BACKGROUND
The North Carolina Forest Service Agency currently occupies a County building at 1305 Fire Ranger Way, Dallas, NC. Staff has worked with NC Forest Service representatives to develop a lease renewal of $548.86 per month that will allow us to recoup expenses such as utilities, internet, natural gas, landscaping, and general facility maintenance. According to NC General Statute NCGS § 160A-272, the County may lease property, but a public notice must be given at least 30 days prior to Commission approval. The lease was publicly advertised on October 27, 2020 to comply with the notice requirements. Approval of this Board Action adopts and accepts the attached lease terms on behalf of Gaston County and authorizes the County Manager or her designee to execute said documents. No additional County funds are required as a result of this lease agreement.
