Board recommends five-year lease extension for Lehman tenant, approves modest capital updates from Lehman fund
Summary
The board voted to recommend a lease extension for the tenant at Lehman Family Lakeside Park—adding three years to their remaining two to create a five-year term—and authorized updates funded from the Lehman fund, with lease language to be updated for pets and security deposit matters.
The Parks and Recreation Board voted to recommend that the common council approve a lease extension for the tenant at Lehman Family Lakeside Park, extending the tenant’s remaining two years by three to create a five-year term.
Staff reported the tenant requested the extension and indicated willingness to accept the annual rent increase in the lease language. Board members discussed which repairs and updates are village responsibility versus tenant responsibility, examples of past cost-sharing arrangements, and whether a security deposit exists in the current arrangement. One board member said, "We have a tenant that we know we like and they like us and they want to extend," voicing support for retaining a long-term occupant.
The motion approved by the board recommended the lease extension to the village board, authorized specified updates funded from the Lehman fund (the board discussed an update figure of approximately $6,500 for certain repairs), and instructed staff and the village attorney to include lease language addressing the tenant’s dog and other protections. The board voted and the motion carried.
