6.1.A. - Page 2 Consequently, the Sheriff's Office approached City staff about leasing the portion of the Cemex site not planned for occupancy by BIAC. The proposed License Agreement is attached to this report. The Sheriff's Office and its consultants and contractors propose to use the City's property for storage and staging purposes, including vehicle parking and storage of building supplies, ducts, piping, fittings, bulldozer, loader, scrapers, compaction equipment, backhoes, and excavators for the three years of the planned project. For such use, the Sheriff's Office anticipates installing temporary and non- permanently attached job site trailers, storage containers, portable restroom facilities, other miscellaneous portable structures. The License Agreement also authorizes the City Manager to extend the term of the Agreement for up to an additional three years, should the need arise. The Sheriff's Office requested that the fee for this use be $1.00 per year; this is the amount recommended by staff and included in the License Agreement. The use of the City's property for the proposed use benefits the public in a number of ways. First, it expedites the construction of the County's new jail facility, thereby saving public funds and enabling a better public facility to be built. Second, the positive use of the City's property for the next three years helps activate the City's waterfront and could provide additional incentive for the cleanup and development of the Docktown area by exposing a greater population to recreational and development opportunities along the Bay. Third, through the License Agreement the City is also granted participation in the design development of the Jail Project so as to assure the project interfaces and integrates into the City's vision of development for the greater pocktown Area. ALTERNATIVES The City Council could choose to not allow San Mateo County use of the property. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the City with this License Agreement. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW As the lead agency, the City of Redwood City has determined that the License Agreement meets the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption criteria as set forth in Section 15303, ("New Construction of Small Structures"), as the Agreement contemplates the installation and storage of limited numbers of small structures and facilities, and placement of small equipment.
