Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal 4 - The City of Fayetteville will be a highly desirable place to live, work and recreate.
Executive Summary:
The City of Fayetteville and the Cumberland County Board of Education (CCS) have long recognized the importance of providing community recreation spaces. As such, the two entities have signed interlocal agreements regarding use of space, to provide citizens with the best possible service, with the least possible expenditure of public funds.
The proposed agreement will extend the joint use of facilities through 2028, permitting recreation activities to be held on CCS property.
Background:
The City has had a joint-use agreement in place with the school system since 1966. This agreement allows the parks and recreation department to utilize both indoor and outdoor facilities at school properties for recreation programming. The cooperative relationship between the City and CCS has made it possible for maximum use of space, without the construction of additional facilities.
Issues/Analysis:
Recreation services would be considerably impacted without the use of school facilities.
Budget Impact:
There will be no impact to the general fund balance.
Options:
City Council moves to authorize the signature of the 2025-2028 Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of Facilities with Cumberland County Schools.
City Council does not move to authorize the signature of the 2025-2028 Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of Facilities with Cumberland County Schools and provides staff direction.
