Interlocal Agreement with the School Board of Alachua County (B)
This item involves an agreement with the School Board of Alachua County to assume operational duties of the Teen Zone After-School Program at Westwood Middle School.
Explanation
In January, 2005, the City Commission authorized the City to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the School Board of Alachua County to use School Board middle school facilities to operate the Teen Zone After-School Programs. This agreement has been renewed over the past few years but has now expired. The City and School Board desire to enter into a new agreement that would allow the School Board's Extended Day Enrichment Program (EDEP) to assume operational control of the Teen Zone program located at Westwood Middle School. The new Interlocal Agreement details the terms and conditions of this partnership.

The City will provide funding in the amount of $75,000 per year to the School Board to operate the Teen Zone After-School Program. This agreement will result in an administrative cost savings to the City of $9,450.
.Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate all documents and contracts relating to the Interlocal Agreement with the School Board of Alachua County regarding the use of school facilities for the Teen Zone After-School programs; and 2) authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents and contracts relating to the programs, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
Alternate Recommendation A: The City Commission decline to enter into the Interlocal Agreement.
