Board approves one‑year lease extension with Carry It Forward for 525 N. Highway 99
Summary
Lane County authorized the county administrator to sign a one‑year extension of the lease with nonprofit Carry It Forward for county‑owned property at 525 North Highway 99 in Eugene.
The Lane County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 12 approved a one‑year extension of a lease for county property at 525 North Highway 99 in Eugene with the nonprofit Carry It Forward.
Lauren Blythe, who presented the item for county administration, said the county entered the lease with Carry It Forward in 2019 and that the nonprofit provides space for people to park recreational vehicles and offers educational programs on RV repair at that site. Blythe said the extension being considered runs through 2026 and that the rent has been nominal; meeting remarks referenced the prior rate as $1 per year and noted a current annual lease payment of $12.
Vice Chair moved the order authorizing the county administrator to sign the lease extension (order 25081205); the motion was seconded and the board approved it by voice vote, recorded as 4‑0 with Commissioner Farr excused.
Why it matters: the lease allows continued use of county land for a nonprofit program that provides parking and repair training and preserves county oversight of the site. The board discussed the property's utility service status and whether it lies inside Eugene’s urban growth boundary, which staff said they did not have available at the time of the meeting.
Details and next steps: staff will finalize the extension paperwork. The presentation noted the lease term and the nonprofit’s activities; staff did not provide additional long‑term planning detail at the meeting.
