5. SECOND AMENDED LREASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN VILLAGE OF LOS LUNAS AND THE SCHOOLS OF DREAMS EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION.
Ms. Erin Callahan presented five. This is the first follow-up item to the RFP that we put out over the summer for parcel 2 south of the current
School of Dreams Academy site at 908 Juan Perea Rd. The Village accepted a proposal by the School of Dreams Education Foundation to
expand their full master planning for the campus onto the second parcel so they would have that entire approximately 20.5-acre site. In order
to move that to the next step, then that means that we need t amend their lease purchase agreement. Currently, the village is in a lease purchase
agreement for parcel one with the School of Dreams. Both legal counsels have worked together to review this amended agreement. Everybody
is comfortable with the terms. The village has also worked to make sure that the School of Dreams does have time constraints, that they are
looking to met for getting this agreement approved so that they can pursue their state funding that would allow them to develop the entire
camp. We have clarified language throughout the document pertaining to the term of the agreement and the option dates of the agreement.
The agreement is currently based off the amortization schedule which ends December 31, 2039. Within the document in the appendices is the
special warranty deed that eventually if soda with soda does option the property, then they will instead of having a lease purchase agreement
then they'll, you know, deed them the property. Fed through a special warranty deed, we changed the language on the special warranty deed
to add additional time where we're saying that this site needs to remain in use as a school. This also pertains to development, but there's
language in the current lease purchase agreement that basically offers expedited timelines on building permit review. Since we don't review
the building permits anymore, we can't make we can't go into that agreement on behalf of CID. Councilman Munoz inquired about the funding.
Mr. Ogas approached the podium - so far what we said we were going to do; we have submitted a letter of application to the public-School
Facilities authority to fund the project. We also have met with the New Mexico Finance Authority in case there is a match that is needed.
You know what amount of match there is, but we're anticipating up to anywhere between 10 and 15% of a match, although the local match is
about 52%. Moving forward on this is that we understand that they need to have the agreement and have site control to apply for all these
many millions of dollars of funding and that we don't desire to set any timelines that say, well, we're not going to approve this agreement until
you show us that you have your state funding. So we are moving forward under the agreement on the assumption that we're going to go ahead
and lease them parcel 2 and let them get in the best position to be able to get that state funding moving forward. Mayor Griego asked if there
were any more comments – there were none. Mayor Griego asked if there was a motion from council.
APPROVAL: Motion to approve the second amended lease purchase agreement.
