In addition to the real estate, there is equipment that will be leased as well which is $5766 annually. This price was calculated upon the fair market value determined by Susan Blumenstein and capitalized that value to determine the rental price. This lease will not be used unless or until such time as the restraining order now in effect is resolved, Mr. Pope said. Mr. Pope advised that should the board approve this, the motion should state for use at such time as the restraining is not in effect. He does not propose to do anything until the County is permitted to do so, he said. Chairman Haire inquired if it was the attorney's recommendation that the board go ahead with the agreement with this wording? Mr. Pope replied that it was. Commissioner Madison inquired about the rental price of $12.15 per sq. ft. He asked how staff derived at this figure. Mr. Pope said that was market rent plus janitorial and security services. ($10.75 rent, .75 janitorial, .65 cubicals - $12.15) Commissioner Madison inquired about the inclusion of utilities in the lease. He questioned if this price is as good a deal as it should be in looking at the first class office space and the utilities being furnished. Mr. Pope said the utilities are included because there are no separate meters. They determined the cost of metering it separately was pretty expensive. Mr. Mashburn said Mrs. Blumenstein had done a market survey and of rent for the area and then added the utilities to the price. Commissioner Madison inquired what the County was paying for the rental space on Walnut Street. However, it was not known by anyone at the meeting. Commissioner Madison said he was in opposition to the lease anyway. Commissioner Boone inquired how they arrived at the price for the utilities.
