BACKGROUND: The Bradshaw Quarry Road Solid Waste Convenience Center site is located on a one-acre parcel awned by Dr, James C, Thompson and Betty A. Thompson. The initial lease agreement was executed in 1989, with renewals every five years, Since 1999, the County has leased this property for $2,400 per year ($200 per month). The County's approach to collecting solid waste in unincorporated Orange County at six staffed Solid Waste Convenience Centers will continue for the near future (two of these sites are on County-owned property, and four are leased sites), Therefore, staff recommends the continuation of a five-year lease renewal period for this convenience center site, In the event that an alternative manner of solid waste collection is identified before the end of the lease period, the lease agreement includes a clause that permits either party to terminate the lease with 90 days notice, The property owner has agreed upon a lease renewal cost of $3,600 per year ($300 per month), a $1,200 annual increase, The lease amount is comparable to the other solid waste convenience centers' lease terms, which vary somewhat depending on site size, lease renewal date, etc. For example, the most recent convenience center lease renewal approved by the BOCC took effect for the one-acre Walnut Grave Church Road site on July 1, 2003, fora 5-year renewal period at $300 per month. A table reflecting data about all four leased convenience center sites is attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The monthly rent would be increased by $100 for the five-year renewal term, If the BOCC approves the lease renewal, funding for the required lease payments will be incorporated into the Public Works Department's FY 2004-2005 operating budget.
