AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET PROJECT: Approval of a new intergovernmental cooperation agreement between the City ofParis and Paris Junior College. BACKGROUND: As the City Council is aware, the City of Paris and Paris 7unior College have had a long standing history of cooperation to the mutual benefit of each governmental entity and the constituents and citizens they serve. Currently, the City and the College cooperate pursuant to an interlocal agreement between the two entities effective August of 1997. That agreement has expired, and as a matter of formality, the City and the College should enter into a new agreement on essentially the same terms as the previous one. Changes have been made to the agreement to reflect changes in the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791, of the Government Code; otherwise, the agreement between the two parties remains essentially the same as it has been for the last five years. This agreement has been discussed with President Bobby Walters of Paris Junior College, and President Walters supports renewal of the agreement. DESCRIPTION: The proposed agreement incorporates essentially the same terms as the previous agreement between the two entities, providing for the City and the College to participate in the performance of services mutually beneficial to the other, at cost. Where appropriate, the cost of these services are offset by the exchange of other services with the other entity; if there is an excess of cost to one or the other parties, the paying party is billed for any excess. COST: The only costs to the City are reimbursement of any costs actually incurred by the College in providing services, unless the City provides an exchange of services, in which case there would be no cost. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consideration of the resolution approving the agreement. STAFF CONTACT: City Attorney Larry Schenk and City Manager Michael E. Malone SCHEDULE: The agreement would be effective beginning September 1, 2002, and continue in effect for five consecutive one-year terms, ending on August 31, 2007. COUNCII, DATE: Consider for approval at City Council's September 9, 2002, regular Council meeting. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS: See enclosed resolution and accompanying agreement for approval.
