ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: May 20, 2003 Action Agenda Item No. ~_ SUBJECT: Lease Renewal -Walnut Grove Solid Waste Convenience Center DEPARTMENT: Public Works-Sanitation ATTACHMENT(S): Lease Renewal Agreement PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No INFORMATION CONTACT: Wilbert McAdoo, ext. 2625 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough Chapel Hill Durham Mebane 732-8181 968-4501 688-7331 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To consider the renewal of the lease for the Solid Waste Convenience Center located on Walnut Grove Church Road. BACKGROUND: The Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste Convenience Center site is located on a one-acre parcel owned by John Thomas Walker and Martha Latta Walker. The initial lease agreement was executed in 1987, with renewals every five years. Since 1998, 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. 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). FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Lease Renee-gal includes a rent increase of $100 per month {from $200 to $300} for the five-year renewal term. This represents an additional $6,000 in rental costs over the full five-year term. The founds necessary to cover the annual lease payments would be included in the each fiscal year's departmental budget ~~equest. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the lease renewal for the period of July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2008 at a cost of $300 per month and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board.
