Editor’s note: The Pacific Daily News this week takes a closer look at government of Guam leases.
Today: Catholic Church is landlord for some mayors.
While most of the landlords to GovGuam offices are in the business of real estate, one stands out for not being a business enterprise at all.
The administrative entity for Guam’s Catholics, the Archdiocese of Agana, makes some money – $55,200 a year – renting separate offices where the Piti Mayor’s Office and the Inarajan Mayor’s Office conduct their official business, bid documents show.
The Inarajan and Piti mayors’ offices’ annual rent falls under one lease agreement, which was signed by Archbishop Anthony Apuron in January 2014 .
The archdiocesan office wasn’t immediately available for comment on how the rent money is being used by the church.
