RECOMMENDATION

Approve a Real Property License Agreement with County of Shasta, Judicial Council of California, Administrative Office of the Courts to pay Shasta County $5,854.80 per month plus a portion of utility expenses for approximately 4,920 square feet of office space ($1.19/square foot) and approximately 21 workstations located at 2600 Park Marina Drive, Redding, for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

DISCUSSION

The Court began licensing a portion of the property located at 2600 Park Marina Drive, Redding, California, on July 10, 2015, due to the breakdown of the HVAC in the Collections Unit’s space of the Courthouse. Due to the pending construction of the new Redding Courthouse, the Court finds it necessary to continue occupancy of the premises.

 

On June 19, 2018, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2018-044 , which found that licensing to the Court a portion of the property located at 2600 Park Marina Drive, Redding, California, is in the public interest; and found that conveyance of the license to the Court will not substantially conflict or interfere with the County’s use of the property; and ratified the County Executive Officer’s execution of a license agreement with the Court to pay County $6,691.20 per month for approximately 4,920 square feet of office space ($1.36/square foot) at 2600 Park Marina Drive, Redding, California for the period July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, with a 2 percent annual increase through June 30, 2021. The current license at $1.36/square foot included costs for maintenance of structure, household supplies, and utilities.

 

With the proposed License Agreement, the County reduces the monthly lease cost to $5,852.80 ($1.19/square foot, in line with the Building lease) with a 2 percent annual increase should the Court extend the license on a month-to-month basis after June 30, 2021. Maintenance of structure, janitorial/household supplies, infrastructure charges; and utilities are not included in the cost per square foot and will be billed directly to the courts on a monthly basis.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board could choose not to approve the license agreement. This is not recommended as the Court is currently occupying the space and needs to remain pending construction of the new Redding Courthouse.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

County Counsel has approved the license as to form. Risk Management has reviewed approved the license. The license and recommendation have been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

FISCAL IMPACT

Department of Child Support Services receives no General Fund and is solely state and federally funded. There is no General Fund impact.
