Re: Change to Parklands Lease
Dear Ron:
We discovered that the Ed Code restricts the
length of a lease of property for school districts to
40 years.
Therefore, as you will note on the enclosed copy,
I have amended Page 2, Item 2, of the referenced lease
to 40 years with an extension of 40 years. We are sure
this change will not create a problem to the City of La
Quinta. /%
