K. Clark made a motion to approve the facilities use agreement with OUSD for 2020-2021.

Christina asked about use of the facility if OUSD isn't using their other facilities due to COVID-19. Krishna responded that that wasn't an issue at the start of shelter in place, and something to continue to work with OUSD on.
Greg asked for a review of the process to date to finalize this facilities use agreement. Krishna shared about the multiple versions, that this final version is still mostly the standard language, and that OUSD and UMCS lawyers have each reviewed multiple times.
Loren asked about the moving/storage language in the lease. Krishna clarified that in the scenario they would likely store our materials at the new site prior to giving us access to the site ourselves. Loren asked about the Prop 39 clause and Krishna responded that it was standard language when stepping out of Prop 39 and into an "in lieu" lease agreement.
Hae-Sin arrive at 2:13pm.
Davis asked about Krishna's recommendation. Krishna recommends accepting the facilities use agreement.
