Koochiching County approves LEC lease terms and authorizes seeking renovation bids
Summary
The board approved signing a lease with the city for LEC space and authorized staff to seek bids for renovations (flooring, painting, ceiling tiles, lighting) with renovation costs to be split equally with the city; final bids will be returned to the board for approval.
County administration recommended the board approve signing the LEC lease with the city and authorized staff to solicit renovation bids covering flooring, paint, ceiling tiles and lighting. Adam Cole summarized prior agreement terms including annual rent increases tied to the Consumer Price Index capped at 2.5 percent and described shared renovation costs: "What I'm asking today is for the board to approve us signing the lease...and to seek bids for renovation." He said the city had completed inspections and a walk‑through with city representatives was requested before finalizing bid specifications.
Board members asked whether the county would see the bids for final approval; Cole confirmed that bids would be brought back to the county for review and approval. The board approved the motion to sign the lease and to seek bids on a voice vote.
