At a special meeting called to order at 5:00 p.m., the Marion County School Board Leasing Corporation adopted Resolution 26-01, authorizing a nonexclusive perpetual easement to Marion County Utilities for project 24-105 to provide access for water-line work serving South Marion High School. Vote: 5-0.

The Marion County School Board Leasing Corporation board of directors adopted Resolution 26-01 at a special meeting called to order at 5:00 p.m., authorizing a nonexclusive perpetual easement to Marion County Utilities for project 24-105 to provide access for water-line work that will serve the new South Marion High School.

"The purpose of the board of directors of Marion County School Board Leasing Corporation is to adopt resolution 26 0 1, authorizing the execution and delivery of a nonexclusive perpetual easement for project 24Dash105 to Marion County utilities department," Jeremy Powers, the leasing corporation's attorney, said. He told the board the easement is allowed by the Series 2024 ground lease as a permitted encumbrance and "will provide Marion County Utilities with ingress and egress to place, construct, repair, maintain, relocate, and replace water lines or systems, and all associated appurtenances."

Powers also said the easement "provides benefits to the new high school known as South Marion High School" and does not "prohibit or materially interfere with" use of the school property as security for financing described in the 2024 ground lease.

Chair Dr. Sarah James asked for public comment and for any persons wishing to address the board to complete a yellow form; board clerk Martinez Young confirmed there were no public speakers on the item. The board then considered the resolution.

Board member Reverend Cummings moved to adopt Resolution 26-01; Dr. Lisonbee Campbell seconded. After a voice vote, the chair announced the motion passed "5 0." Dr. Sarah James said, "The resolution has been adopted and the minute shall so reflect its adoption." The board then approved a motion to adjourn by the same 5-0 margin and adjourned the special meeting at 5:04 p.m.

Notice of the meeting was published in the Ocala Gazette and recorded in the minutes, per the chair's direction. The resolution grants Marion County Utilities nonexclusive access rights for the purposes described; no other conditions, public comments, or amendments to the easement were recorded in the meeting minutes.
