SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Use of Facilities Agreement with Tampa Knights Futbol Club, Inc., a/k/a "RSL Florida" at Monroe Middle and Lanier Elementary Schools

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In January 2001, the School Board, The City of Tampa and Tampa Knights Futbol Club, Inc. a/k/a "RSL Florida" (RSL) were parties to a contract for use and maintenance of the fields located at Monroe Middle School and Lanier Elementary School. Due to the economic times, the City will no longer be a party to this agreement, but the School Board and RSL will be moving forward to work together to continue their usage of the fields for the interest of the children who participate in the soccer leagues and teams.

The Agreement for the Use of School Facilities between the School Board and RSL will be for the area located behind Monroe Middle and east of Lanier, including the area encompassed by the track. RSL may also have use of the schools' paved parking area when not being used by the schools. RSL will be responsible for the maintenance of these fields, including the cost of water for irrigation purposes and the electricity for the lighting. The term of this agreement shall be for one year from the effective date and no fees will be charged to RSL.

Approved by the School Board Attorney as to form and consistency.
