Mr. Uram explained that these documents will complete
the ISD 112 partnership.
Mr. Norton explained that the Economic Development
Authority owns the land where Diethelm Park is located and the City leases
the land from the Economic Development Authority, except for the Field
House which the City owns. He said the refinancing was done in 2008 and
the City is still a lessee of the Economic Development Authority. In order
to release the land, the City needs to get permission from the Economic
Development Authority. He said they were able to release the land in which
the second sheet of ice was constructed without any real cost to the City.
He referred to the documents and said it is the First Supplement to the
Memorandum of Lease, which summarizes the lease terms between the City and
the Economic Development Authority. Mr. Norton explained that the City
also seeks the release of a small piece of land where a storage area
connected to the Field House was constructed as well as the area where the
second sheet of ice is located.
Mr. Norton stated he recommends the Economic
Development Authority approve Resolution No. 09-71.
Councilmember Paulsen stated they cannot lease what
they do not own.
Mr. Norton said they will have to work with Carver
County so everything is recorded in the appropriate order. Councilmember
Amundsen said he recommends that the documents be recorded.
Councilmember O'Connor commented on the first sentence
and questioned that the City entered into a lease with something they
didn't own. Mr. Norton said yes, ISD 112 and the City agreed to enter into
a Ground Lease. He noted ISD 112 wasn't sure where the second sheet was
going to be built at that time. Councilmember Paulsen stated the documents
had to be signed before December 31, 2007.
