Memorandum
Date: May 14th, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Elise Jones, Director Behavioral Health Services
Subject: Consideration of Lease Agreement Between the County of Lake and Charlie Sawyer, Nancy Sawyer, Trustees of the Charles A. Sawyer and Nancy J. Sawyer Trust in the amount of $12,171 per month for Five Years.
Executive Summary:
Lake County Behavioral Health Services, in partnership with the Lake County Probation Department, secured funding through AB 109 to expand services for justice-involved individuals. To that end, a lease for the office space at 9055 High 53 in Lower Lake has been negotiated. This space would be occupied jointly by Probation and Behavioral Health staff, with some shared and some separate spaces. This will enable us to more effectively and cohesively serve this population.
The lease is paid for entirely through AB 109 funding for the first year. Following that, Medi-Cal revenue and realignment funding can provide sustainability. It may also be possible to secure additional AB 109 funding to support the continuation of this work.
This lease has been reviewed and approved by the County Space Committee. Significantly, we negotiated the lease to ensure repair and replacement of major building systems is the responsibility of the property owner.
