Title
Joint Resolution authorizing a contract between Lake County and its Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) and the Wauconda Fire Department, Inc in the amount not to exceed $27,000 to lease office space for the daily operations of the ETSB and its staff.
Staff Summary
• The ETSB is unable to continue to occupy their current space in the Wauconda Police Department and needs to contract for new office space for their equipment and staff members.
• This Resolution authorizes a five (5) year lease (with two (2), five-year extensions) for 1,000 square feet in the Wauconda Fire Department building.
• The County is authorized to lease real property for a public use for up to twenty years and the ETSB is authorized to use its surcharge funds for construction on facilities.
• In exchange for use of the space, including the initial term and any extensions, the County, using ETSB funds, will reimburse Wauconda Fire Department’s costs to remodel the space to accommodate the ETSB’s need for office space including plumbing, electrical and storage considerations.
• Cost of the remodeling will not exceed $27,000 and will be overseen by the Wauconda Fire Department according to drawings attached to Lease Agreement.
• The remodeling contract will be competitively bid and adhere to any and all state, federal and local laws, regulations and ordinances.
• Wauconda Police Department needs to use the space, currently occupied by the ETSB, for its Police Investigations Unit as soon as possible and the remodeling of the ETSB’s new space will require several weeks; therefore approval of this Lease is critical.
