eee REPORT TO COUNCIL

MEMORANDUM
September 8, 1994
Tony Chong, City Administrator
FROM: Larry J. Wheeler, Recreation Manager/Deputy Director

SUBJECT: Proposal to “Pilot” Reciprocal Use of Schools
(Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting - September 7, 1994)

That City Council approves ‘in principle” the concept of “piloting” reciprocal use at
Citadel Middle School, Kwayhquitlam Middle School, Coquitlam River Elementary
School and Hazel Trembath Elementary School.

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

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

Discussions have been held informally with staff at School District #43 regarding the value
of a reciprocal use agresment. During the last negotiations, for our most recent
agreement with School District #43, an understanding was reached that we would pursue
the idea of entering into a reciprocal use agreement at the schools sharing the Parksite #5
site on Citadel Heights.

This small “pilot” project, at the four identified schools, would provide both parties the
opportunity to realize the implications of reciprocal use agreements before beginning tu
negotiate other langer agreements in the future.

This “pilot” proposal would involve the Parks & Recreation Department maintaining
playing fieids at the schools, (one giass field at Citadel Middie School), and booking
community use of designated facilities in the schools. School District #43 will keep the
school buildings open for community use after regular school hours. |

A report including additional discussion of this subject is attached for information.

COMMENTS: Contingent upon Council's approval, the Parks
wet ond Recreation Director will work with the School Board staff

to develop written terms of reference for the "pilot" project

such that the responsibilities of the School Board and the

City are clearly understood.
