(See attachment for a historical reference that could provide an initial <br />framework for discussion on the delineation of each entities' responsibilities.) <br />The exact details and specifications of the proposed lease with OPC will be developed over the <br />summer break, and will address specific space allocation and potential impact on other <br />Northside tenants along with acost-sharing consideration, BOCC confirmation of the proposed <br />lease agreement would enable OPC to begin taking the necessary steps to officially relocate by <br />
