Agenda 07/11/2017 Item #16F107/11/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the Sherriff's Office vacation of tenancy at the Carnestown Substation
and to approve a Lease Agreement with Patriot Place Trust for space to be utilized by the Sheriff’s
Office for its District 5 Substation.
OBJECTIVE: To secure office space for the Sheriff’s Office District 5 Substation.
CONSIDERATIONS: Since 1988, the Sheriff’s Office has occupied a building that was constructed by
the State at the intersection of U.S. 41 and S.R. 29, known as the Carnestown Substation. The original
owner of the property was the Collier family, but in 1996 the property was later deeded to the United
States Department of the Interior National Park Services (NPS). The fifty-year lease expired in 2015;
however, for the past two years, the NPS has provided Collier County with annual Permits to extend the
term. A Permit was not issued for 2016/2017 and, therefore, the County is occupying the Carnestown
Substation on a month-to-month basis.
The NPS is requesting the County enter into a long-term lease and to make considerable alterations to the
building including, but not limited to, removing the above -ground fuel tanks, replacing plate glass
windows in the lobby, repairing the septic system, and upgrading the electrical sys tem in addition to
paying an annual rent, which the County has paid $10.00 annually in the past. The NPS would require
the County to make all necessary repairs to the building at the County’s sole expense and would credit
those repairs against the rent.
In light of the aforementioned developments pertaining to entering into a lease for the existing location,
and taking into consideration the population growth over the past several years along the Collier
Boulevard and U.S. 41 corridor, the Sheriff’s Office has determined that it would better serve the
community by establishing a substation within this corridor for a more efficient use of manpower
coverage.
The Sheriff’s Office and Real Property Management staff explored sites along Collier Boulevard and U.S.
41 and found one at Manatee School, which would require funds in excess of $350,000 to grade the
property, lime rock and stone the parking area, hook-up utilities, and place a trailer on the site. The
second location is a never-before-occupied warehouse/office space located to the east of Collier
Boulevard on U.S. 41 at 13245 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 100, whereby the landlord is agreeable to make
all interior improvements according to the Sheriff’s specifications and at no cost to the County. The
location seems most appropriate for the Sheriff’s Office use because of the swift access to both main
arteries to serve the ever-growing population in that area. This location would temporarily satisfy the
Sheriff’s Office needs until such time that a permanent location could be developed.
The initial lease term would be for three years with three automatic one -year renewals. The annual rent
for the first year will be $31,200.00 with the rent increased by 3 percent each year following the first year
of occupancy. The common area maintenance charges (CAM) are $98.00 per month for the first year of
occupancy and will also increase by 3 percent annually. The County will be responsible for all costs
associated with electricity, communications, interior janitorial, air-conditioning maintenance, repairs,
system replacement, and filters, as is customary in commercial leases. The landlord will pay for monthly
water and sewer charges, but if water usage exceeds $300.00 per month, the County will be invoiced for
any overage. The Lease provides for the County to terminate the Lease after the initial lease term by
providing the landlord with a 180-day termination notice.
The NPS states that once the County vacates the leased property, the building will not be leased to any
07/11/2017
other party and the building will be demolished. The NPS has advised that pursuant to the terms of the
Permit, the County is required to demolish the subject building at its expense. However, that requirement
is not set forth in the Permit. Staff has asked the NPS to provide its legal support. Depending on the
information provided, staff may return with an item advising of the requirement to demolish the building
and approval for the expenditure of those funds. Staff estimates demolition costs to be $50,000.
Taking into consideration the age of the building, and the requirement for the County to make the repairs
at its expense at the direction of NPS, as well as the Sheriff’s Office determination that this location is
obsolete for its operation, it would behoove the County to no longer invest in a non-County owned
property that needs constant repairs, and move to a temporary leased space until such time that a
permanent location can be acquired for the District 5 Substation. Immediate repairs at the current
Substation are estimated between $38,000 and $43,000.
If this item is approved, staff will timely notify NPS of the County’s intent to vacate the Carnestown
Substation.
FISCAL IMPACT: The first year’s rent of $31,200.00 to be paid in equal monthly installments of
$2,600.00, and the monthly CAM of $98.00, as well as all subsequent annual rent and CAM, will be
withdrawn from the General Fund (001), BCC for Sheriff (106010), Rent Building (644100).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board action. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve vacating the Carnestown Substation, and approve and authorize
the Chairman to execute the Lease Agreement with Patriot Place Trust.
