</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">On April 1, 2013, the Moscow City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
the Moscow School District (MSD), which memorialized the respective obligations of the parties
relating to the development of the MSD-owned Joseph Street Fields, located at the intersection of
Joseph Street and Mountain View Road. The MOU is included as an attachment to this memo. The
main condition which was to be met prior to the parties’ participation in development of the Joseph
Street Fields project was the successful passage of a capital bond by the voters of the MSD, which
contained a commitment by the MSD to collaborate with the City on development of Joseph Street
Fields and to fund one-half (1/2) of the expenses of the development costs of the project, up to
$1,500,000.00. If approved by the voters, the City committed to collaborate with the MSD on
development of the project and to fund one-half (1/2) of the expenses for the development costs of the
project. The bond was successfully passed in May, 2013. Pursuant to City Council and MSD Board
of Trustee’s direction, then MSD Superintendent Dale Kleinert and Moscow City Supervisor Gary
Riedner met to develop a process for implementation of the collaborative planning, construction and
administration of the project and the continuing maintenance of the Joseph Street Fields. Those
meetings resulted in the formation of an Authorized Representatives Committee (ARC), representing
the City and MSD to develop an agreement and a process for the project. The ARC, supported by
City Attorney Rod Hall and MSD Attorneys Ron Landeck and Danelle Forseth met through the
month of July and into August preparing a draft agreement for consideration by the City Council and
the MSD Board of Trustees. The ARC has developed the attached draft Agreement for Joint
Development, Use, Maintenance and Administration of Moscow School District Property at Joseph
Street. The draft Agreement is intended to accomplish the goals of the community, MSD and City in
developing the Joseph Street Fields project as quickly and efficiently as possible. The draft
Agreement will be presented at Moscow City Council on August 19, 2013. If approved, the draft
Agreement will be presented to the MSD Board of Trustees at their meeting on August 27, 2013. This
item was reviewed by the Administrative Committee on August 12, 2013 and recommended for
approval as submitted.
