LEASE OF LAND FOR FILTERING PLANT

There was presented to the Board a form of lease of certain lands of the University to
the City of Charlottesville for the purposes of the filter plant of said City

The attention of the Board was called to the fact that by agreement dated April 1, 1922,
of record in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County in D.B. 179, p. 385,
the University leased to the City of Charlottesville for 99 years a tract of land on which
is now located the City's filter plant, and that by a supplemental agreement dated November
11, 1927, of record in said Clerk's Office in D.B. 199, p. 83, certain changes were made in
the terms and conditions of the original lease, that by contracts dated April 1, 1944, and
August 23, 1949, of record in said Clerk's Office in D.B. 260, p. 193 and D.B. 285, p. 480,
respectively, additional small tracts of land were leased to the City by the University so
that the filter plant of said City might be enlarged.

The City of Charlottesville is now engaged in materially enlarging its filter plant for
filtration of University and City water and desires to lease an additional rectangular piece
of land owned by the University which adjoins the property subject to previous leases on the
east or northeast, for the purpose of a site for the erection of a dam and reservoir for the
impounding of overflow water from its filter beds.
