Galesburg City Council on Monday approved a facility use agreement with District 205.
A similar agreement has been in place for a long time, that allows the City to use various school gyms for programs while District 205 can use various City facilities for school functions.
The biggest change is with respect to the maintenance of the tennis courts at Galesburg High School.
This agreement provides for ongoing maintenance responsibility. Currently, City Manager Todd Thompson says the agreement is unclear when it comes to things like replacing lights and mending fences.
Thompson says the City sees this as an effort to be cooperative partners with District 205.
Thompson says the District has plans in the near future to replace the tennis courts surface.
Alderman Dwight White says this is a “great collaboration” between the City and District 205, as they work together to “improve and maintain” neighborhoods.
