Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to execute 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 Jackson County, Missouri Parks and Recreation for facility use to support programming for various Jackson County, Missouri Parks and Recreation Programs.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of an Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to execute 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 Jackson County, Missouri Parks and Recreation for Facility Use to support programming for various Jackson County, Missouri Parks and Recreation Programs.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to execute 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 Jackson County, Missouri Parks and Recreation for Facility Use to support programming for various Jackson County, Missouri Parks and Recreation Programs.
Background:
Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation (hereinafter “LSPR”) and Jackson County Parks and Recreation (hereinafter “JCPR”) partner on a number of initiatives to promote and offer recreation activities for residents and patrons in the City and surrounding community.
For the past several years, LSPR and JCPR have entered into Facility Use Agreements which enable JCPR to utilize LSPR facilities for certain activities for physically and mentally challenged citizens of the community, including basketball, volleyball and dance activities.
JCPR has proposed a calendar of activities for 2019. A new Facility Use Agreement has been negotiated and prepared which outlines the various terms and conditions associated with JCPR’s use of LSPR facilities. It also incorporates the option for two (2) one-year renewals. There is no financial impact to LSPR or the City for this partnership, and the Facility Use Agreement imposes requirements on JCPR with regard to insurance coverage for events which take place on LSPR property.
Because Jackson County, Missouri is a political subdivision, RSMo. 70.220.3 requires that the Agreement between LSPR and Jackson County be approved by the governing body of Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
