The County is weighing alternatives for office space, including the former BofA building in downtown Nevada City, as it seeks to negotiate expiring leases at current market rates.
It also is looking at a commercial building at 333 Crown Point Circle in Grass Valley.
Next year, the long-term leases at the County District Attorney’s office at 110 Union Street expire; and presumably the building owners and County should come to terms at current rates, not pre-recession ones.
Here’s the agenda items:
Pursuant to Government Code 54956.8, the Board of Supervisors desires to hold a closed session regarding real property negotiations. The negotiators are Steve Monaghan, Chief Information Officer, and Tom Coburn, Program Manager, Facilities Management, for the County of Nevada, and Gary Tintle and Ken Baker, property owners. Items under negotiation concern the price and terms of payment for the property and the property interest to be obtained. The location of the subject property is: 201 Commercial Street, Nevada City, California 95959, Assessor’s Parcel Number: 05-396-24.

Jeff,
I was told sometime back that the bidding had closed on the BofA property.
Who owns it now?
It’s currently listed as “off market.” That’s the only information available.
I am sorry to hear that someone is thinking of putting county offices there.
With it’s red brick and wrought iron trimming I kinda thought it would make a great restaurant.
Imagine something like Ike’s Quarter Cafe there, with up to date climate control, a full bar, dance floor, and Ike plating out front, from a celebrity chef style kitchen.
The music, the food, the fun and the customers flocking to it, would be a tonic for this town and that corner. Not to mention more humane working conditions for the staff and more comfort for the patrons.
But I forget, this is Nevada City.
We don’t do things like that here.
‘Scuse me, I forgot.
Just read on Yubanet:
“The Tintles are partners with Ken and Kay Baker in the Alpha Building, which is currently being developed into a multi-use retail and office complex; in the Kidd-Knox Building at Broad and Pine streets, which includes the new Haven Underground music center; and they also own the Friar Tuck’s building which they rebuilt following the 2003 fire. The partners recently acquired the Bank of America building on Commercial Street. ”
Maybe you should take your wonderful restaurant idea to Gary, Judith.
