ACTION
Little Red School House Lease Adopt Resolution No. 13652 authorizing Contract No. 1990-122-COS- 
A3, an amendment to the lease with Scottsdale Historical Society, Ihc. for use of the Little Red 
School House property at 7333 Scottsdale Mall.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this action is to approve an amended Lease Agreement between the City and the 
Scottsdale Historical Society Inc. for use of the Little Red School House at 7333 Scottsdale Mall.
On July 1,1991, City Council authorized a lease with the Scottsdale Historical Society, a non-profit 
organization, to occupy the Uttle Red School House. The lease required the School House to be 
open to the public and operated as the Scottsdale Historical Museum.
The lease was amended in 1997 related to utility payments, and admission fees subsequent 
amendment in 2018 was related to maintenance responsibilities.
The Lease has been extended several times, the most recent extension ends on June 30, 2026.
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
In 2025, the Society welcomed more than 21,000 visitors. The museum hosted and participated in 
eight events or activities as well as multiple featured exhibits throughout the year. Over 60 
volunteer docents worked 2,258 hours, welcoming visitors and sharing stories and facts about 
Scottsdale history. The Scottsdale Histprical Society provides an annual financial and status report 
demonstrating their accomplishments, events, and activities.
The purpose of the amendment is to renevy the agreement for an additional five-year period and to 
provide for reduced operating hours for the museum. The amendment will allow any future five- 
year renewals to be approved and executed administratively by the City Manager.
The Scottsdale Historical Museum will be open as follows:
• September (beginning the second Wednesday in Septernber) and May, Wednesday through 
Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., Sunday, noon - 4pm.

City Council Report | Little Red School House Lease
• October through April, Wednesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Sunday, noon - 
4pm.
The Scottsdale Historical Museum will be closed for three months in June, July and August for 
redesigning or adding exhibits. In addition, the museum will be closed for the following holidays: 
Thanksgiving (Thursday and Friday), Christmas Eve afternoon, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve 
afternoon. New Year's Day, Good Friday, and Easter.
The original lease agreement states that the hours of operation will be Wednesday through 
Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Sunday, noon to 4:00 p.m.; therefore, this amendment 
represents a reduction in hours of operation for the "shoulder season" months of September and 
May. This reflects decreased tourist visitation and docent availability during those months.
There is a public purpose for the establishment of the Little Red School House operated as the 
Scottsdale Historical Museum providing citizens of Scottsdale and visitors with a cultural awareness 
of the history of Scottsdale and the Southwest.
RESOURCE IMPACTS 
Staffing, Workload Impact
No additional staffing or other resources are anticipated as a result of this lease agreement.
