FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The total revenue for Amendment No. 1 (Amendment) to Revenue Lease Agreement No. 98-696 (Lease) is $30,019, including one dollar per month for the permitted holdover period of one-year and six-months, totaling $19. Revenue received from this Lease will be deposited into the Regional Parks’ (Parks) General Fund budget (6520001000).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The recommended action will amend the existing Lease for land located at Yucaipa Regional Park (Yucaipa Park), 34240 Oak Glen Road in Yucaipa. Parks requested that the Real Estate Services Department (RESD) prepare the Amendment to exercise a 25-year option to extend the term, following a permitted one-year and six-month holdover due to protracted lease negotiations with the tenant. Parks was able to negotiate an annual rate of $1,200 for the 25-year term for a total amount of $30,000. Yucaipa Valley Youth Soccer Organization (YVYSO) agreed to provide ongoing maintenance to the fields along with improvements to the soccer field over the term, including replacing the turf for the fields, installing a fence around the fields, create a new soccer field, upgrade irrigation systems, upgrade the lighting to LED, install access roads and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking, and provide ongoing maintenance and repair to the soccer complex.
On August 11, 1998, (Item No. 62) the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a 25-year Lease including one 25-year option to extend the term with YVYSO to construct, operate, and maintain the Yucaipa Valley Regional Soccer Complex (Soccer Complex) within a portion of the County-owned Yucaipa Park for a total revenue of $300.
The Soccer Complex is a cooperative effort between the County and YVYSO to provide non-profit youth sports organizations to the public. The Soccer Complex has been used for recreational, regional and statewide tournaments, scouting jamborees, and community activities. All improvements to the Soccer Complex shall become property of the County upon termination of the Lease. YVYSO will be responsible for furnishing all labor, services, materials, supplies, and equipment necessary to maintain the premises in a clean, orderly, and inviting condition. YVYSO agrees to pay utility charges, such as, but not limited to, electric, gas, and telephone. Government Code Section 25536 allows the Board, by a four-fifths vote, to lease County-owned property devoted to or held for ultimate use for park, fairground, amusement or recreation purposes.
The project to approve the Amendment was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 - Existing Facilities (Class I) because there is no possibility that the leasing of the subject property will have a significant effect on the environment.
