AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 14.B.
For Meeting of: February 7, 2023
ITEM TITLE:Notice of Termination of Joint Use Agreement with Yakima School
District
SUBMITTED BY:Scott Schafer, Public Works Director
Sara Watkins, City Attorney
* Ken Wilkinson, Parks and Recreation Manager - 509 576 6416
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima (City) has had a longstanding cooperative relationship with the Yakima School
District regarding use of City facilities for School District use. The Joint Use Agreement we
currently operate under (for activities other than fast pitch softball and Lions Pool usage), was
executed in 2006 and has been in effect for over fifteen years. Based on our respective changes
in use, and the age of the document, the City believes it is time to discuss entering into a new
Joint Use Agreement with the Yakima School District. The current agreement will expire on
August 1, 2023, which provides time for the creation of a new agreement.
During the next few months City staff will meet with the Yakima School District staff to discuss the
terms and conditions of a new agreement that will address use of City and School District
facilities equitably, and which will benefit both organizations and ultimately the park and school
users in our area.
