Title
Sheriff’s Office recommending the Board authorize the Chair to sign month-to-month Lease Agreement 7369 with the City of South Lake Tahoe Airport for the lease of Hangar space used by the Search and Rescue division, in the amount of $1,028.16 per month retroactive to January 1, 2023.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
El Dorado County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue division has been leasing hangar space at the South Lake Tahoe Airport since July 2017 for the storage of search and rescue equipment. This lease allows for the safe and secure storage of equipment critical to Search and Rescue which had been previously stored outdoors thereby subjecting the equipment to weather degradation and potential theft. This site also allows for 24 hour, 365 day access as the airport maintains snow removal in the winter and access to the hangars are keycard protected, adding another layer of security to mission critical equipment.
In October 2022, the City of South Lake Tahoe approved the new rates and El Dorado Sheriff's Office staff were informed by the City of South Lake Tahoe on December 20, 2022, that, because of a new airport study, the monthly rent would be increasing from $514 per month to $1,028.16 per month effective January 1, 2023. However, this did not allow sufficient time for processing the Lease and ensuring all appropriate departments were contacted for review. We are, therefore, bringing this before your Board for approval due to the retroactive nature of the item.
