SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Use of Facilities Agreement Between the School Board of Hillsborough County and the Tampa Bay Youth Football League for Field Use at Manhattan Center

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Tampa Bay Youth Football League ("TBYFL") has requested the use of the field at the Manhattan Center for the Bay Area Raiders 2008 football and cheerleading season. TBYFL has been using this field for a number of years to provide football and cheerleading instruction to children between the ages of 5 to 17.

TBYFL does not require the Board to provide any field preparation, set up, security or clean up services or entrance into Manhattan Center for bathroom facilities. Since TBYFL has a long relationship with the Boys and Girls Club located adjacent to the field, they will provide the league with the necessary bathroom and storage facilities.

TBYFL is a non-profit organization and since the Board will not be providing additional services, a fee waiver has been requested. TBYFL will only be using this field for a maximum of 7.5 hours per week and the parents, players and the organization have proved to be cooperative and respectful about the field and maintaining it over the past several years during their usage.

This Agreement has been reviewed by the School Board Attorney as to form and sufficiency.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

Provide adequate school facilities for the accomplishment of all District Goals and Critical Success Factors.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: No)

The use of the field at Manhattan Center by the Tampa Bay Youth Football League will have no financial impact to the School Board.
