PURPOSE:
Approve the attached lease agreement with Mille Lacs Motor Sports II for use of city owned storage space located at 6745 Highway 10 and 6781 Highway 10.

BACKGROUND:
Mille Lacs Motor Sports II's primary location in Ramsey is 6781 Highway 10. Mille Lacs Motor Sports II has been leasing storage space from the city for several years.  The timing of lease works well with the proposed improvements coming to Hwy 10 as it concludes just after its completion.  Power Lodge is also trying to figure out a permanent solution here in Ramsey and this extension allows them the time needed to crunch some numbers.   The City has negotiated directly with the Tenant and have agreed to the lease under consideration. The City Attorney has approved this lease as to form.  Staff supports the request to assist a growing Ramsey business that would possibly expand in Ramsey.
