DISTRICT FOR THE REPAIR(REPLACEMENT OF THE CANYON HIGH
SCHOOL GYMNASIUM FLOORS
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation and Community Services
BACKGROUND
Since its incorporation in 1987, the City of Santa Clarita has enjoyed a cooperative working
relationship with the William S. Hart Union High School District. - This relationship was
strengthened in 1990 by the creation of a Joint Powers Agreement between the two agencies,
specifically for the joint use of facilities. Since that date the City has extensively used the
William S. Hart Union High School District facilities, and in particular its gymnasiums, for a
variety of youth and adult recreational activities.
As,a result of normal use of the School District facilities by the District and the City, the District
embarked on a much needed, multi-million dollar facility renovation program last year. At the
request of the District, and in acknowledgment of the substantial use of School District facilities
by the City, the City contributed $100,000 in fiscal year 1995-96, which is being used to provide
the wooden floor in the Hart High School small gymnasium, and assisted with the .funding
necessary to refinish the gym floor at Saugus High School.
In completing its facility renovation program, the District has requested one more year of City
assistance in the amount of $100,000. This second year funding will specifically be used to
repair and replace boththe auxiliary and main gym floors at Canyon High School.
The City's continued participation in this project will greatly assist both the District and the
City in better serving the educational and recreational needs of the students in Santa Clarita.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize assistance to the William S. Hart Union High School District
and appropriate $100,000 from City Council Contingency, account number 1240-7401 to Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Contractual Services, account number 7100-8001.
