DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
CTESOA, a Joint Powers Authority, is the County's ambulance operations contractor for the South Shore area within the Tahoe Basin. CTESOA has been occupying the facility at 3066 Lake Tahoe Boulevard through a sublease with the City of South Lake Tahoe (City) since September 1, 2021. At that time, the City held a lease for that property as part of the land commonly known as the "56-Acre Property" in the central area of the City of South Lake Tahoe. The City and the County have since renegotiated their relationship regarding the property and the facility occupied by CTESOA is not included in the new agreement between the City and County, making it necessary for the County to lease the property directly to CTESOA.
CTESOA began renovations on the facility under its sublease with the City, and those renovations will continue under the new lease with the County.
The term of the agreement is effective upon execution through August 31, 2031, with an option for a five-year extension, and annual compensation is $1. CTESOA is responsible for all building maintenance and utility costs.
ALTERNATIVES
If the Board does not approve the lease agreement CTESOA will not have an ambulance operations base.
