6.1.C. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er December 3, 2012 SUBJECT Joint Use Agreement between the Redwood City School District and the City of Redwood City RECOMMENDATION Approve by motion and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the joint use agreement between the Redwood City School District and the City of Redwood City. BACKGROUND The City of Redwood City and the Redwood City School District (RCSD) have a strong history of effective joint use of facilities. This partnership includes a wealth of after school sports and other enrichment activities on school fields and in school facilities that are scheduled by Redwood City Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS). Until now, however, the city and the school district have primarily operated under verbal joint use agreements as well as a small number of mostly outdated written agreements created between 1999 and 2007. Each written agreement was unique and the terms of service varied considerably. Thanks to a mini-grant entitled, "Improving Community Access to School Facilities" from California Project LEAN and Safe and Active Communities programs within the California Department of Public Health, we have been able to formalize our joint use efforts by creating a Common Joint Use Agreement with Site Specific Attachments. A team facilitated by Pat Brown, the Executive Director of Redwood City 2020, Chris Beth, the Director of Redwood City PRCS, and Don Dias, the RCSD Director of Facilities, has worked diligently over the past eighteen months to prepare an agreement and identify unique circumstances for each school. The resulting agreement is based on joint use agreement templates developed by NPLAN, the National Policy Network to Prevent Childhood Obesity, current joint use practices at each of the school sites, and team recommendations. The following highlights the history of Joint Use agreements at each school, to the best of our knowledge.
