SUMMARY
City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") between the City and the Chula Vista Youth Sports Council ("YSC") on September 18, 2012. The MOU identified each party's intentions for the provision of supplemental athletic field maintenance in designated City parks, and how those supplemental field maintenance services would be provided and funded. The initial MOU carried a term of approximately twelve months, and expired on June 30, 2013. The City and the YSC have mutually agreed to enter into another MOU with a term of twelve (12) months with an option to extend the MOU for another year upon mutual consent.
