Board approves sublease for athletic fields with Clark Brothers Capital LLC

The Delaware Academy Central School District at Delhi board voted to approve a sublease agreement with Clark Brothers Capital LLC covering 09/01/2026 through 08/31/2029 and authorized board president Tammy Newman to execute the agreement on the district’s behalf.

During discussion S3 moved to accept the sublease as presented; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. District staff clarified that the sublease is intended to formalize scheduling and maintenance responsibilities for athletic fields but does not change the district’s existing agreement with the American Legion and that the district will not pay Clark Brothers directly. "We're not paying Clark directly at all," the staff member said, adding that proceeds or scheduling arrangements continue to funnel through the Legion under the existing relationship.

Board members asked for clarification on maintenance and scheduling; the staff member confirmed the sublease documents were prepared by legal counsel and that the agreement should not alter student access or maintenance expectations. The board approved the motion and authorized the president to execute the agreement.

The board's action records the sublease period and authority to sign; legal and operational follow-up is delegated to the superintendent’s office and district counsel.
