Title
Ordinance authorizing a restated and amended land lease agreement with the Grandwood Park Park District.
Staff Summary
* The County and the Grandwood Park Park District executed a lease agreement in June 2005, which authorized the Park District to utilize property at the County's Grandwood Park water facility, located at the southwest corner of Hutchins Road and Grandwood Drive.
* In 2010, the agreement was amended to include additional terms and conditions, including use of the entire premises for recreational purposes. The Park District pays for landscape responsibilities of the leased property and pays the County $2,000 per year.
* The County and the District are proposing to amend the lease agreement to include an additional parcel owned by the County at West Geier Road and North Beverly Avenue for recreational purposes.
* Public Works does not have a use for the land over the next twenty years but may need the property for system expansion at an undefined later date.
* The lease period is for 20 years. The County can terminate the lease with 180 days' notice during the first five years and can terminate with 90 days' notice after the five-year period.
* There is no maintenance cost to Lake County. The District shall be responsible for the landscape services of the leased property and for relocating an existing fence to separate the leased from the non-lease property.
* The approval of a lease agreement for County property requires a minimum of three-quarters approval (16 votes) by the full County Board.
* This initiative is in alignment with the Board's shared services strategy of working collaboratively with our local partners.
* This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Works to execute the Restated and Amended Land Lease Agreement.
