HomeMy WebLinkAboutAddendum - 31.The Parties entered Lease LAG-21-005 effective June 15, 2021 and subsequently amended the

the MOU limit access to Meadow Crest Playground, or where the MOU is terminated for any
reason.
5.The purpose of this Amendment is to (i) amend the definition of the “Premises” under the Lease
to include additional outdoor space, (ii) expressly authorize Tenant to construct a new
playground in the added outdoor space, and (iii) make certain other changes to the terms and
conditions of the Lease as are mutually agreeable to the Parties, such as (A) clarifying that the
Premises may be exclusively used for or in support of Tenant’s charitable purposes, (B)
extending the Termination Date by two months to better align with Tenant’s school year, (C)

in exchange for Tenant taking on all responsibility for their waste removal, and (D) clarifying
certain provisions within Exhibit E (Shared Services) of the Lease including clarifying that the
Landlord will provide emergency lighting and carbon monoxide checks in exchange for the
City not-prioritizing the “Premises” snow removal over other City priorities with no guarantee
that snow removal will take place prior to school hours.
