A LEASE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT between the City of Loyalton and the County of Sierra for 105 Beckwith Street, Loyalton, CA was discussed during the Board of Supervisors’ meeting held Tuesday, November 1st in Downieville.
On August 16th the Board appointed an Ad Hoc committee to investigate expanding the lease at the Loyalton Social Hall for office space for the Information Systems Department. Board Chair Paul Roen reported they met with the City and they were willing to lease the rest of the building. Roen wanted to make sure it was a lease/purchase option. Probation Chief Chuck Henson whose department is housed in half of the building cited a couple issues with the agreement and wanted to make sure the City still does snow removal and maintains the grounds. Probation currently pays $900/month and will pay $1,700 for the whole building. $800 will come out of IT’s budget. With this agreement the County will have exclusive use of the building and would be able to upgrade connectivity. By consensus this item will be brought back for approval at the next meeting on November 15th in Loyalton.
