The City of Flagstaff and the Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) have been in partnership to share facilities such as gymnasiums, parks, and fields, and share in the maintenance duties for many years. The shared facility use allows for FUSD programs to be conducted on City property, and allows for City programs, including youth and adult sport leagues, to be conducted on FUSD property. The agreement includes a provision for the City to be invoiced for a payment annually of $25,000, with possible changes to the amount if appropriated in the annual budget. The Agreement details maintenance responsibilities, for which the City agrees to maintain the irrigation systems of FUSD fields that were originally constructed with city bond funds.
