RESOLUTION NO. _____ - 2017

AUTHORIZING TO CONTRACT WITH APPROVING THE RENEWAL OF THE LEASED OFFICE SPACE TO THE STATE OF WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES

Fiscal Impact: [ ] None [X] Budgeted Expenditure [ ] Not Budgeted] 

Background: Sauk County has leased space to the Department of Natural Resources since the construction of the West Square Administration building in 1995. Changes at the State level at the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), specifically the Forestry Division, have resulted in the DNR requesting to not extend the lease for another two year term, but rather, to renew their leased space for a six month period through July 2018.

           WHEREAS, County Staff has reviewed the lease submitted by the respective government agency and the Property and Insurance Committee does believe that extending the lease at lease rates that reflect increased costs to the county, for the six month term, is in the best interest of Sauk County.

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors, met in regular session, hereby authorizes the lease for office space in the Sauk County West Square Administration Building with the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources be extended upon the terms and conditions deemed acceptable by the Property and Insurance Committee, and that the County Clerk is authorized to sign the lease on behalf of Sauk County; and,.

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on December 19, 2017.

Respectfully submitted,

PROPERTY & INSURANCE COMMITTEE
