I have in my hand a copy of the prior lease with Seacrets. It is dated November 1, 2008, signed by OPA President Dave Stevens and O.C. Seacrets, Inc. by Leighton Moore.

Term is for 5 years, terminating October 31, 2013... so Stauss was correct on that front. The amount was for $30,371 for the first year; $31,890 for 2nd; $33,485 for 3rd; $34,824 for 4th; and $36,217 for the 5th.

The lease states, "The property hereby leased shall be used for parking only and the Lessee shall use the property for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Lessor."

Obviously the Seacrets structure bayside on the OPA property violated the terms of the lease last year.

So, despite all the claims to the contrary by Marty Clark and your claim of not knowing on the very day the board authorized you to sign the new lease, the prior lease did indeed limit Seacrets use to "parking only" and "for no other purpose."

Les Purcell does indeed know how to read, despite your possible doubts.
