Summary

The commission voted unanimously to not accept the DNR Law Enforcement lease at the PCGSC under the $200.56 monthly rate previously paid at the community building, citing larger, updated space and a need for increased rent; DNR will have 90 days to vacate if it does not agree to new terms.

The Pendleton County Commission discussed a proposed lease for DNR Law Enforcement to occupy larger, updated space at the Pendleton County General Services Center. The DNR proposed to continue paying the monthly rent of $200.56 that it had paid under a five-year lease at the Pendleton County Community Building.

On motion of Commissioner Carl Hevener, the Commission recommended not accepting the lease agreement at that rate; the motion passed unanimously. The board's action gives the DNR 90 days to vacate the premises if it will not agree to an increased rent for the larger, upgraded space.

Commissioners characterized the new space as larger and updated compared with the prior facility; no new rent amount was specified during the meeting. The rejection was recorded as a formal commission motion with unanimous approval.
