BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator e.i .
FROM: Mark McCauley, Central Suc'es rector
DATE: July 22,2019
SUBJECT: Public Hearing regarding leasing county property located at 3000 Clearwater
Road, Forks,Washington 98331
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 one or more construction projects on state roads. 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.
Today's hearing is for the Board of Commissioners to consider leasing the property after hearing
a staff presentation and taking public testimony.
Should the Board approve leasing the property a lease will be brought to the Board for
consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This request, in and of itself, has no fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of County Commissioners approve leasing a portion of the property located at
3000 Clearwater Road, Forks, Washington, 98331.
