Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) between Nashville Public Library and the Department of Parks and Recreation for the provision of free and high quality out-of-school time programs through the Nashville After Zone Alliance. This MOU was first approved through Resolution No. RS2024-573.
The MOU states that Parks would provide NAZA-funded programs that will align with the Metro Schools calendar and be available to youth Monday through Thursday during the fall and spring semesters on days when Metro Nashville Public Schools are in session. The MOU also provides for summer programs with the Department of Parks and Recreation. The MOU began on July 1, 2024, and is set to expire on June 30, 2025.
The proposed amendment would extend the term of the MOU to June 30, 2026. The grant amount would also be increased by $437,135 from $437,135 to $873,270.
