Peralta lease agreements signed


Formal lease agreements ne-


gotiated with the four tenants on Orange Unified’s Peralta property will put an annual $326,616 into the district’s coffers. Olive Crest Academy, Drotter


LLC, Tennis Specialists and Are- na Soccer have been operating under interim lease agreements since April. The board agreed to the temporary leases because it ran out of negotiating time when the primary tenant’s lease expired on March 31. Olive Crest, Tennis Specialists and Arena Soccer had been subleasing from PGP Golf Partnership, whose contract with the district was not renewed. In the weeks prior to PGP’s termina- tion, the subtenants agreed to ten- tative lease amounts that would allowthem to remain on the prop- erty. Jason Drotter stepped in to take over PGP’s driving range and the maintenance responsibili- ties it had assumed as the subten- ants “landlord.” Drotter also ac- cepted an interim lease. Under the negotiated lease,


Olive Crest will pay $15,500 per month; Tennis Specialists, $1,800; Arena Soccer, $6,834. Those tenants will be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of their specific areas. Drotter LLC will pay $3,084 per month, but will also take care of the com- mon areas and parking lots on the property, a value of approximate- ly $1,000 per month. The July 23 vote to approve the agreements was unanimous.

OHS ag program growing School is not out for students at


Orange High School’s agriculture department. The students partici- pated in the OC Fair with their animals and the school's petting zoo, and started a farm-to-table program, installing an integrated fish pond and sustainable garden. The “fish project” included


construction of a 600-gallon tila- pia pond, and a 90-sq.-ft. planter to grow vegetables. The two are coupled so water from the fish


pond will provide nutrients to the plants, which will help to filter the water for the fish. Students will sell the fish and produce to stu- dents’ families and school staff, and at the Orange Farmers Mar- ket.


In addition to the new aquacul-


ture feature, OHS plans to imple- ment a vertical garden and add chickens so that fresh eggs can also be sold. All projects will be managed by agriculture students.
