STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino approving the

Backe:round:
The City, County of San Bernardino, and the Norton Space and Aeronautics Academy (NSAA)
entered into a License and Indemnification Agreement on July 7, 2008, permitting the NSAA to
make the needed improvements to the former Mill Community Center, which is west of the
former Norton Air Force Base. In order to allow NSAA to commence school operations on
August 25, 2008, the parties signed Amendment No. I to the License and Indemnification
Agreement. The License and Indemnification Agreement expires on September 16, 2008 and
currently serves as an interim agreement until a long-term lease agreement between the City,
County of San Bernardino and the NSAA is approved by Council.
A twenty-year Lease Agreement has been jointly drafted by the City Attorney's Office and
County Counsel and has been signed by NSAA. It is scheduled to be approved by the County
Board of Supervisors on September 9,2008. The term of the Lease Agreement is from June I,
2008 to May 31,2028. Annual rent paid to the City and County by the NSAA for the 14.2 acres,
including buildings, and other improvements will be $1.
The NSAA, at their sole cost, will maintain the location covered in the lease, including all
buildings, grounds, and other property improvements. The NSAA will not make any structural
or exterior improvement without the prior consent of the City and County and will do so at their
own cost. Furthermore, a list of mandatory improvements and modifications, including the
construction of a Head Start Facility, shall be made by the NSAA at their own cost. Upon the
termination of the Lease Agreement, the location shall be returned to the City and County in
good condition and all modular classroom structures will be removed.
The NSAA is run by the same consortium that created the Lewis Center for Education Research,
a school facility in Apple Valley supported by Congressman Jerry Lewis. The NSAA opened on
Monday, August 25, and began with 183 students. Up to 300 students will be accepted the first
year and the NSAA will add a grade level each year until the school is K-12.
