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 parking area use and improvements.
Background:
Jackson County, Missouri (hereinafter "Jackson County") leases property from the US Army Corps of Engineers which serves as an athletic complex located to the west of the Longview Community Center, owned by Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation (hereinafter "LSPR".) The parking lot which serves the athletic fields is the only point of access for the area which holds the trash enclosure for Longview Community Center.
In order to accommodate trash service needs for Longview Community Center, LSPR and Jackson County have negotiated certain terms and conditions which would allow for long term access across the Jackson County leased property in favor of LSPR in exchange for certain improvements and maintenance obligations accruing to LSPR for the benefit of Jackson County to accommodate for the additional burden placed upon the area as a result of LSPR's use. These obligations include making a financial contribution to upgrading the pavement in the area to be traversed regularly by trash trucks and the allowance of use of the Longview Community Center parking lot for the Jackson County Trip the Light Fantastic Annual Bike Event.
Because Jackson County, Missouri is a political subdivision, RSMo. 70.220.3 requires that the Agreement between the City and Jackson County be approved by the governing body of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
