CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator U
//t 7/7
FROM: Mark McCauley, Central Services Director �°
DATE: July 1, 2019
SUBJECT: Request for Board of County Commissioners approval to issue a Request for
Proposals to lease county property located at 3000 Clearwater Road
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Jefferson County was asked by Quigg Bros., Inc., a construction
company based out of Aberdeen, Washington to lease a portion of the county property located at
3000 Clearwater Road in Forks, Washington. Quigg Bros., Inc. have been contracted by the
Washington State Department of Transportation to complete a construction project on state road.
The site is conveniently located and will facilitate Quigg's completion of the project. WSDOT
project managers will also use the site at Quigg's convenience.
ANALYSIS: We are amenable to leasing a portion of the property. County use of the
Clearwater Annex has been substantially reduced in recent years. The county has a shop on the
property that is not part of this lease. We will continue to have access to the site to conduct any
required county business.
RCW 36.34.160 governs the leasing of county property. Prior to leasing county property, the
county must give notice of its intention to make such lease by publishing a notice in a legal
newspaper at least once a week for the term of three weeks. The notice shall announce the day
and hour that the Board of County Commissioners will meet to consider entering into a lease.
A public hearing notice announcing the county's intent to lease the property is attached.
Should the hearing notice be approved a Request for Proposals will be published encouraging
interested parties to submit proposals.
FISCAL IMPACT: This request, in and of itself, has no fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached public
hearing notice announcing its intent to lease certain county property.
