09-Softball Field Use Agreement PJCCITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET Submittal Date: Originating Department: Presented By: Agenda Item No.: 10/22/ 10 Council Date: Legal Kent McIlyar 9. 12/13/10 RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve a Softball Field Use Agreement with Paris Junior College for Paris Junior College's use of Softball Field No. 4 at the City Sports Complex and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary documents. POLICY ISSUE(S): Intergovernmental cooperation; Public hearing required by statute BACKGROUND: On February 23, 2003, Paris Junior College (PJC) donated 94.04 acres of land to the City of Paris for the City's use in developing a Sports Complex. The City constructed four softball fields, permanent lighting, a basketball and sport court pavilion, parking areas, access roads, a full-service concession stand and restroom facilities as part of the Sports Complex development. The City makes the softball fields available to youth and adult softball leagues from spring through fall and the City also allows the PJC women's softball team to schedule practices and games at the Sports Complex as coordinated through the City's Parks and Recreation Department. PJC does not have a softball field on Campus and their women's softball team needs a designated field that they can have first priority for practices, games and tournaments from the middle of August through the middle of May each year. PJC is willing to make certain improvements and to assume annual maintenance and upkeep responsibilities for Field No. 4 at the Sports Complex in return for the City giving PJC first right of usage of the Field No. 4 from mid-August through mid-May. Aside from the facility improvements the agreement essentially memorializes they way the City and PJC have been cooperating since the field was built.
