July 22, 2003
62.25% District; and in Exhibit A-1 to change cost-sharing for Routine Landscaping &
Yard Maintenance, Irrigation, Vandalism/Storm Damage from 50/50 to 37.75% City and
62.25% District; and to change Building/Access Path Improvements on Exhibit A-1 from
:agreed upon/budgeted” to 37.75% City and 62.25% District; and the dollar amounts
listed on Exhibit B-1 to change accordingly with the percentage changes. Adjustment to
the cost-sharing for the parking lot resurfacing will need to be discussed if used for
general parking. Damaske had a concern that the committee created the percentages
in the agreement and he was uncomfortable changing without their input. Petfalski

of the parking lot. Buckmaster seconded; motion carried.
