Background:
In August 2018, Fire Rescue approached staff at Tacachale about the possibility of sub-leasing a property that could be converted to a station. Tacachale was enthusiastic about the partnership and offered one property (Phlox) that was of sufficient size to accommodate multiple ambulances plus additional office space. During a walkthrough of the Phlox property, staff offered the adjacent property (Tulip) as an alternative site and later agreed to allow Alachua County to sub-lease both properties. The parties agreed to terms and entered the sub-lease agreement.
Fire Rescue received an engineering report that stated that renovations to Phlox and Tulip would not be feasible due to the construction type and cost to bring the buildings to current building codes.
Fire Rescue shared the report with Tacachale staff who have agreed to amend the sub-lease agreement for both Phlox and Tulip and transition the terms to the Gardenia Building.
The amendment for the Gardenia lease was approved by the board in the July 14th meeting.
At the September 22, 2020, the Board approved and signed a letter to the State of Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities requesting to terminate lease agreement 4485-001.
