SANTA ANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION RECOMMENDATION On October 14, 2008 the Board unanimously approved the lease agreement by a vote of 5:0. DISCUSSION In 1971, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency and the Santa Ana Unified School District entered into a 25-year lease agreement for the site located at First and Flower Streets, known as the Neal Machander Tennis Center, in exchange for a similar lease agreement at Angel Park (formerly McKinley School). The City property, which abuts Santa Ana High School, sits on top of the Walnut Street Reservoir that is owned and operated by the City of Santa Ana. The original agreement granted the School District authority to construct 11 tennis courts at the site, free of charge, for the recreational use and enjoyment of the high school and the City paid for the cost to install lighting on four courts. The School District granted the City free use of the tennis court facilities after-school and on weekends. As a continuation of the existing lease agreement, the City and the School District are proposing an additional 10-year term with two 10-year options for renewal. No money exchange is required as the consideration provided is the enjoyment and usage of the property for Santa Ana residents. 25C-1 Agreement with SAUSD September 6, 2011 Page 2 In addition, the School District will hold the City harmless from all liability or claims that may arise at the property during the term of the agreement. On November 2008 the request to renew the lease agreement at Angel Park was approved, but the Neal Machander Tennis Center lease agreement was continued by the City Council and the facility is being used by the District on a month to month basis. The Orange County High School of the Arts (OCHSA) expressed an interest in using the tennis facility. The District drafted a Memorandum of Understanding to allow OCHSA students to schedule use of four tennis courts (M-F from 8am to 1:30pm). The lease agreement has been revised into a Lease/Joint Use Agreement and includes the OCSHA Memorandum of Understanding as an exhibit to the agreement.
