Notice of Hearing on Proposed Lease
You are hereby notified that a public hearing will be held before the Board of School Trustees (the “Board”) on February 8, 2022 at the hour of 6:00 p.m. (Local Time) at the School Administration Offices, 1918 N County Rd. 1000 W, Parker City, Indiana, upon, a proposed Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) to be entered into between Monroe Central School Building Corporation (the “Building Corporation”), as lessor, and Monroe Central School Corporation (the School Corporation”), as lessee.
The proposed Lease upon which the hearing will be held is for a term of twenty-two (22) years, beginning upon the acquisition of title to the real estate on which the Building Corporation will construct the pre-school addition and renovate the facility. The Lease provides for rental during renovation in the amount of up to $175,000 per payment payable on June 30 and December 31 beginning on June 30, 2023 until completion of construction. Thereafter, the Lease provides for a maximum annual rental of $350,000, payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year during the term of the Lease, commencing with the completion of the addition or December 31, 2023, whichever is later. As additional rental, the School Corporation shall maintain insurance on the building as required in the Lease, shall pay all taxes and assessments against such property, as well as the cost of alterations and repairs, and shall pay rebate amounts to the United States Treasury, as necessary.
After the sale by the Building Corporation of its ad valorem property tax first mortgage bonds to pay for the cost of the building, including the acquisition of real estate and other expenses incidental thereto, the annual rental shall be reduced to an amount equal to the multiple of $1,000 next higher than the sum of principal and interest due on such bonds in each twelve-month period ending on January 15 plus $5,000, payable in equal semiannual installments.
The Lease gives an option to the School Corporation to purchase the property on any rental payment date.
The building to be renovated and expanded pursuant to the Lease is Monroe Central Elementary School located at 10421 W State Road 32, Parker City, Indiana.
The plans and estimates for the cost of said construction and renovation, as well as a copy of the proposed Lease, are available for inspection by the public on all business days, during business hours, at the School Administration Offices, 1918 N County Rd. 1000 W, Parker City, Indiana.
At such hearing all persons interested shall have a right to be heard upon the necessity for the execution of the Lease, and upon whether the Lease rental provided for therein to be paid to the Building Corporation is a fair and reasonable rental for the proposed building. Such hearing may be adjourned to a later date or dates, and following such hearing the Board of the School Corporation may either authorize the execution of the Lease as originally agreed upon or may make modifications therein as may be agreed upon with the Building Corporation.
Dated this January 6, 2022.
