TRUSSVILLE The Trussville City Council met on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021, and approved a draft of an agreement with the school system on facility usage.
The reciprocal use agreement with Trussville City Schools gives Mayor Buddy Choat the directive to oversee the implementation of and compliance with the agreement.
The agreement states that schools have priority use of school facilities and the city has priority use of city facilities. However, the two entities would agree to “memorialize their longstanding informal reciprocal use agreement in writing to facilitate better understanding of each party’s role in the continued relationship between the parties and to organize, to promote, and to conduct programs and activities that further the education, health and general welfare of the community,” as part of the agreement.
