Page 5 August 25, 1997 Mounds View City Council Cathy Bennett, EDA Director, explained that this lease agreement between the City of Mounds View and the School District is for 5,100 square feet of space in the Community Center for a period of five years, beginning September 1998 through January 2003 and has two successive options of five years each. The rental amount is $10.00 per square foot. The lease agreement was approved by the School District at their August 12, 1997 meeting. Council member Trude noted a typographical error on Page 2, Item 8, Line 2. The sentence should be changed to read " .... as set forth in Exhibit A...". Mayor McCarty noted that Page 2, Line 6 should be changed to read " ...per square foot from one year to the next exceed five percent (5%)". Council member Stigney asked if the city would be providing daily vacuuming of the leased space. Ms. Bennett explained that the School District space would be vacuumed by the city's janitorial staff. The cost is covered under the rental rate of $10.00 per square foot. A discussion followed in regard to the estimated cost of the utilities and janitorial services included in the lease. Mayor McCarty stated he believes that the original operational cost estimates were thought to be fusible when discussed previously. • Mayor McCarty noted that the second paragraph of the Lease Agreement refers to a portion of the building formerly known as the Bel Rae Balkoom. It was suggested that Line 3 of Paragraph 2 on Page 1 be changed to read as follows: ".. does hereby lease to Tenant that portion of the Mounds View Community Center located at ..."

VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carved E. Discussion on the Charter Provision Regarding Petitioning. Council member Stigney stated he asked to have this item added as he has had calls from residents in regard to the reconstruction assessment for Spring Lake Road. Attorney Long explained that under Section 804 of the Charter, there is a petition process for public improvements. Because 100% of the project is not being funded by special assessments (MSA funds will also be used), Subd. 2 applies which requires that a majority of the people who voted for mayor in the last election petition to stop the improvements. The community at large has the opportunity to petition the project up or down through a voting process. Mayor McCarty stated that as the city gets into the assessment processes and procedures and as the council decides how they will assess the project, all of the different methods of petitioning will take place.
