SUMMARY:
On November 11, 2011 the City Council approved a five-year agreement with the MLKNFC and the City which was renewed on October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2021.
The MLKNFC provides a valuable service to the community through their recreational, educational, and social programming at the North Greenwood Recreation and Aquatics Complex and North Greenwood Library. Families visit the Center seeking and receiving assistance with basic needs, after school and summer care for their children, assistance with food, rent, utilities, and a chance to participate in programs such as healthy cooking, parenting/budgeting/Spanish/well baby classes, quarterly community lunch & learns, and annual educational conferences, in addition to an array of other service needs.
The agreement provides facility space at the North Greenwood Recreation and Aquatics Complex to provide their programs and services and in addition 530 square feet of office space.
The License fee for the five-year term is twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per year payable in quarterly payments of $5,000 on Oct. 1, Jan. 1, April 1, and July 1 for each year.
This agreement reflects an addition to the current agreement which would allow MLKNFC to provide a 60-day notice to the City to terminate the contract due to an operational need or a change in funding.
The MLKNFC desires to enter into a new five-year agreement from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026 with 1 additional five-year renewal at the discretion of the City.
