BILL NUMBER:S1190

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to

PURPOSE:
This bill allows boards of cooperative educational services to enter
into leases not to exceed twenty years.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

cooperative educational services to enter into leases not to exceed
twenty years.

entering into new leases, and will provide greater efficiencies to
the overall operations of the board of cooperative educational
services district.

None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

 

Section 1. Subparagraph (a) of paragraph p of subdivision 4 of section

 1994, is amended to read as follows:

 (a) To rent suitable land, classrooms, offices or buildings upon or in
 which  to maintain and conduct such cooperative educational services and
 administrative offices for a period not to exceed [ten] TWENTY years and
 to improve, alter, equip and furnish such land, classrooms,  offices  or
 buildings  in  a  suitable manner for such purposes (1) before executing
 any lease, the board shall adopt  a  resolution  determining  that  such
 agreement is in the best financial interests of the supervisory district

 shall not be more than the fair market value as determined by the board;
 and (3) upon the consent of the commissioner, renewal of such lease  may

 increase or decrease in pupil enrollment; or (ii) a  substantial  change

 services with respect to facilities; or (iii)  any  other  change  which
 substantially  affects  the  needs or requirements of a board of cooper
 ative educational services or the community in which it is  located.  No
 lease  or  other  contract  for  the occupancy of such land, classrooms,
 offices or buildings shall be enforceable against the board  of  cooper
 ative  educational  services  unless  and until the same shall have been
 approved in writing by the commissioner.
