School board approves parking agreement with Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Church

At its regular meeting on April 18, 2011, the Mt. Lebanon school board voted to approve a 48-month parking agreement with the Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Church at 975 Washington Road. The agreement will make 127 additional parking spaces available to the school district during the high-school renovation.

In exchange for the parking spaces, the school district will pay the church $1500 per year and provide for the general maintenance of the parking lot, including salting and snow removal. The school district also agreed to reseal and re-stripe the parking lot when the agreement ends, an estimated cost of about $19 thousand.

School-board director Dan Remely said during the meeting that, compared to what others were paying for parking, the school district’s agreement was a bargain.

Two details of the agreement remain to be worked out: (1) the exact start and end dates and (2) how to handle the Lion’s Club Farmers’ Market, usually held on Wednesday evenings in the parking lot.
