ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: April 13, 2004 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 5-~ <br />SUBJECT: Lease Renewal -Bradshaw Quarry Road Solid Waste Convenience Center <br />DEPARTMENT: Public Works PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Lease Renewal Agreement <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Wilbert McAdoo, ext, 2625 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider the renewal of the lease for the Solid Waste Convenience Center <br />located on Bradshaw Quarry, Road, <br />BACKGROUND: The Bradshaw Quarry Road Solid Waste Convenience Center site is located <br />on a one-acre parcel owned by Dr, James C. Thompson and Betty A, Thompson. The initial <br />lease agreement was executed in 1989, with renewals every, five years. Since 1999, the <br />County has leased this property for $2,400 per year ($200 per month).. <br />The County's approach to collecting solid waste in unincorporated Orange County at six staffed <br />Solid Waste Convenience Centers will continue for the near future. Therefore, staff <br />recommends the continuation of a five-year lease renewal period for this convenience center <br />site, In the event that an alternative manner of solid waste collection is identified before the end <br />of the lease period, the lease agreement includes a clause that permits either party to terminate <br />the lease with 90 days notice. The property owner has agreed upon a lease renewal cost of <br />$3,600 per year ($300 per month), a $1,200 annual increase. The lease amount is comparable <br />to the other solid waste convenience centers' lease terms, which vary somewhat depending on <br />site size, lease renewal date, etc, <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The monthly rent would be increased by $100 for the five-year renewal <br />term, If the BOCC approves the lease renewal, funding for the required lease payments will be <br />incorporated into the Public Works Department's FY 2004-2005 operating budget, <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the lease <br />renewal for the period of July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2009 at a cost of $300 per month, and <br />authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board. <br />
