Subject:

Resolution No.5811 Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement with Chandler Unified School District No. 80

Proposed Motion:

Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5811 authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) No. 80 and the City of Chandler for the shared use of City and District property and the waiver of facility fees and defined development-related fees.

Background/Discussion:

The City and CUSD No. 80 ("District") have a long-standing history of working together to provide the best service to Chandler residents. In April 2001, the City entered a Facilities Use and Fees Agreement with the District governing the use of each entity's facilities by the other party, as well as the waiver of certain development-related fees for the construction of District facilities. There also exists documentation of mutual collaboration on similar issues between the City and the District dating back to the mid-1970s.

This agreement will provide continued operation and use of two (2) lighted ball fields at Andersen Junior High and four (4) lighted fields at Bogle Junior High; the field light structures at these facilities are owned by the City. This agreement also enables City use of District facilities such as gymnasiums, multipurpose rooms, and classrooms, which will allow the Community Services Department to host and expand programming opportunities to residents as facility scheduling permits. The District will waive all fees related to facility use by the City. In exchange, the City will make available to the District certain City-owned recreation and community facilities for District professional, recreation, and educational programs, as available.

Additionally, the City will waive fees related to plan review, building permits, and building inspections, excluding system development (impact) fees and water/wastewater meters or where prohibited by state law. The agreement establishes an effective term of five (5) years, with successive five (5) year renewals upon both governing bodies' approval.

Financial Implications:

Because this IGA waives fees for both the District and the City, it is projected to have a positive fiscal impact. By waiving fees, both parties can save on administrative and billing/accounts payable expenses in relation to the development and use of facilities. Additionally, the agreement is expected to foster collaboration and resource sharing, allowing for more efficient use of facilities and services across the city. Per the agreement, each party will remain responsible for covering costs to repair any damage from use beyond normal wear and tear.
