RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute the proposed First Amendment to the Master Agreement and Lease to incorporate the Matt Jimenez Gymnasium (Attachment III) with the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD).
End
SUMMARY
The City and HARD entered into a Master Agreement and Lease (MLA) effective July 1, 2023, for the operation and maintenance of City-owned park sites. Under the MLA, HARD assumes responsibility for operating and maintaining designated facilities in exchange for nominal rent of $1.00 per year.
Since execution of the MLA, the City and HARD have identified an opportunity to clarify the roles and responsibilities for the Matt Jimenez Gymnasium (MJG), located within the Stack Center facility. The City and HARD staff both recommend the terms for an exhibit outlining roles, responsibilities, and cost-sharing for the MJCC gymnasium. The proposed First Amendment incorporates the exhibit into the MLA, ensuring consistency with the overarching lease framework while establishing facility-specific operational terms.
