Summary

Administration reported negotiated edits to a land-lease with the Pueblo of Pojoaque that would allow submission to PSFA for additional square footage for a middle-school project; the Pueblo council will consider the lease on Oct. 2.

Administration presented a red-line lease with the Pueblo of Pojoaque that (if signed) would allow the district to submit documentation to the Public School Capital Outlay (PSFA) Council seeking additional square footage for the middle-school project. The superintendent said the Pueblo general counsel called the draft "a strong lease agreement," and noted specific negotiated points including language to permit a land-and-water-rights exchange of equitable market value and a lease payment structure the district had requested.

Board members asked about parcel ownership, parking liability and the timing of any land exchange; administration said the Pueblo will consider the lease at its October 2 council meeting and, if both parties sign, the district will submit the signed lease to PSFA to advance the project.
