SUBJECT:
A Resolution Authorizing Execution of the Third Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Aurora and the Aurora Civic Center Authority Regarding the Management of RiverEdge Park and John C. Dunham Pavilion.

PURPOSE:
Attached is an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Aurora Civic Center Authority (ACCA) to continue to provide for programing, management, and maintenance of RiverEdge Park and the John C. Dunham Pavilion through January of 2027.

BACKGROUND:
In 2012 the City of Aurora entered into the original Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Aurora Civic Center Authority (ACCA) regarding the facility operations at the City's RiverEdge Park Music Garden and John C. Dunham Pavilion. A second amended agreement executed in 2016 ended February first of this year. A new agreement is needed going forward.

The Aurora Civic Center Authority has done an excellent job managing and providing first-rate programing at RiverEdge Park and the City would benefit from their continued management and programing services at the park.

DISCUSSION:
The City is extremely pleased with how ACCA has managed RiverEdge Park since 2012. We would like to continue to see ACCA manage and coordinate events at the RiverEdge Park. This Third Intergovernmental Agreement only has minor charges and seeks extend the successful relationship between the two governmental entities.

2022 budget provides funding for the RiverEdge Park in account 101-1026-450.53-32 in the amount of $1,200,400.00.

IMPACT STATEMENT:
ACCA's management and maintenance of RiverEdge park will ensure the continuing success of RiverEdge Park. The City will continue to work closely with ACCA regarding the budget, programming, reimbursements to ACCA for maintenance and facility upgrades. The City, its residents and visitors will benefit by this continued relationship between the parties.
