SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-042 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the
City and Poudre School District for the PSD After 3 Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to authorize the City to enter into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the
Poudre School District. The Agreement sets the terms by which the City of Fort Collins will contract with the
Poudre School District to provide after school and summer enrichment programs for students in six Title I
schools in its school system.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The intergovernmental agreement between Poudre School District (PSD) and the City of Fort Collins outlines
the terms by which the City will provide funding to support the School District’s “PSD After 3” program. “PSD
After 3” is an after school and summer enrichment program for students in six Title I schools in the PSD school
system. Students participating in the program reside in high poverty areas of the community and benefit
socially and academically from the extended learning program. Approximately 720 students in K-5 will receive
services each year. Funding from the City will be used to assist with a portion of the salary and benefits of the
PSD personnel administering the program, transportation costs, and instructional supplies.
The “PSD After 3” program originated from a partnership between the City’s Recreation Department and
Poudre School District and was originally hosted at the Northside Aztlan Community Center. Due to program
growth and logistics, the program activities now occur directly at participating schools. The Recreation
Department has traditionally administered the funding support; however, in 2018 it was recognized by
Recreation leadership that the “PSD After 3” support was better aligned with the strategies and activities of the
Social Sustainability Department. Social Sustainability has agreed to administer the funding and performance
reporting detailed in the IGA with PSD for 2019-2020.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The City will support the PSD after school enrichment program with reimbursements of $75,000 in 2019, and
an additional $75,000 in 2020, for a total of $150,000. These funds are included in the Council approved
allocations in the 2019-2020 City Budget (Budgeting for Outcomes Enhancement Offer 48.1). The City’s Social
Sustainability Department will administer the payments and related reporting requirements.

SECTION 15 TERMINATION
If the Recipient fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City may

(A) Termination for Cause - If the Recipient fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this

its authorized representative within the time specified by same;
11
(3) The Recipient has failed within the time specified by the City or its authorized

this Agreement, and prior to its normal completion, the City may summarily terminate this
Agreement as to the funds reduced or limited, notwithstanding any other termination provision
of this Agreement. If the level of funding so reduced or limited is so great that the City of Fort
Collins deems that the continuation of the program covered by the Agreement is no longer in the
best interest of the public, the City may summarily terminate this Agreement in whole
notwithstanding any other termination provisions of this Agreement. Termination under this
Section shall be effective upon receipt of written notice by the Recipient or its representative.
(D) Remedies
In the event of termination for cause, the City may pursue any remedies available to it at law or
in equity, including, without limitation, damages, specific performance, and criminal remedies.

subcontractor have been resolved to the satisfaction of the City.

this Agreement, to declare the rights of the parties under this Agreement, or which relates to this
Agreement in any manner, the City and the Recipient agree that the proper venue for such action is the
Larimer County, Colorado, District Court. It is mutually understood and agreed that this Agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, both as to interpretation and performance.
SECTION 18 SEVERABILITY CLAUSE
It is understood and agreed by the parties that if any part, term, or provision of this Agreement
is held by the courts to be illegal or in conflict with any law of the state where made, the validity of the
remaining portions or provisions shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall
be construed and enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular part, term, or provision
held to be invalid.

Competitive Process, incorporated by reference, and the Recipient’s presentation before the CDBG
Commission, incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and both
parties acknowledge that there are no other agreements, written or oral, that have not been fully set
forth in the text of this Agreement.
