To: NRRC Commission
From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Joint Powers Information
After the conclusion of our last NRRC meeting, I sent to all NRRC Committee members the 2009-10 Joint
powers budget. I would like to inform the NRRC of a few other items relating to the overall joint powers
budget
?
Through Joint Powers Agreement, all outdoor restrooms at locations that HYAA uses during the
summer are paid for by the Hastings School District and not the City of Hastings.
?
The City of Hastings receives one half of the total cost of operating the winter shelter attendants from
the Hastings School District.
?
All adult league facility use fees ($26 per player) are collected and deposited by Community Education.
?
The City of Hastings and the Hastings School District divide equally operating costs of the Joint Powers
agreement. This is calculated after the collection of the adult participation fees is collected.
?
The City of Hastings, when utilizing indoor space at the Hastings School District facilities, is billed
accordingly. In turn, the City of Hastings has billed the School District for use of outdoor fields outside
of the regular season, for example, the High School District softball tournament.
?
In discussing the Kennedy Ice Rink with School District officials, it was mentioned that when the
hockey boards need to be replaced, the School District would contribute funding. The school district will
not contribute any funding to maintain the rink lights or adjacent building.
Thank you!
