This agreement is an expansion and extension of an IGA that was initially formed to build and maintain four synthetic fields at area high schools as a result of a 1998 Parks, Recreation and Open Space bond measure. This new agreement covers the existing fields, as well as four new fields at area middle schools. Two of the fields have already been constructed at Cal Young and Monroe, with construction ready to begin at Spencer Butte and the Arts and Technology Academy at Jefferson. In total, the City and 4J will be partnered on eight synthetic fields, with development and maintenance costs being shared on a 50/50 basis. With the two fields at Bethel, we are now at an inventory of 10 fields, which is a significant investment and asset for our community. As per our normal practices, the IGA language was negotiated by a team of representatives from both organizations, finalized by the City Attorney, and approved by administrative stakeholders in Recreation Services, Parks & Open Spaces Division and Eugene School District 4J. At this point, all that's needed is your signature to complete the agreement and allow these valuable projects to proceed. Thank you for your support. cc: Renee Grube, LRCS Executive Director Kurt Cory, Public Works Executive Director Johnny Medlin, Parks & Open Spaces Division Director
