Agenda Statement
Meeting Date:

To:
City Council
Through:
Jim Hunt, City Manager
From:
Karin Sturdy, Parks & Recreation Director
Agenda Item:
Rental fees for AVTEC Student Services Center
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward has long enjoyed the benefits of providing community recreation programs through
the AVTEC Student Service Center (SSC) to the public. When access was temporarily suspended in July
of 2016, the public support to regain access — even if at a higher cost — was significant and well -noted by
staff and the City Council.
AVTEC's negotiated daily fee for parks and recreation is $350 per day for approximately 170 days
annually. The designated AVTEC portion of our parks and recreation rents and leases budget for 2018 is
$60,000. The conical Use Agreement with AVTEC is valid through June 30, 2019.
Parks and recreation works with both our customers and AVTEC to develop the best schedules based on
need. We add public use days to our calendars in the winter and we delete public days in the summer. We
close for a week at a time in coordination with AVTEC, for larger maintenance operations.
INTENT:
The intent of this agreement is to provide top quality recreation to members of the public who may
not otherwise be provided access to indoor recreational opportunities. It is equally
beneficial to have parks and recreation programs available to AVTEC students and their families
who are temporarily living in Seward. It is understood the costs of recreation space is
a needed expense and this partnership reduces overall costs to users and the general tax payer by
sharing facilities.
FISCAL NOTE: The parks and recreation budget includes $60,000 per year to cover 170 days at $350
per day.
