The Milton City Council has renewed its five-year intergovernmental agreements with the Fulton County Board of Education to use Birmingham Falls Elementary School, Cogburn Woods Elementary School and Hopewell Middle School for recreational purposes.
The agreements, for city Parks and Recreation Department programs, renew prior arrangements dating to 2011 that expired in 2016, according to staff reports to the council. Combined, the city will see an anticipated average annual cost of $78,667.
The agreements give the city the outdoor use of the schools’ recreational space and first priority on renting indoor facilities for basketball. The city agrees to continue to maintain outdoor facilities, make a one-time purchase of additional fencing to help secure Birmingham Falls and Cogburn Woods, and re-surface the gymnasium floor at Hopewell.
Birmingham Falls supports the Parks and Recreation girls Lacrosse program; Cogburn Woods, the boys Lacrosse program, and Hopewell, the Camp Joyful Soles summer program for special needs young people.
