Montevallo and Shelby County Board of Education review MOA for community use of new high school gym; no vote taken
Summary
Councilors reviewed a memorandum of agreement with the Shelby County Board of Education that would allow municipal scheduling of the new Montevallo High School gym when school events do not take priority; the council took no vote and the MOA text was included in meeting appendices for future action.
The Montevallo City Council reviewed a proposed memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Shelby County Board of Education on May 26 that would govern municipal use of the new competition gymnasium at Montevallo High School.
The MOA included language that Board-sanctioned events (school athletic contests and practices) would take priority, and that the City could coordinate use of the gym during times it was not required for school purposes. The MOA also allows the City to nominate a designee to receive temporary access (key or code) and states the Board retains responsibility for the ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the gymnasium. City officials and the Board’s superintendent are listed as signatories in the document included in the meeting appendices.
Council did not take a vote on the MOA on May 26; the text was provided in Appendix 8 for review and further action. The MOA notes that City-sponsored events will require City supervision and that the City will assist with routine cleanup during events it organizes. The document specifies that the agreement does not grant any property ownership or title to the City.
Mayor Rusty Nix and Dr. Lewis Brooks (Superintendent, Shelby County Board of Education) are recorded as executive parties to the MOA in the meeting materials.
