates after the first year and there are options for renewal. <br /> 19 Chair Jacobs asked if it was a condition of participation of this 4 county agreement that <br /> 20 a non-profit would be spun off. <br /> 21 Frank Clifton said the terms of the lease are somewhat different over time and this is not <br /> 22 just for Orange County based businesses but will serve the four counties surrounding it. <br /> 23 Chair Jacobs recognized Matthew Roybal, the Manager of PFAP, who thanked the <br /> 24 Board of County Commissioners for their support. <br /> 25 Commissioner Dorosin compared this lease to the prior lease for the senior center and <br /> 26 said it is in a slightly more nascent stage with references to getting insurance, among other <br /> 27 things. <br /> 28 John Roberts said PFAP has provided proof of insurance and they are still waiting on <br /> 29 the actual policy. <br /> 30 Commissioner Gordon referenced section 18 and noted the same edits as in the <br /> 31 previous lease. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 <br /> 34 NO PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> 35 <br /> 36 A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Rich to <br /> 37 close the public hearing, to enter into a lease agreement with suggested changes on Section <br /> 38 18, with the Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center, Inc. regarding the occupation <br /> 39 and lease of the building at 500 Valley Forge Road, Hillsborough and authorize the Vice-Chair <br /> 40 to execute the agreement. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 43 <br /> 44 c.
