CONSENT AGENDA
1. CONSIDER / DISCUSS A NEW LEASE OF TRACTS 17 AND 17(A) AT THE HARBOR
OF REFUGE, FOLLOWING EXPIRATION OF THE CURRENT LEASE ON DECEMBER
31, 2021.
Encore is offering to pay the same $5,000/mo (for a slightly smaller footprint) and will improve the existing
road with side swales to drain and crush concrete to be constructed by Philip Gonzales for $50,000 and then
build a 100' x 300' rock pad for a cost of about $50,000 AND keep the site clean. They would like to have a
5-year lease but would need a minimum 2 years in order to make this $100,000 investment. I mentioned that
the $5,000/month rate was effective Jan 2020, so the rate may need to be adjusted considering the MCI since
that time.
Motion to authorize Jody Weaver with the task of performing an environmental and legal certification survey
for Tract 17 and 17(A) as of December 31, 2021.
Motion was made by Commissioner Mike McGuire, and Commissioner Jamie O’Neil.
Motion Carries.
Motion to accept a two (2) year lease from January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2023 to Encore for Tract 17 and
17(a) with an MCI between 2% and 5% on 10/1/2022.
