Body
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND:
On September 15, 2015 (Legistar File 15-0946) the Board approved Joint Use Agreement (JUA) 303-O1511 (FENIX 8736) for the CSD’s use of county-owned space at 990 Lassen Way, El Dorado Hills. On the same day (Legistar File 15-0947) the Board approved Facilities Use Agreement (FUA) #527-O1511 for the County’s use of Cornerstone Church’s parking lot as overflow parking for the Senior Center.
In 2018, Cornerstone Church merged with the entity Vintage Grace Church. On June 5, 2018 (Legistar File 18-0846) the Board authorized the termination of FUA #527-O1511 and authorized a new FUA (#203-0180) for use of the parking lot under the name Vintage Grace Church.
On April 16, 2018, the CSD exercised its first Option to Extend JUA 303-O1511 (FENIX 8736) for an additional three-year term beginning July 1, 2018 and expiring June 30, 2021.
On June 8, 2020, the Board approved JUA 303-O1511 (FENIX 8736) Amendment I, temporarily modifying property use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On October 12, 2020, the Board approved JUA 303-O1511 (FENIX 8736) Amendment II, suspending the CSD’s responsibility to pay their portion of utility and maintenance costs while the El Dorado County Office of Education leased 990 Lassen Ln, El Dorado Hills.
On May 24, 2021, the CSD exercised its second Option to Extend JUA 303-O1511 (FENIX 8736) for an additional three-year term beginning July 1, 2021 and expiring June 30, 2024.
Amendment III would renew the JUA for an additional year through June 30, 2025. It would also allow for minor updates to Subsections 1B, 1E, 2B, 2F, and 3A of ARTICLE I, Property Use, removing alarm training and key cards, and updating the name from Cornerstone Church to Vintage Grace Church in reference to the Senior Center's overflow parking agreement.
Under Government Code Section 25526.6, the County may authorize use of County-owned property by the CSD. It is also in the public’s interest that the facility be cooperatively and jointly used as a Senior Center by the County and CSD to maximize the benefit to seniors residing in that area of the County.
This JUA formalizes CSD’s use of the facility as a place to provide senior recreation activities and establishes the methodology for CSD to pay their share of cost for the facility. Based on CSD’s use of the facility, this JUA defines the CSD’s pro rata share (52.13%) of a fixed monthly amount of $800 to cover the costs of all repairs, maintenance, replacements, renovations, capital improvements, other building costs, and landscaping; 52.13% of the facility’s third party costs (security alarm, fire alarm and suppression systems, utilities, refuse disposal, and janitorial services); and 100% of special projects requested by the CSD of the County (e.g., installation of a flat screen television). CSD's share of third-party actual costs and the fixed monthly repair costs are estimated to total $30,000 for this one year.
Appropriately allocating cost to the CSD based on facility use mitigates some cost of programs provided to seniors under Title III of the Older Americans Act.
ALTERNATIVES:
Disapproval of the Amendment would result in the County not continuing to receive funds for the space utilized by the CSD at 990 Lassen Ln, El Dorado Hills after June 30, 2024.
