Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
There is no Net County Cost associated with this Agenda item. Sufficient appropriations are included in the HHSA Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15 Budget and will be included in future County Budget requests for the term of the Agreement.
Background
The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) formerly, in part, operating as the Department of Human Services (DHS) leased office space located at 971 and 981 Silver Dollar Lane in South Lake Tahoe from 1985 to 2009. In 2009 DHS had to reduce its budget and moved into the El Dorado Center, a County-owned facility located at 3368 Lake Tahoe Boulevard. The addition of HHSA employees and clients at the El Dorado Center resulted in a shortage of parking spaces at the facility.
To alleviate this problem, the Board approved perpetual Lease 348-L1111 for thirty-four (34) parking spaces with Russell M. Hitomi, Trustee of the Russell M. Hitomi Revocable Family Trust (Hitomi), on March 29, 2011. Hitomi terminated Lease 348-L1111 effective February 28, 2014 resulting in the loss of the thirty-four (34) parking spaces, resulting in insufficient parking for staff and clients at the El Dorado Center building.
In order to partially address the loss of parking spaces, on August 18, 2014, the Facilities Division provided HHSA with Lease 575-L1411 with Ernest Fortino and Marie Fortino, Trustees or Successors of the 1994 Ernest Fortino and Marie Fortino Revocable Trust (Fortino), for ten (10) parking spaces located at 1029 Takela in South Lake Tahoe, at a rate of $35/space per month. The parking spaces will be assigned to HHSA staff located at the El Dorado Center freeing up spaces for clients who visit the El Dorado Center building.
Reason for Recommendation
Approval of the Fortino Lease 575-L1411 will replace ten (10) of the thirty-four (34) parking spaces lost when the Hitomi Lease 348-L1111 was terminated.
Disapproval of Lease 575-L1411 will result in continued parking challenges for staff and clients.
Clerk of the Board Follow Up Actions
1. Clerk of the Board to obtain the Chair's signature on each Lease 575-L1411.
2. Clerk of the Board to return one (1) fully executed Lease 575-L1411 to the HHSA Contracts Unit at 3057 Briw Road, Suite A.
