Description

Report
Summary
Since 1959, the Housing Authority and the City have partnered to provide recreation services in the Coffelt-Lamoreaux Recreation Center and maintain Coffelt Park. The recreation center and park are located at 1510 S. 19th Ave. In 2016, the Housing Authority informed the City that renovations would begin immediately on a new recreation center and park.
The Housing Authority and the City recognize that Coffelt Park and the Coffelt-Lamoreaux Recreation Center provide a substantial benefit to both parties and the community as a whole. Therefore, the Housing Authority and the City have come together and developed an IGA for the future programming and maintenance of the newly-constructed recreation center and park.
The provisions of the draft IGA are as follows:
- The City will provide year-round recreation programs at the Coffelt-Lamoreaux Recreation Center, Monday through Friday for four hours daily, excluding holidays, for youth ages 6 to 12.
- The City will maintain Coffelt Park and all existing and future amenities in accordance with the City’s existing standards and resources.
- The Housing Authority and the City will work together to provide infrastructure improvements at Coffelt Park, with the cost of the materials and equipment for replacements, upgrades and additions being the responsibility of the Housing Authority.
- The term of the IGA will be 10 years and reviewed every five years.
The IGA is expected to benefit the community by continuing a longstanding relationship between the City and the Housing Authority to operate the recreation center and park for the community.
Contract Term
The IGA will be for a term of 10 years, starting on or about April 19, 2018.
Financial Impact
Programming of Coffelt-Lamoreaux Recreation Center and maintenance of Coffelt Park is already funded by the Parks and Recreation Department’s General Fund operating budget.
