[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are just supposed to take Maret's word for it that they had a 19 year agreement? Where the heck is the documentation? This is laughable.[/quote]

That's a lie and they know it.  The documentation has been available for months- the original contract.  The contract made it clear that it was a 10 year agreement, and that it could be renewed in the last year of the agreement if Maret requested it, "solely at the discretion of the District".  The District was under no contractual obligation to grant the renewal. [/quote]

Here is the key part of the agreement where it refers to the possibility of extension:

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/360/824200.page  (22:33 post):

"6. Extension of the Term. In the event Grantee desires to extend the Term for an additional period of no more than nine (9) years (the "Renewal Term"), Grantee shall request such extension by giving written notice ("Extension Request") to the District not earlier than three hundred sixty-five (365) days or later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term. Within thirty (30) days following the District's receipt of the Extension Request, the District shall advise Grantee in writing whether it consents to such Renewal Term, [b]which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the sole discretion of the District.[/b]"

Emphasis added.

And what then happens if the city does it respond to the request for extension as required.  It’s quite possible that the remainder of the contract provides an answer or, more likely, applicable government contract law.  Is it possible that Maret has grounds to argue that, if the city failed to notify them that the city did not wish to renew the contract, that the renewal goes into effect?  [/quote]
