We have a discussion and possible approval of partnership agreement with school district of Monroe Athletic Complex.

And I believe Josh is on the line here.

All right, good evening, everyone.

Parking supervisor Trayman here.

Just wanted to uh bring this to you.

This was something that's kind of been in the works for a little while here.

Um last fall we kind of had briefly discussed this real brief when we were talking about the robotic painter and potentially some future stuff coming um you know with the school.

So um wanted to bring this before the committee tonight and just kind of have a discussion on this and and and let us kind of proceed forward if if possible.

Um obviously the school district and the city of Monroe, we've had a pretty good relationship, working relationship for for many, many years.

And and a lot of the agreements that we had in the past were just um handshake agreements, you know, that we have said that we could do this or they could do that.

Um so just wanted to have something a little bit more formal.

Um, and we thought no better time than now with the transition to the new school for the high school um and the the facilities that they have there.

So just a kind of a little bit of a background.

The school has used a lot of our athletic facilities for high school softball, for tennis, um in the past.

In turn, we've used the gyms for uh volleyball, pickleball, you know, Manalyssa use it for after school programs.

Um so there's kind of been that reciprocal, you know, agreement, handshake agreement that we've had in the past.

Um as we move forward, um, obviously with the facilities that they're moving to the athletic complex, everything will be on site there.

So they won't have the need for um, you know, at the use at twinning park for softball or uh the tennis courts um you know for those things.

So this after some discussions, you know, we felt uh that it was probably best for us to have something in writing and agreement that we could, you know, almost like trading services that we'll be able to continue to help provide and offer the services of maintaining the baseball softball complex.

Um in turn, the city, the park and rec department will have the ability to continue to utilize all gym spaces for all of the gym spaces and and school spaces as needed for for the programming that we um offer.

So uh with that being said, um just you know, kind of a few highlighted things that kind of want to talk about um, you know, with that um you know, would be at the new high school baseball softball complex, the things that we would do, these are things that we've actually have actually been doing um for some time.

We actually started last year kind of doing a a trial run just to see can we handle the capacity of these things?

Um, and and we can.

Um, and we were doing it this last year.

We were doing it kind of at a you know, we were charging the school for the the work being done.

Um, and some of that stuff is is we have on here the list that I kind of list out was drag and line the two skinned in fields.

So at the new complex, there's two fields that are turf.

There are two fields that are like the natural, um, what I would you know, just for easy reference, dirt in field.

So it'd be the two skinned in fields that refers to the two dirt in fields.

Um very comparable to kind of what we had been doing at twinning park prior to uh brush and sweep the two turf in fields.
