Recommendation:

I recommend the School Board approve the Interlocal Agreement between the Town of Jupiter and the School Board of Palm Beach County for use of facilities at Jupiter Elementary School.

Description:

·         The Town of Jupiter Parks and Recreation Department and Jupiter Elementary School have a history of working together and sharing facilities.

·         The Town utilizes the recreational fields at the School and the students utilize the recreational amenities at the Community Center.

·         This joint use between the Town and School has been  verbal only. 

·         The Town is now trying to obtain a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the County for monies to improve the fields at Jupiter Elementary.

·         As part of the application, the Town has to show that there is a joint use agreement between the School and the Town.

·         The Interlocal Agreement would also provide for documentation regarding joint use.

·         If the Town is successful in obtaining the grant, the Town will provide monies  recreational improvements to the School’s campus in an amount no less than $85,000 by December 2008.

Financial Impact:
Potentially $85,000 from palm Beach County’s CDBG funds for recreational improvements at Jupiter Elementary School.
