the dates and times set forth herein for public parking, which consists solely of allowing the general
public to temporarily park regular sized vehicles in the parking stalls designated in the Licensed

entire Property for District events throughout the Term upon providing written notice to the City

District -sponsored events such as Back to School Night, Family Nights, Book Fairs, or Open House

to reserve the License Area and the entire Property for District use and prevent public use during the
District Events. The Parking Use shall be subject to any and all rules adopted by the District

City may not conduct any activity that changes, alters, or otherwise disturbs the Licensed Area and
many not use the Licensed Area for any other purpose except the Parking Use set forth herein unless
the District provides prior written approval. If the District believes any specific action or activity
conducted on the Licensed Area does not relate to the Parking Use, the District will issue a written
notice to City requiring such action or activity to cease immediately and City will take any action
necessary to address the District's stated concern.
(b) Common Areas. During the Parking Use, the Parties recognize that the
District may be using other portions of the Property for District -related parking. Thus, the Parties
shall work together collectively to ensure full and complete access to the Property is granted
throughout the Term of this Agreement including, but not limited to, ensuring all entrances and exits
to the Property remain open and unobstructed and no use of the Property blocks or otherwise
impedes access and use of the Property by the public or the District. The District, at its sole
discretion, may take any action necessary to address or remove any impediment to access or use of
the Property, including towing or otherwise removing or ending any specific use of the Licensed
Area. In no event shall the public or the City be allowed to access or use the portion of the Property
that is not included in the Licensed Area and therefore, reserved solely for District use. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the District's right to use the area of the Property that
is not part of the Licensed Area which the District may reserve for parking by District staff, students,
and/or guests or any other use authorized by applicable law.
Section 2. Use Fee. In consideration for the Parking Use, City shall pay the District a
total fee of City Three Hundred Seven Thousand Two Hundred Six Dollars ($307,206) ("Use Fee")
which shall be paid to the District in total within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this
Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Use Fee is not a rental or lease payment for
the Licensed Area but instead constitutes a fee solely for the right to use the Property for the Parking
Use as set forth herein. The Use Fee shall be received by the District at the address provided below.
Section 3. Term. The District plans to construct a fully -functional parking lot on the
Property, which shall include specified parking lot spaces in the Licensed Area (the "Parking Lot
Project"). The Parking Lot shall include at least 30 parking spaces which shall be 8.5' deep by 18'
wide except handicap spaces which shall be of dimensions as required by law. other necessary
utilities, signs, and markings, including spaces designed for loading zones. The District anticipates
completing the Parking Lot Project on or before January 31, 2020. However, the District provides
no guarantee regarding the completion of the Parking Lot Project or the specific date by which the
Licensed Area will be available for public parking. The District shall provide written notice to the
City when the Licensed Area is finished and available for the public Parking Use as set forth herein
(the "District Notice"). The City's use of the Licensed Area for the Parking Use shall commence
upon the date specified in the District Notice and continue for a period of ten (10) years.

for public parking Monday through Friday, 5:00 am through 9:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday,
5:00 am through 9:00 pm. The District, at its sole discretion, may limit public use for, or access to,
the Licensed Area for specific days and/or times as necessary to conduct repairs, cleaning or other
activities to maintain the Property or if the Licensed Area is needed for an event or other use of the
District (the "Restricted Access Periods"). The District shall provide written notice to the City as

take any action necessary to enforce the Restricted Access Periods including, but not limited to,
blocking access to the Licensed Area or Property, installing signs limiting access, and removing any
unauthorized vehicle or property on the Licensed Area.

that it cannot or will not complete the Parking Lot Project, or (ii) the Parking Lot Project is not
complete by March 31, 2020, the District will return the Use Fee to the City and this Agreement

the event the District decides to discontinue use of the Property for parking lot purposes during any
time during the Term, the District shall return a prorated share of the Use Fee to the City based on
the number of months the Licensed Area was made available for public use. Thus, nothing in this
