WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS,the School District is the beneficial owner of various school buildings; and
WHEREAS,the City and School District have mutually determined that it would be in the
best interests of the citizens of the community to be able to utilize various buildings of the School
District's deemed available by the School District Superintendent, including but not limited to
school gyms,restrooms, recreation rooms and storage areas (collectively referred to hereinafter as
"Facilities ") during certain hours, when said building is not being used for educational purposes,
for community recreational activities sponsored by the City; and
WHEREAS, the School District has determined that the City's use of the Facilities for
community recreational activities during these hours would not interfere with the School District's
delivery of educational services to its students and residents, and has further determined that said
usage may enhance the delivery of such educational services; and
WHEREAS, this Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement is authorized by the Illinois
Constitution of 1970 and The Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of the State of Illinois,providing
for the execution of agreements and implementation of cooperative ventures between public agencies
of the State of Illinois (5 ILCS 220/1 et. seq.).
NOW THEREFORE,in consideration of the foregoing,as well as the mutual covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth,the School District and the City hereby agree as follows:
1
I.
FACILITY USAGE
A. In consideration of the City's payment as specified in Section II.A.of this Agreement,
the School District agrees to allow the City certain usages of the Facilities . The City shall be
allowed to conduct its authorized recreational activities during those non-school hours when the
Facilities are not required for the educational purposes of the School District, as hereinafter set
forth. The City shall also be entitled to reasonable modes of ingress and egress to and from the
Facilities and to the use of the School District's parking facilities during those time when it uses the
Facilities. For purposes of this Agreement, "non-school hours" shall be defined as follows:
1. Weekdays ---4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Friday,throughout
the school term.
2. Weekends--all day Saturday and Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.,
throughout the school term.
3. At other times, such as summer recess, as approved by the Superintendent of
the School District.
B. The School District and the City agree that there will be a need for dedicated space
to store equipment for recreational programs. The School District agrees to dedicate and reserve a
portion of storage for those needs if such space is available as determined by the School District
Superintendent, and provide the City with keys to access that space as necessary.
The City agrees to provide construction and/or installation assistance for shelving in that
storage area, and will custom-make cabinets, shelves or other storage units for the room, as directed
by the staff of the School District, and agreed to by both parties.
C. It is understood and agreed that the City shall be allowed to conduct its recreational
activities at the Facilities during the non-school hours set forth in sub-paragraph A above, subject
to the provisions of Section D below. However, the needs of the School District will require its
usage of the Facilities during non-school hours on certain days throughout the calendar year and
School District-sponsored or related organizational activities shall be the first priority in the use of
Facilities. It is understood that the City recreation programs will have second priority. Educational
and other community activities shall follow without curtailment to the regular school program.
To facilitate the scheduling of the School's usage of its Facilities, the School District and
City will meet on a yearly basis to develop a master scheduling calendar for the following school
year. This yearly schedule shall be completed no later than August 5,and shall be incorporated into
the School District's Master Calendar. Once the master schedule has been developed, it will be the
City's responsibility to schedule all events and functions that will take place in the Facilities during
non-school hours as set forth in sub-paragraph A.
2
D. The School Board reserves the right to act as the final authority in determining the
use of the Facilities where controversial issues are involved when it deems the action to be in the
best interest of the School District.
E. The School District and the City recognize and understand that this is a unique
Agreement providing the optimum use by two public agencies of the physical facility being provided
for the taxpayers of both agencies. It is,therefore, recognized by both the School District and the
City that there will be need from time to time, for periodic review and modification of the schedule
set forth above after formal adoption and execution of this Agreement. Such reviews shall take place
as needed, at the request of either the School District or the City. It is also understood and agreed
by the School District and the City that there may be occasions when either party may need to utilize
the Facilities in order to accommodate special use, as needs arise. Therefore, upon a minimum of
fourteen(14)days written notification,either party may request a modification of the usage schedule
set forth above. By mutual consent of the parties, the schedule set forth above may be modified.
If special circumstances make it impossible for either the School District or City to cancel or change
the scheduled use, each party will work with the other to find an alternative date. Under these
circumstances, both parties agree that the scheduled event shall take priority over any attempted
change. Additionally, at those times when either the School District or the City has the Facilities
for a particular activity but elects not to use the Facilities for that activity,this Agreement shall not
preclude the other party's use of the Facilities for a function appropriate to its governmental purpose,
upon written request to the other party for such use and receipt of written clearance for such use from
the other.
F. In entering into this Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement,the City agrees that
all students of the School District shall be considered residents of the City when registering for City
programs conducted solely or primarily at the Facilities, so the School District's students may make
maximum use of the services intended to be provided by this Intergovernmental Cooperation
Agreement.
G. In executing this Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement and accepting its
benefits,the City agrees that it shall use the Facilities solely for those activities which it properly
and lawfully is authorized to sponsor or otherwise participate in.

five thousand dollars ($5,000) for purchase, replacement, and or upgrades of the Facilities and
equipment.Items will be determined by mutual decision.In addition,the City shall pay to the School
District the daily cost("Daily Fee")of each Facility use,which is comprised of the actual cost of the

services shall include 1.75 times the highest custodial hourly salary of a School District custodian,
plus all employment insurance,worker's compensation insurance, health insurance, life insurance,
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund contributions and other costs directly attributable to such

access to the school without the need of having a custodian or other School District personnel
present. The City will be responsible for securing the school properly upon leaving.
D. The parties understand and agree that, during the duration of this Intergovernmental
Cooperation Agreement, the School District may become liable for certain repairs to and
replacement of fixtures, furnishings and improvements to the Facilities. In this regard,the parties

which occur through normal use by the School District. If damage to the furnishings, fixtures and
other improvements to the School are the direct result of City activity other than through normal
wear and tear,the supervisor shall report the change to an official of the School District and file a
report with both the School District and the City. Maintenance staff of the School District and the
4
City shall consult on the appropriate method to affect repairs. The City agrees that it shall promptly
reimburse the School District for its direct cost of necessary repairs or replacements to the said
furnishings, fixtures or improvements. Any request for reimbursement by the School District in this
regard shall include a complete itemization of all damages sustained and costs incurred to repair or
replace the furnishings,fixtures or improvements,including statements and/or bills for materials and
services. If damage to the furnishings, fixtures and other improvements to the Facilities are the
direct result of School District activity,the School District alone shall be responsible for the cost of
necessary repairs or replacements of the said furnishings, fixtures or improvements so damaged.

to properly schedule and supervise City activities at the School in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
