6.1.B. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er October 22, 2012 SUBJECT County of San Mateo Agreement with City of Redwood City for Field Maintenance Services at Garfield School RECOMMENDATION Approve by motion and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement between the County of San Mateo and the City of Redwood City to pay the City $68,428 for Field Maintenance Services at Garfield School over a two year period. BACKGROUND In June 2002, the City accepted the newly renovated sports field at Garfield School and subsequently entered into a maintenance agreement with the County of San Mateo. The agreement was part of the three government agency partnership for field improvements that took place that year for both Garfield and Taft Schools that also included the Redwood City School District. In that agreement, the City used Capital Improvement (CIP) Funds to improve Taft School, while the County used Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to help improve the Garfield School field. The City agreed to maintain both playing fields, but would be reimbursed by the County the field maintenance for Garfield School only. This unique partnership has been in effect for over 10 years, and the maintenance agreement with the County has been renewed for two year periods at a time. ANALYSIS The current agreement between the County and the City has recently expired. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director met with the County Manager and Deputy County Manager to request an additional two year extension. The County Manager agreed that maintaining both the three agency partnership as well as maintaining recreational space in the County was of critical importance, and has authorized the agreement to be renewed pending City Council's approval. ALTERNATIVES Council may chose not to enter into this agreement.
