4. Discuss Leases
It was discussed if the city or park board take over the lease of the building from the
Jaycees. Turn it into an as you use it lease. Scott felt like the city was putting in too
much money into the building when the city does not have control of it. Turning the
building more like a public building or community hall. Phylis showed up. Kurt got the
lease and read that the Jaycees pay $500 a year for the building. Highlights of the lease
retaining to the conversation were read by Kurt. Kurt will go to the city’s lawyer and look
at the lease and what are the option going forward.
