Ruiz, City Manager <br /> ,From: Sarah Medary, Recreation Services Director <br /> Date: May 14, 2008 <br /> Re: Intergovernmental Agreement with Bethel School District 52 for the Joint Use and Development of <br /> Artificial Turf Fields <br /> Attached to this memo is an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Eugene and Bethel School District <br /> 52 for the joint use and development of two artificial turf fields in the Bethel area. One of the fields will be <br /> constructed at Willamette High School and the other at Meadowview Elementary, adjacent to Bethel Community <br /> Park. <br /> The City of Eugene has a long standing partnership with Eugene School District 4J that initiated with the passing of <br /> a Parks Bond in 1998 where we constructed our first four fields in a 50/50 partnership. Since that time we have <br /> been continuing to develop fields with 4J, but have been hoping for this partnership to expand to Bethel where we <br /> could better serve the community with high quality athletic facilities in a close to home venue. <br /> The attached IGA with Bethel School District 52 forges a new level of partnership between our organizations and is <br /> a big win for the community and for our two organizations. With this agreement, we will be partnering to create 2 <br /> multi - purpose fields in west Eugene for use by school and community groups. Funding was made possible by the <br /> 2006 Parks and Open Space Bond Measure 20 -110. The $27.5 million measure included $5 million for the <br /> construction of 2 artificial turf fields with District 52, 4 additional fields with District 4J, and turf replacement of <br /> the 4 fields that were built with District 4J in 2001. The amended agreement with 4J will be coming your way soon. <br /> As per our normal practices, the IGA language was negotiated by a team of representatives from both <br /> organizations, finalized by the City Attorney, and approved by administrative stakeholders in Recreation Services, <br /> Parks & Open Spaces Division and District 52. At this point, all that's needed is your signature to complete the <br /> agreement and allow these valuable projects to proceed. <br /> Thank you for your support. <br /> cc: Renee Grube, LRCS Executive Director <br /> Kurt Cory, Public Works Executive Director <br /> Johnny Medlin, Parks & Open Space Division Director To. <br /> From: M c 1—k <br /> Return ❑ <br /> Keep or toss <br /> st,:2144+ <br />
