BACKGROUND: Santa Ana College ("SAC") has a long-standing relationship with fire agencies throughout Orange County. As a result of those relationships, Rancho Santiago Community College District ("RSCCD") entered into a Construction and Lease Agreement with the City of Newport Beach ("Agreement'), which was approved by the RSCCD Board of Trustees on August 30, 2004. With this Agreement, RSCCD provided $350,000 from Measure E Bond funds to the City of Newport Beach to assist in the construction of Fire Drill facilities located at 1971 Mesa Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660. In exchange for this payment, RSCCD has had access to these facilities since the completion of construction to conduct Fire Technology classes over a 25-year lease period with no additional cost to RSCCD. Section 2.1 of the Agreement states that both parties would execute verification of commencement and expiration of a 25-year lease when the facilities were substantially completed. The construction of the facilities was completed, however, neither party to the Agreement executed this verification documentation. The City of Newport Beach has provided a Determination and Acknowledgement of Commencement Date Construction and Lease Agreement between RSCCD, on behalf of Santa Ana College, and the City of Newport Beach that will verify the commencement date of the lease as August 22, 2007, and with a termination date of August 22, 2032. These dates are mutually acceptable to RSCCD and the City of Newport Beach. ANALYSIS: The approval of this Determination and Acknowledgement of Commencement Date Construction and Lease Agreement between RSCCD, on behalf of Santa Ana College, and the City of Newport Beach will memorialize the dates of the 25-year Agreement between the RSCCD and the City of Newport Beach. This approval will also provide for the continued use of these Fire Drill facilities by the RSCCD at no further cost. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Board of Trustees approve the Determination and Acknowledgement of Commencement Date Construction and Lease Agreement between RSCCD, on behalf of Santa Ana College, and the City of Newport Beach, located in Newport Beach, California, as presented.
