County agrees to rental terms for Domestic Violence Group to secure a safe space in Battle Mountain
Summary
The board approved a low-cost rental arrangement for a Domestic Violence Group to occupy county property at 159 West 3rd Street, pending a formal contract; the group plans training and a safe-space program.
The Lander County Board approved a motion to allow a local Domestic Violence Group to rent the county building at 159 West 3rd Street at a nominal rate ($1 per month; $12 per year) and asked staff to return with a formal contract incorporating occupancy terms and coordination with AA/NA meetings already held in the facility.
A representative described earlier training sessions held at county facilities and said the group intends to renovate the space to create a private training and safe-space area for community members needing assistance. Commissioners agreed to include any necessary conditions in a formal lease and will bring a contract back for final approval. The motion passed with verbal "aye" votes.
Staff and commissioners noted they would ensure the building terms address privacy and logistical needs and confirmed the item will reappear on a future agenda for contract approval.
