1. City of Waconia and School District Shared Use Agreement
Description:
The District’s attorney has given the following advice and response regarding the signing of the
agreement with the City of Waconia in regards to the signing of the First Amendment to the Shared Use Agreement. The response from the District’s attorney Jay Squires is detailed below: Todd, I have reviewed the 2000 fully-executed Shared Use Agreement between the District and City, the unexecuted 2005 First Amendment to that Agreement, and April 11, 2005 School Board minutes that indicate the First Amendment was approved by the Board. I understand that you wanted guidance in light of the City’s suggestion that the parties execute the First Amendment at this time, and date it as of 2005. Generally under Minnesota law, a contract is formed when the school board approves it, regardless of its execution. Here, the minutes make it clear that the First Amendment was approved by the Board. I understand the Waconia City Council also approved the First Amendment. Therefore I see no reason to not formally execute it at this time. Moreover, if the City wishes to date it as of 2005 when it is actually signed, I do not think that is an issue. I presume you have been operating under it for the last 15 years in any event. Let me know if you have questions. Jay |
