City staff has been working with Brevard Public Schools (BPS) staff to develop a Joint Use Agreement that allows both parties to use each others facilities.  The agreement includes a ten year term, 60 day termination by either party without cause, and covers all BPS facilities located in the City. Facilities will be used based on mutual agreement by both parties, based on availability. For BPS use of City facilities, BPS will not be charged a typical rental fee, but will pay costs related to any extra clean-up costs, personnel or utility costs, and will follow the Parks and Recreation fee schedule for nonprofit discounts. For City use of BPS facilities, the City will not be charged a typical rental fee, but will pay costs related to any extra clean-up costs, personnel or utility costs.

Additionally, City staff has been working with BPS staff to develop an agreement that allows the City to utilize the BPS-owned 24.22 acre property adjacent to Fred Poppe Regional Park for purposes of developing a new Disc Golf course that is being displaced by the Campground project. The term of the agreement is proposed for 10 years at a lease rate to be paid by the City for $10.

As part of the agreement, the City would install fencing between the BPS property and the residential lots abutting the property. The estimated cost for the fencing is approximately $8,500.  To develop the site, staff anticipates spending approximately $5,000 to hire a master course designer to design the site, and staff will be negotiating with the local Disc Golf Club for labor and materials to construct an 18 hole course. The City has an existing Community Partner agreement with the Club. Staff anticipates returning to Council with a future agenda request for allocation of funding for this project.
