Title
Chief Administrative Office, Facilities Division, recommending the Board authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to enter into negotiations with the owner(s) Carlton Comm Prop CA LLC, or their designated representative, regarding the property located at 3883 Ponderosa Road (APN: 070-270-031-000, Shingle Springs).
FUNDING: Capital Reserve and State funding.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Currently the County leases space at this property for the Department of Child Support Services. The Department of Child Support Services has been very happy with this space but program changes over the past several years has led to a downsizing of the department and the need for less space. The County is looking at options to bring another County department, possibly the Elections department, into the space to share space with Child Support Services. There is a long term financial benefit to purchasing this building versus continuing to lease space. The building is in excellent shape, centrally located within the Western Slope of the County, easy accessible from Highway 50 and has adequate parking for County services.
While the initial purchase would need to be funded with General Fund dollars currently set aside in the Capital Reserve, the Department of Child Support does have State funding available to pay "rent" which will partially replenish the Capital Reserve over time.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could direct the County not to pursue the purchase of the building and Child Support would continue to pay rent.
