Former District 3 Supervisor Vikki Bauer said that during the period ----- leading up to the Great Recession in 2008, the County went into ne- gotiations “four or five times” to buy the Sierra Center Mall. The price To follow up on the proposed County Government Center story we at the time: $26 million according to then, and now current, owner ran two weeks ago … Paul Rudder. Bauer agreed that the number sounded right. The Sheet contacted Mono County Assessor Barry Beck to get the “It always our number one choice to buy the Sierra Center Mall at the right price.” Unfortunately, she said, that right price never mate- rialized during her two terms. As Bauer recalled, the County ultimately decided to sign a ten-year lease with a few lease options to give it time to explore a long-term alternative. “At the time, there was a ‘better safe than sorry’ sentiment on the Board,” she said. “Then-CAO Dave Wilbrecht felt property values were about to explode,” and didn’t want to risk a month-to-month lease like the Town had, she recalled. *The Town ultimately signed a long-term lease in 2009 at a price- per-square-foot that’s about half of what the County pays. So the County signed a long-term lease with the Sierra Center at what Bauer believes to be an inflated rate. If the County is weighing a lease vs. build option, she opined, the last thing it should do is con- template a lease renewal at the existing rate. At the board meeting a few weeks ago, the lease renewal option with the Sierra Center was estimated to cost $26 million over 20 years. Who in their right mind would pay $26 million to lease an $8.5 million property (though Rudder might argue he’s invested a few mil- lion into the property since that purchase in 2012)? Former Supervisor Hap Hazard recalled that the plan at the time (circa 2006) was to build a smaller administrative office building while continuing to lease space long-term for social service agencies. The reason not to build an all-in-one county government center is that the state reimburses the county for the rent it pays on social service departments. The state would not reimburse if social services occupies space the County owns. It is unclear why the current staff led by CAO Leslie Chapman would wish to house social service agencies within a county-owned structure and Ms. Chapman did not return calls for this story. Bauer said that the County and Town were very well along in the preliminary design of a joint government building (to be built on the McFlex parcel where the courthouse and future police building are located). “There are definitely files on that,” said Bauer. “That somebody was hired to do [create] a county-only proposal seems odd to me.” But this is apparently what happens when Boards and staffs turn over. People tend to reinvent what’s already been done.
