=. a ae me 1S Nevada City Committees Formed To Keep Tahoe Fo “We need office space. We want to be on this side of the hill---in Nevada City. We believe we belong in NeCi City," : With these words, Charles Everhart, administrative officer of Tahoe National Forest, calmed the fears of ~ residents and businessmen of Nevada City that the headquarters might move from Western Nevada County. . At the same time, Everhart emphasized the need for additional office space was acute and the headquarters staff intends to move from its Banner Mt. Road building bythe end of this summer---if possible by July 1, when their present lease runs out. The meeting at Seaman's,Lodge was chairmanned Mayor Bob Carr. Four councilmen and City ‘Manager James (Admiral) Ray attended for the it, Mexe than 30 interested Nevada City residents were in attendance, Mayor Carr announced the appointment of three committees to work under General Chairman Neil Hennessy , The committees include Organization, Site, and Financing. Everhart told the meeting the forest service is reluctant to move from its present site, but it has outgrown the space available there, There are 43 permanent employes working from the Nevada City headquarters now, where 2 3 j there were only 25 ten years ago when the USFS moved into the present headquarters building. He said the agency needs 7000 Square feet “useable” space (not including hallways, etc, ) Tentative floor plans indicate a building of 11,000 square feet is necessary to fulfill the 7000 square foot useable space requirement , it was revealed by Stan Halls, The forest service will put out to bid the building lease in the near future. They can only lease for a one year period, with a five year renewal. The contract can be cancelled by either party upon 90 days notice. If Everhart is unable to arrange such a lease before the end of the summer, the acquisition of a headquarters site must be turned over to the General Services Administration, since Everhart is limited in his contracting powers by law. TheGSA could lease for a five or ten year period, but Everhart warned the agency is interested in getting the cheapest sites with little ifany regatd for local economic interest. Under such administration, it is possible the headquarters would be moving every fivear ten years, Everhart pointed out the forest service has been in Nevada City many years---ten years at the present site, and at least 20 before that at the Elks Building. ‘in -businéss fron’ = ; { ) "We want to stay here," he said. He pointed out that 27 employes of the headquarters staff own homes in the area. The original plans called for a ten acre site, but the service is considering moving its warehouse and shop facilities to a site adjacent the new borate operation at Loma Rica Airport. In that event, a Nevada City site of about three acres would be sufficient. Everhart said the USFS desire to remain in Nevada City was prompted by the hope it can aid the economy of the city. if a Nevada City site cannot be found, the USFS will turn to Grass Valley. Everhart said le two cities receive more than $500, 000 pforest service families each year, Maxifnum legal rental would be i5 per cent of the construction cost or appraised value, whichever was less. Everhart warned against a 15 per cent lease agreement , however. He suggested a rental between ten and 12 per cent would be more in line with good management, He revealedthat ten years ago there had been pressure from the regional office to move to Auburn; but said there was no such pressure now. Everhart stressed that at some future date forest boundrest Headquarters aries might be changed taking from this area its natura! central location, but the boundaries can be changed only by Congressional action in western states. He revealed the service has looked over four sites: Gold Flat, near SPD, Cashin Field (near the Armory), and High 49 across from the Juvenile Home. Mayor Carr told Everhart the city has title to the old Good Reef Mining Claim of 20.6 acres. Ten acres of this ’ north of Highway 49 at the intersection of the road leading to Sugar Loaf would be available to any who desired to construct the headquarters through a cooperative spirit on the part of the council, Councilmen Craig Davies and Ben Barry showed the . site localtion on a map, and Everhart indicated an ins} terest in it.
