Title
Intergovernmental Agreements with School District 135
History
The Village had previously had an intergovernmental agreement with District 135 for:
1) Use and scheduling of outdoor fields for community recreational purposes, and
2) Use of certain indoor facilities to support Village special recreational or summer camp needs.
The previous agreements had expired. Staff of both the District and the Village have negotiated renewed agreements for both categories referenced above. Under Item #1 (outdoor fields), the District is essentially assigning spare capacity of fields not being utilized for school district purposes to the Village for maintenance and programming. This will allow the community’s recreational leagues to have a single entity for scheduling and communications purposes. Under the agreement, the Village will maintain the fields in return for adding these facilities to the recreational assets available to the community recreational and competitive leagues. Costs of turf maintenance materials (seed, fertilizer) will be covered by the Village. Costs of materials for capital improvements or fencing will be the District’s responsibility. The Village will retain revenues associated with field programming, which is consistent with the terms in the previous agreement.
The second agreement is for use of certain indoor school district facilities. Specifically, certain gyms will be utilized by the Village’s special recreational sports programs (e.g., Chargers basketball, etc.). In addition, the Village’s recreational summer day camp program will be able to utilize a district school for an 8-week period during both sessions of summer camp.
The proposed terms of the agreements are for five (5) years. Staff recommends approval of these agreements.
