Back!!: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 (Attachment A). The agreement, effective June I, 2008 through August 2008, provided the required indemnification to the City and the County while NSAA began improvements to the Mill Center site located at 503 East Central Avenue. 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. Scheduled to open on Monday, August 25, the NSAA will begin 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. The vision and goal of the NSAA is to reach the underserved population of residents in close proximity to the former Norton Air Force Base. The advantage of the location near the former Air Force base is the surrounding aeronautical and engineering businesses that have pledged their support, offering partnerships that will enable underserved students to experience real-life science. Students at the NSAA will also benefit from already established partnerships with NASA, JPL, and the Lewis Center for Educational Research. The License and Indemnification Agreement currently serves as an interim agreement until a long-term lease agreement between the City, County of San Bernardino and the NSAA is completed. The long-term lease agreement is being fmalized and will be on the agenda for approval for the September 16, 2008 Council meeting. In the mean time, the NSAA is asking the City and County to modify and extend the interim agreement until September 16, 2008. In order to allow NSAA to commence school operations on August 25, 2008, the parties signed Amendment No.1 to the License and Indemnification Agreement on August 22, 2008. Amendment No.1 also increases comprehensive general and auto liability insurance coverage from one million to five million dollars. Fiscal ImDact: None.
