The district signed a ten year lease agreement with American Digital Outdoor in 2013 to install an electronic billboard at Burrell Field.  There were several subsequent lengthy delays with receiving approval to install the sign.  The district and American Digital Outdoor agreed that lease revenue may be spread out over 25 years rather than 10 years due to potential limitations on sign operation.  The sign finally began operation on August 1, 2016 without operational limitations.

The district and American Digital Outdoor are requesting approval of the attached amendment which would confirm the lease has a ten year term and runs from August 1, 2016 through July 31, 2026.

All other terms of the original lease, including content restrictions, remain unchanged.
