G.2 Approve Second Amendment to Lease for Bruce and Virginia Bernin at 6540 Greene Ave for an Extension Through June 1, 2022 In 2002, the City of Hugo approved a purchase agreement with Bruce and Virginia Bernin for their 23 acre parcel located at 6540 Greene Avenue North for use as a future City park. The acquisition of their property was partly offset by a $275,000 grant from the MN DNR. At that time, the Bernins entered into a lease agreement with the City to rent the property and remain living in the home and operating their tree farm for ten years. In 2009, the Council approved a five-year extension to the original ten-year lease, until the year 2017. As part of that extension, the lease was amended to remove the tree farm operation. The Bernins are requesting another five-year extension to June, 2022 to continue leasing the property for residential use. The lessee will continue to pay $8,950 annually for the next five-year term, payable in monthly installments.
