FROM: Mark McCauley, Central Services irector

SUBJECT: Request for Board of County Commissioners approval a public hearing notice
and authorize the issuance of a Request for Proposals to lease office space at
the Brinnon Community Center located at 306144 Hwy 101, Brinnon,
Washington 98320
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Jefferson County was asked by Christina Maloney to lease vacant office
space at the Brinnon Community Center. Ms. Maloney has a business known as Hood Canal Adventures.
She would like to base her business at the community center.
ANALYSIS: The Brinnon Community Center has two vacant spaces, one on the north end of the center
and one on the south end. The space on the north end, approximately 544 square feet, used to be the
management office for the Bayshore Motel,which has permanently closed. The space has been gutted and
will require substantial investment to be usable. The space on the south end, approximately 561 square
feet, has been used occasionally as a health clinic, but is now available. This space is clean and ready for
immediate occupancy. We are amenable to leasing either vacant space.
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 CountyCommissioners approve the attached public hearing
notice announcing its intent to lease certain county property.
