Red Bank Catholic‘s rent is going up.
The borough council Wednesday night voted to amend the parochial school’s annual lease of Count Basie Fields in order to help cover the $878,000 cost of a recent artificial turf job. Most of the cost $537,500 was covered by two grants, said borough Administrator Stanley Sickels said.
RBC will now pay $80,000 a year for use of the fields for the next 15 years, up from $55,000. It will also contribute $50,000 a year over the next three years into the field’s capital improvement fund, Sickels said.
Here’s the resolution on the agreement: 10-255draftresolution
