COMPLETED

Revised GWI-EBC Occupancy Agreement (15 min) Nancy

  • From June President Report: "To summarize, Goodwill has received cost estimates for the leasehold improvements that YCR2 and EBC would benefit from; they are greater than anticipated. Goodwill has asked EBC/YCR2 to contribute an additional $25,000 after 3 years of occupancy and a final $25,000 after 6 years of occupancy. They expect a matching grant of $75,000 to defray the cost of improvements that are expected to exceed $500,000. We do have the option to terminate our occupancy and then would not be liable for the additional payments. This [...] will again require board approval before we can proceed as this represents a substantial change from the agreement that was voted on at our June Board meeting."
  • July 8 draft of agreement for consideration
