South Weber councilors explore renegotiating rec-center agreement with Davis School District
Summary
Council members discussed recurring subsidies to the family activity center and asked staff to explore renegotiation of the interlocal agreement with Davis School District to increase day‑use revenue or modify space-sharing. Concerns included cost, security, restroom access and feasibility of partitions or relocating facilities.
Council members spent part of the June 9 meeting discussing the family activity center’s budget shortfall and the city’s recurring general-fund subsidies.
A councilor suggested reopening contract talks with Davis School District — which the city reviews periodically — to seek a different cost-sharing or scheduling arrangement that would allow more daytime access to paying patrons. The councilor said moving the weight room or installing a secure partition could create revenue opportunities while maintaining school security.
Other members raised practical concerns: the music room is used by adjacent elementary programs during the school day, restroom access would have to be resolved, and any separate entrance or partition could be cost-prohibitive. One councilor recommended staff open a conversation with the district to explore options; staff and the mayor supported preliminary outreach.
No formal motion was taken; council asked staff to initiate discussions with Davis School District to assess feasibility, costs and possible contract terms.
