F1410 - Criteria for Long-Term Lease Decisions

Rule: 
  1. The district will retain ownership of the property to be leased.
  2. The maximum term of the lease will be ten (10) years unless the Board determines otherwise.
  3. The district will not expend or become obligated to expend any funds on buildings or building improvements to accommodate users unless such expenses are recovered within the terms of the lease agreement.
  4. The district will maintain all buildings and grounds on a regular basis unless provisions of the lease agreement specify otherwise. Where feasible, a portion of each site, and especially playground facilities, shall continue to be made available for community and neighborhood use.
  5. The impact on the neighborhood and community will be considered. Examples include traffic, parking, and compatibility with the neighborhood.
  6. There will be adequate services--including water, sewage, and drainage--to support the proposed use.
  7. Single use of a building is preferable to multiple use.
  8. Long-term use is preferable to short-term use.
  9. The lessee will be responsible for and bear expenses for applications for conditional use permits, building permits, and/or occupancy permits (as necessary). The lease agreement will not be final or binding until evidence has been furnished to the superintendent that the necessary permits have been obtained.
  10. Any modifications to the structure to meet the needs of the lessee shall be at the lessee's expense, and subject to prior approval by the district. The lessee shall return the building to original condition upon vacating the building unless waiver of this requirement is approved by the superintendent or designee.
