THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

September 6, 1994

To:

From:

Janna Taylor, Parks & Recreation Director

Larry J. Wheeler, Recreation Manager/Deputy Director

Subject: Proposal to "Pilot" Reciprocal Use at Schools

Recommendation:

That City Council approve "in principle" the concept of "piloting" reciprocal use at
Citadel Middle School, Kwayhquitlam Middle School, Coquitlam River
Elementary School and Hazel Trernbath Elementary School; and,

That this “pilot” project remain in effect for no more than twelve months.

Purpose/Problem:

The purpose of this report is to provide the Parks and Recreation Committee with
information and a recommendation regarding the proposal to pilot reciprocal use at
four School District #43 schools.

Background Information:

Discussions have been held informally with staff at School District #43 regarding
the value of a reciprocal use agreement. Additional discussions were held when
we negotiated our most recent agreement with the School Board regarding Hyde
Creek, etc. My understanding is that School District staff were to prepare a
discussion document regarding our proposal to pilot reciprocal use at some of their
schools.. With the retirement of their Secretary Treasurer, this discussion
document was never prepared. oo

However, with the school year on us, user groups are actively pursuing use of the
schools in question. As a result, the new Secretary Treasurer, Peter Boyle, has _
approached us to see if we would book the community facilities and maintain the
fields in the interim until a reciprocal use agreement proposal was drafted. This
would permit access to the schools by the community.
