Background:
Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation and the Junior College District of Metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri (hereinafter "MCC") have been discussing the potential sale of the Longview Recreation Center from MCC to LSPR for a number of years. Those negotiations recently resulted in the successful negotiation of the sale as well as terms and conditions for the continued long term use of the facility and related accommodations for three (3) of Longview Community College's athletic teams as well as their physical education students. Further, several agreements were made regarding competition of programming and classes. These items have been agreed to at no cost to MCC as partial consideration for the purchase of the building.
On Wednesday, July 25, 2018, the Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation Board approved the Longview Community Center Use and Operations Agreement pursuant to its authority under the Charter granting it control of the supervision, improvement, care and custody of the parks and recreation activities in the City.
Though typically, these agreements would not require separate City Council approval by virtue of the powers vested to the Park Board through the City Charter, this item is before the City Council for approval pursuant to RSMo. 70.220.3, which requires that any contract entered into between a municipality and another political subdivision be approved by the governing body of the municipality.
