Summary
During executive session the board approved an interlocal agreement with the Town of Sumrall permitting joint, non‑exclusive use of the Highway 42 Athletic Complex by school teams; the agreement includes user fees, insurance requirements and a 60‑day cancellation clause added by the board.
The Lamar County Board of Education approved an interlocal agreement with the Town of Sumrall to permit joint non‑exclusive use of the Highway 42 Athletic Complex by school athletic programs and other users.
Board counsel and administration discussed the proposed agreement during executive session; the board then approved the agreement with an additional clause specifying that either party may cancel the agreement with 60 days’ written notice. The minutes record the motion in executive session and a unanimous vote to approve the agreement with that added language.
The agreement establishes priority‑user status for Sumrall school soccer and tennis, a user‑fee schedule for different durations of daily use, insurance and upkeep responsibilities, and procedures for scheduling and maintenance. It also obligates Lamar County School District to add the Town of Sumrall to its general liability policy as an additional insured for school‑related activities when permitted by the insurer, and requires the district to perform on‑site upkeep on days it uses the facilities. The agreement will be submitted to the Mississippi Attorney General for review as required by the Interlocal Cooperation Act before taking effect.
