Summary

The board approved an amendment to a decade‑old donation agreement with Sunset Tartesso LLC (Elliot Homes) to finalize dates and allow the developer to exercise a repossession right on an undeveloped parcel; staff said the district had no immediate plans to build there.

Board members discussed and approved an amendment to a donation agreement between Dysart Unified School District and Sunset Tartesso LLC concerning an undeveloped parcel that the district received as a conditional donation in 2014.

Staff explained the site has not been developed and the original agreement included a clause that returns the parcel to the developer if a school is not built within a specified timeframe. Mary Dell Spadell summarized the background and said the amendment "just really finalizes what those agreement dates are." She also stated that Elliot Homes (the developer) is "looking to exercise that repossession right." Board members asked whether the district paid property taxes on the parcel; staff said the parcel was in the district’s name and parcel donations offset some costs, but detailed historical tax records would need to be checked.

The board moved to accept the amendment and authorized the assistant superintendent for business services to sign the agreement and affiliated documents. The motion carried.

The action will revert that specific parcel per the agreement timeline; staff said there are no immediate district plans to build a school on the land.
