OF THE COMMUNITY GYMNASIUM
Community Services Supervisor Kurata provided a report regarding a request to review the rental fees from Fullerton Joint Union High School District (FJUSD) and for the City to explore Joint Use Agreement (JUA) opportunities with Centralia School District (CSD). Supervisor Kurata discussed the Master Facilities Use Agreement with FJUHSD, fees from FY 2022-2023 for City programs held at BPHS (Buena Park High School), and FJUHSD fees for staff overtime.
Currently, there is no existing JUA with Centralia School District. However, the City does have policies and agreements in place related to school districts. Staff sought City Council direction to renegotiate the rental rates with FJUHSD for use of Buena Park High School, explore JUA arrangements with CSD, or maintain the status quo.
The City Council asked about the purpose of bringing the item forward; City staff time costs charged to FJUHSD when they use City facilities and examples of when they rented City facilities; custodial workers part of the FJUHSD payroll; instances in which FJUHSD suggested a joint project or to collaborate on something outside the current Master Facilities Use Agreement between the City and FJUHSD; and, same standard applied to all school districts in regards to charging for staff time and other costs.
Minutes January 23, 2024 Vol. 54 Pg. 9
Council Member Castañeda indicated that the City spends money for use of FJUHSD facilities, but FJUHSD does not pay the City for their use of City facilities. Council Member Castañeda suggested to discuss and renegotiate facilities rental rates with FJUHSD.
Supervisor Kurata clarified that FJUHSD charges the City staff fees but not facility fees. Staff fees cover custodial staff's and sound engineer's rates. Staff reviewed last year's use of City facilities and found that BPHS rented ballrooms at Ehler's Event Center about five times. BPHS used the ballroom for staff trainings and sports banquets. The City charged BPHS for staff fees but did not include facility rental fees. Supervisor Kurata also confirmed that all expenses, such as the custodial staff's fees, are relative to their facilities. As for any discussion on a joint project or to collaborate with FJUHSD, there has been in the past. However, nothing was recently brought up that could potentially change the terms of the existing agreement. Lastly, Supervisor Kurata indicated the applicability of City Council Policy Statement No. 26 - Use of Facilities for school districts serving Buena Park residents.
Council Member Brown recommended that the City Council initiate a discussion with FJUHSD to renegotiate the fees when the agreement is up for renewal.
City Attorney Cardinale indicated that the Master Facilities Use Agreement does not expire until November 5, 2028.
Following the discussion, the City Council (Brown and Sonne dissented) directed staff to renegotiate rental rates with FJUHSD for use of BPHS. The City Council also directed staff to explore JUA arrangements with CSD and AUHSD.
Supervisor Kurata also discussed a request brought forward regarding potentially reducing or waiving the Community Gymnasium rental fees to Thanksgiving Church, and exploring JUA opportunities with Thanksgiving Church. Supervisor Kurata discussed that the Thanksgiving Church has been a community partner, a resource to the City, BPSD, and the community, and has served the community through outreach programs and various events. Historically the Church has rented the Community Gymnasium every Sunday from 2009 to 2018, and is requesting to rent it again for their youth ministry sports activities held on Sundays. However, the current fee schedule is cost prohibitive to Thanksgiving Church. Thanksgiving Church is requesting a fee reduction for use of the Community Gymnasium on Sundays, or reciprocal JUA arrangement with the City. Currently, there are other faith-based organizations renting the Community Gymnasium paying the non-profit rate. Staff sought City Council direction to change Thanksgiving Church status from non-profit to City-assisted, waive or reduce the fees charged to Thanksgiving Church, explore JUA options with Thanksgiving Church, or maintain the status quo.
The City Council asked about the number of organizations that use City facilities; use of the other organizations' facilities the City currently partners with; and, reciprocation of use of facilities between the City and other faith-based organizations.
Supervisor Kurata indicated that three organizations used the community gymnasium in the last year. One of which is Buena Park-based and the other two are Anaheim-based. The three organizations use the fields and are not currently renting the gymnasium. These organizations are only being charged for post-season activities. Supervisor Kurata discussed Thanksgiving Church's ongoing partnership with Buena Park School District and Buena Park Middle School.
City Attorney Cardinale explained that the use of City facilities is open to all non-profit organizations and not exclusive to faith-based ones.
Pastor Mike Kim, Thanksgiving Church, spoke regarding a request for the City Council to consider to reduce or waive the fees for their use of the community gymnasium as well as a possible JUA.
Council Member Brown stated that if the City Council decides to move forward with reducing or waiving the fees for City facilities use, then this should apply to all non-profit organizations.
Council Member Traut concurred with Council Member Brown and requested more data to justify the benefit this would bring to the City.
Following the discussion, the City Council directed staff to return with information on the financial impact this change would cause all non-profit organizations for use of City facilities, and to review the gymnasium fee schedule at a subsequent City Council meeting.
Minutes January 23, 2024 Vol. 54 Pg. 10

Community Services Supervisor Sauceda provided a report regarding the expansion of the Street Light Banner Program for college-bound high school graduates to include Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD). Supervisor Sauceda discussed the history of the program and its purpose to encourage secondary education and showcase student achievement in the community. The proposed expansion would include 25 graduates from AUHSD who reside in the City of Buena Park and attend one of the following high schools: Cypress, John F. Kennedy, Oxford Academy, Savanna, and Western.
