The current lease term will expire on June 30, 2014, and both the district and UACDC have agreed on a three year extension from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2017.  Annual rent from July 1 to June 30, 2015, will be $137,684; July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016, will be $144,815; and July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017, will be $146,069.  The initial year's rate has remained the same as the final year on the current agreement and will increase 3% per year until 2017.
