BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Board, the School Board and the Hobe Sound Elementary PTA entered into an agreement related to the "Kids Kingdom" playground at Hobe Sound Elementary in 1992. Since that time this playground has been removed and there is no longer public access to a playground at this school. The Board and the School Board also entered into an agreement for the track, baseball/softball fields and basketball courts at Hidden Oaks Middle School in 1992. Over time, fencing has been added by the School Board that limits access to these facilities and reservations for use of these facilities have declined to zero. Martin County continues to maintain these facilities at an average annually cost of $26,333.
Staff recommends terminating these two interlocal agreements as there is no longer mutual use of the facilities for school purposes and by the public. These interlocal agreements require termination be agreed upon by written agreement of both parties. In meetings with School Board staff, Martin County staff has informed the School Board that we intend to terminate these two agreements.
