9. NEW BUSINESS

9.1. Consideration to Approve a Shared Services Agreement with the City of Le Sueur Combining the School District Community Education Director Position and the City Parks & Recreation Director Position
Presenter:
Rich Hanson
Description:
This partnership with the City of Le Sueur provides us another opportunity to team together and provide better services to our residents and eliminate duplication. Our two agencies have worked well together. With this Shared Services Agreement, we will be able to even further enhance that cooperation. One of the biggest benefits will be for those using our services. Both Community Education and Parks & Recreation will operate out of one location, the Community Center. Both the Administrative Team and the Human Resources Committee endorse this proposal and recommend approval.

9.2. Consideration to Dissolve the Shared Services Agreement with Tri-City United School District which provided Community Education Director Services
Presenter:
Rich Hanson
Description:
Our Shared Services Agreement with Tri City United has been a positive one. However, with the resignation of Nate Warden as our Community Education Director, both districts reevaluated our current agreement. We have discovered through the growth of each district, our needs have changed. TCU is in need of a full time Community Education Director. We can better serve our residents by partnering with the City of Le Sueur. In order for both districts to move forward, we must dissolve our current Shared Services Agreement. Approval to dissolve the agreement is recommended.
