Board approves one-year lease for 30 parking spaces; revenue and tenant details partially unclear
Summary
The St. Louis Public Schools Board approved a one-year lease of 30 parking spaces (with option to renew four times) generating $27,000 in annual revenue; meeting record contains inconsistent references to the tenant name.
The St. Louis Public Schools Board of Education approved leasing 30 parking spaces in a district garage for one year, with an option for four annual renewals. Board member Miss Henry presented the request and recommended approval.
Miss Henry said the district’s director of operations identified available spaces on the third level of the garage. She reported the annual revenue to the district would be $27,000 and that the per-space rate would be $75 per year. She moved to approve the lease; a second was recorded and the motion carried.
The presenter, identified earlier as John Berglund, said the tenant would occupy 30 spaces. The transcript contains inconsistent references to the tenant: in one exchange the presenter said the tenant would be “Square,” while later language in the record referred to the “Starwood Group.” The district did not clarify or reconcile the discrepancy during the public portion recorded in the transcript.
Recorded votes during the motion included confirmations of support from board members: Mister Watson (yes), Miss Jones (yes), Miss Perry (yes), President Cousins (yes) and Miss Henry (yes). The chair announced the motion approved.
The lease term approved at the meeting is one year with the option to renew for four additional annual terms. The motion as described at the meeting did not include additional conditions or restrictions in the public record; the district did not provide a copy of the final lease document in the meeting transcript.
The board moved to adjourn open session to closed session after the vote.
