FOUNTAIN VALLEY : City Building Leased for College Classes
The City Council last week approved a 10-year lease with Coast Community College District to upgrade a vacant Police Department building where Coastline College plans to hold evening classes.
The lease allows the college district to borrow $300,000 in redevelopment funds to renovate the 24-year-old building at the Civic Center complex. The district will repay the loan over 10 years.
Coastline will also pay for all maintenance, insurance and utilities. The renovation will include bringing the building up to city code as well as constructing classrooms and offices.
The agreement also provides for students to use a nearby parking lot instead of the civic center lot, which includes City Hall and the Police Department.
Coastline, which leases buildings in Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa for its courses, plans to offer computer, business and foreign language classes in Fountain Valley.
