Date: November 1, 2002
Re: Agreement with District 286
The resolution on the agenda for Monday would approve an agreement for the exchange
of land and the construction of replacement park facilities by the school district. Mr.
Glasoe has been meeting with Mr. Anderson regarding the amount of money necessary to
reimburse the school district for improvements that are beyond current facilities at
Grandview Park. He has revised his estimate to $95,555. That revision reflects better
information regarding the fence costs and the warning track (the warning track was not
included in his previous estimates and is an item not present at the current field).
The agreement will provide for:
1. Exchange of property to allow for the construction of a new school
building on existing Grandview Park land. The City will be without full
facilities until November of 2004.
2. The District is required to place $500,000 into an escrow account to
insure construction of the replacement park facilities.
3. Payment by the City to the School District of $95,555 for
improvements to the new park area that are above and beyond
replacement of existing facilities (irrigation, fencing, paving courts &
rink, demolition of existing park shelter building, etc.)
4. Payment by the City to the School District of $200,000 in return for a
20 year use agreement of School facilities by the City.
5. Payment of the State grant of $100,000 to the School District as part of
the use of School facilities, but only if the City receives the grant funds.
6. Closing on the exchange of property notwithstanding a title gap in the
property being conveyed by the School District to the City. The School
District is required to promptly take all necessary actions to clear the
title gap that has a section of land in the middle of the current school
site out of the title. The escrow agreement covers this requirement as
well as replacement of park facilities.
Based on those terms, the agreement reflects the premise under which the City Council
adopted a resolution of intent last year to proceed with negotiations to exchange property
and would be recommended for your approval. The School District would be authorized
under the resolution to commence its construction work prior to closing after the
