On July 13, 1999, the City Council approved the concept of entering into a Memorandum of
Understanding with the College of.the Canyons for the construction of a performing arts
center on the College of the Canyons campus. The City's interest in participating in this
project was to fund the increased seating capacity of the theater from a 450 -seat facility to a
950 -seat complex and to support a piece of public art at the site. The cost to the City to
increase the seating capacity is estimated at $2.4 million.
The City Council requested that, among other things, the MOU address the following
interests:
1. Clarification of the amount of time that will be available for College vs. community
use.
2. Consideration of the City of Santa Clarita to be included in the name of the facility.
3. Clarification as to who would be responsible for maintaining and operating the
facility.
These items and other appropriate considerations for a joint use agreement have been
addressed in the Memorandum of Understanding.
