Title
Interlocal Agreement with Alachua County (B)
This item is a request that the City Commission approve an Interlocal Agreement with Alachua County to Operate the Teen Zone After-School Program at Kanapaha Middle School.
Explanation
At the September 13, 2004, City Commission meeting, the Commission approved an Interlocal Agreement between the City and Alachua County to operate an after-school program, Teen Zone, at Kanapaha Middle School. The interlocal agreement indicated that the County would provide funding and the City would administer the program. The initial agreement stated that the City would operate the program in FY 05 and FY 06 for $50,000 per year. At the December 13, 2004, City Commission meeting, the Commission approved an amendment to the Interlocal Agreement to increase the amount of funding from $50,000 to $75,000 for FY 05 and FY 06.
At the July 10, 2006, City Commission meeting, the Commission approved a new Interlocal Agreement for the FY 07 Kanapaha Teen Zone Program. The County would provide $75,000 and the City would continue to administer the program. This current interlocal agreement expires on September 30, 2007.
At the August 16, 2007, County Commission meeting, the Commission voted to continue operating the Kanapaha Teen Zone Program. At the August 21, 2007, County Commission meeting, the Commission voted to provide $75,000 to fund the Program for FY 08.
Since the current Interlocal Agreement expires on September 30, 2007, the County would like to enter into a new, one-year Interlocal Agreement with the City to administer the Kanapaha Teen Zone Program for FY 08 (October 1, 2007-September 30, 2008).
Fiscal Note
Alachua County has committed funds in the amount of $75,000 for FY 2008 to operate the Teen Zone program at Kanapaha Middle School.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate all documents and contracts relating to the FY 08 Interlocal Agreement for funding of the Teen Zone After-School Program at Kanapaha Middle School; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute all documents and contracts relating to the program, after review by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
Alternate Recommendation A: The City Commission decline to enter into the Interlocal Agreement.
