35 of the Community Center.
36
37 City Manager Casey reviewed the resolution for Council consideration is to amend the lease
38 agreement with the St. Anthony -New Brighton School District #282 Community Services. The
39 current lease originally executed September 24, 1996 and amended January 1, 2008, will expire
40 increasing on December 31, 2016. Due to continually increasing personnel and operating costs,
41 it is necessary that the annual lease charge be increased. The agreement would renew January 1,
42 2017, effective for the 2017 -2018 school year. The agreement would then subsequently renew
43 January 1, 2026, effective for the 2027 -2028 school year. The School District was offered an
44 annual escalator of 2.25% or a step increase after 5 years. They preferred the step increase. The
45 proposal reflects an increase in the annual rent to $127,300 for the first five years, and an
46 increase to $159,730 in 2022 for the remaining five years. An analysis determined that the
47 proposed rent is adequate to cover both operating and capital replacement expenditures.
