Rationale:
By Resolution 17.5 dated August 17, 2022, the Board of Education authorized the Superintendent of Schools to enter into a Lease Agreement with Hampshire Management Company, LLC as landlord for 22,638 square feet of warehouse space at 60 Fullerton Avenue, Yonkers NY. That resolution inadvertently omitted the estimated cost of the property taxes.

This resolution is to present the estimated cost of Article 32 “TAXES” of the signed lease. This is for the proportional share of the City of Yonkers taxes to be paid by the District.

This resolution is to authorize the payment of Yonkers property taxes which are estimated be an average of roughly $41,200.00 per year, $412,000.00 over ten years.
