10.D. Bagley Youth Hockey Association Lease Agreement
The School District has a signed Lease Agreement and Amendment with the Bagley Youth Hockey Association (BYHA) paid in full through March 31, 2021.  Under that existing Lease Agreement and Amendment, the School District's costs were $5,725 each year of the lease.  The BYHA has recently completed an extensive building and remodeling project including new locker rooms and spectator observation areas.  The Association has requested some financial assistance from the School District to help offset these increased costs of operations.  
I recommend, the School Board NOT consider additional lease payments during the 2018-2019 school year, due to the current budget shortfall in the District.  The School Board may consider adding a lease payment of $5,000 payable after July 1, 2019 and a payment of $10,000 payable after July 1, 2020.  Both of these lease payments are in addition to the preexisting Lease Agreement and Amendment with the Bagley Youth Hockey Association.  See attachments.
FYI no action - Beyond fiscal year 2020-2021, the School District may enter a 5-year Lease Agreement with the Bagley Youth Hockey Association from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026.  The annual payment consideration in the amount of $15,500 per year, may be considered.  Annual Lease Payments can be placed on School District's tax levy.
