City of Hopkins & Hopkins School District Lease Agreement
for the Pavilion Mezzanine
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the lease
agreement between Hopkins School District 270 and the City of Hopkins for the leasing
of the Hopkins Pavilion Mezzanine area.
Overview
The Hopkins School District began looking for space last spring to house the "Off
Campus" portion of an expanding Hopkins Alternative Program (HAP). During this
search school district officials toured the unfinished Pavilion Mezzanine area and from
that point discussions began on a potential joint School District/City development of the
Pavilion to meet school district and community needs. In May of 2003, the Hopkins
School Board and Hopkins City Council approved this joint development of the
mezzanine and staff was directed to move forward with the Mezzanine, elevator and
restroom build out, and enter into lease negotiations with the school district. The
Pavilion Mezzanine construction is scheduled for completion by November 1, 2003.
Attached you will find a copy of the City School District lease for Council approval.

• Does this lease meet the needs of the community?
The Pavilion Mezzanine has been an unfinished space since the facility opened in 1990
and assembly in the space was prohibited due to lack of handicap accessibility. The
desire and need to finish the space has been around since the Pavilion was opened.
The City and the community have been unable to develop the resources needed to
finish the space.
Through this joint development the resources are now available. This joint development
of the Pavilion Mezzanine space opens the mezzanine to multiple possibilities for
community use by organizations and individuals, city use for meetings and training, and
business use for meetings, seminars, etc. The lease with the school district is flexible
enough to allow for these usages.
The lease calls for the School District to have priority usage of the mezzanine from 7:00
a. m. - 2:30 p. m. Monday through Friday. This is to accommodate the HAP program.
The balance of the space and time will be allocated through a meet and confer process
that will be developed as a part of a management plan. The intent of the management
plan is to ensure community needs are met while at the same time meeting the
educational needs of the school district.
Does this lease meet the needs of the Pavilion /City?
The lease provides the Pavilion with a stable mezzanine tenant who is a proven partner
• with the city and community, who also has ties to the Pavilion in athletics. The lease will
cover the leasehold improvements as well as a base rent. The lease provides the
flexibility needed to further develop relationships with community groups, individuals,
and business to utilize the facility in a way that showcases the Pavilion as a community
focal point while sustaining the financial integrity of the facility.
•
Does the lease meet the needs of the School District?
School District staff believes the lease will meet their needs and will be bringing the
lease to the October 23, 2003 meeting of the Hopkins School Board for the Board's
approval.
