Freeland. The initial lease agreement was executed in <br />19$6, with renewals every five years. Since 1996, the County has leased this properky for <br />$1,800 per year ($150 per month). <br />The County's approach to collecting solid waste in unincorporated Orange County at six <br />staffed Solid Waste Convenience Centers will continue for the foreseeable future. Therefore, <br />staff recommends the continuation of a five-year lease renewal period for this convenience <br />center site. In the event that an alternative manner of solid waste collection is identified <br />before the end of the lease period, the lease agreement includes a clause that permits either <br />party to terminate the lease with 90 days notice. <br />County staff have periodically inquired as to whether the property owner would be willing to <br />sell the site. The property owner has indicated again in March 2001 that she does not wish <br />to sell the property. However, she is willing to sign a lease renewal at a cost to the County of <br />$ 3,000 per year ($250 per month). <br />
