Board approves one‑year partnership with Monroe School District for new Athletic Complex
Summary
Parkland Supervisor Grama presented a one‑year partnership (01/01/2027–12/31/2027) in which city park staff will maintain select baseball/softball field tasks in exchange for free access to gym spaces; the board approved the trial agreement unanimously.
The Board of Public Works approved a one‑year partnership agreement with the Monroe School District covering the new Athletic Complex. Parkland Supervisor Grama described the proposal as a written version of longstanding "handshake" arrangements: city crews will perform tasks such as skinned infield maintenance, scoreboard setup and batting‑cage assembly, painting and field repairs in exchange for the city's continued access to school gym spaces for recreation programming.
Grama said the term is intended as a trial year running from 01/01/2027 to 12/31/2027 so the parties can adjust terms after assessing actual needs. He also clarified that the city will not perform mowing, trimming, fertilizing or weed spraying of the complex, which the school is contracted to handle. After discussion endorsing a one‑year term, a board member moved to approve the contract, a second was recorded, and the board voted unanimously to adopt the agreement.
