Proposed Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of an ordinance approving an Intergovernmental Agreement by and between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by and through the Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation Board and the Junior College District of Metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri for the purchase and sale of the Longview Recreation Center and authorizing the Mayor to execute the same by and on behalf of the City.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an ordinance approving an Intergovernmental Agreement by and between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by and through the Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation Board and the Junior College District of Metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri for the purchase and sale of the Longview Recreation Center and authorizing the Mayor to execute the same by and on behalf of the City.
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 of the facility for the total purchase price of $4.1 million, subject to additional considerations including the imposition of various covenants, conditions, and restrictions on the property regarding maintenance and future use, as well as a stipulation that the property remain used for a public purpose for as long as the property is owned by LSPR. Additionally, the parties negotiated the Longview Community Center Use and Operations Agreement as further consideration for the transaction.
On Wednesday, July 25, 2018, the Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation Board approved the Real Estate Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of the Longview Recreation Center and related documents 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.
