SUBJECT: CITY FUNDING OF WILLIAM S. HART UNION HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICT FACILITIES RENOVATION
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation and Community Services
In September of 1991, the City of Santa Clarita and the William S. Hart Union High School
District entered into a joint powers agreement for the use of community recreation facilities.
The agreement allows for the joint use of the City and District owned facilities. District
facilities typically used by City recreation programs include gymnasiums, athletic fields and
various classroom and multi-purpose facilities.. The District, in turn, makes use of the City's
swimming pools, park buildings and park grounds for District sponsored activities.
The agreement also calls for each party to "...be responsible to repair any damage caused by
it ... in its programs during the time of use of the facilities..," In October of 1995, District staff
provided its Board of Directors an inventory of deferred maintenance items for facilities totaling
roughly $5.6 million.
In an effort to reimburse the District for normal wear and tear on District facilities as a result
of use by City programs, as well as to enhance District facilities (e.g., gymnasiums and athletic
fields) for greater utilization by the City and community, the City has offered to assist the
District in its deferred maintenance program by contributing $100,000 to such an effort. The
City's contribution would be spent on specific projects, as identified in the attached
February 22, 1996, letter of understanding from the City to the District.
The potential $100,000 expenditure was allocated by the City Council during its mid -year review
budget process, and the expenditure budgeted in account number 01-4100-230.
