DISCUSSION OF COOPERATIVE FACILITY USE AGREEMENT WIWBL SCHOOL FOR ONEKA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COMMUNITY GYM For the past year and a half, City staff has been working with representatives from the WBL school district in preparation of the combined use of the community gymnasium in the new Oneka Elementary School. As Council is aware, all students from the Hugo Elementary School, as well as new children from the Victor Garden neighborhood, will enter the new school for the fall 2006 school year. The Cooperative Facility Use Agreement has been drafted with significant input from both the City and WBL school officials for the purpose of coordinating the use of the community gymnasium after the school day is done. City Staff met on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 with Phil Fisher, Manager of Building Operations for the WBL Area Public Schools, to discuss the draft agreement and get input about joint operation of the facility. The draft is well on its way to completion, with a few detailed changes from the meetings. City staff presented the agreement for discussion by Council for a final draft agreement at a later date which would be presented to the WBL School Board, as well. Haas stated that the agreement only talks about the $1 million dollars that the City donated and doesn't recognize the value of the land that was given by the City for this site. CD Director Bryan Bear explained one example of what is included in the agreement and how it handles the additional costs that would be involved with the use of the facility by the City. Haas made motion, Miron seconded, to table this issue to allow staff to continue revisions to the agreement. All aye. Motion carried.
