Background: Junior University of San Bernardino, Inc. (JU) is a non-profit community theater organization that provides and opportunity for local youth to learn about, and participate in, all aspects of musical theater. The focus of JU is to provide an educational environment, along with a professional quality production, to increase the awareness of the importance of the arts in our community. The organizations high quality productions draw hundreds of families to the Bowl each year, who patronize the City's local restaurants and businesses. Created in San Bernardino in 1964, Junior University began using Roosevelt Bowl for its summer shows in 1965. Prior to the 2009 season, JU made an annual request for a fee waiver, which was regularly granted without protest. Although staff is unable to locate documentation, Patsy Dixon, the widow of Junior University's founder Billy Dixon, recounts a longstanding agreement between JU and the City for a$1 per year rental agreement that was paid annually by her late husband. Junior University has provided considerable maintenance and repair of the Bowl since the mid 1980's, relieving the City of related costs. The maintenance and repair provided by the Organization includes replacing the roofing materials, upgrading the electrical transformer and electrical distribution systems, replacing protective fencing and gates, replacement of cracked and uneven concrete, remodeling of restroom and dressing room areas, painting and general building maintenance. Staff is recommending that the City enter into a one year agreement with Junior University, beginning May 1, 2010 and ending on April 30, 2011. After the initial year, and upon written mutual agreement by both parties, the City Manager may renew the agreement three times for terms up to three years per extension. The limited terms will provide the City and JU an opportunity to meet regularly to discuss any needed modifications or concerns. The Agreement will allow JU to continue to utilize and manage the Roosevelt Bowl without fee or deposit for their annual productions. In return, the Organization aggress that not less than 10% of it annual Excess Revenues (as defined in the Agreement) will be spent on maintenance, repairs and improvements to the Bowl. Auditions and rehearsals for this year's production of Robin Hood have commenced. Performances will run Tuesday — Sunday from July 23rd thru August 7th. Show times and tickets are available, and admission for both Tuesday night performances is free in conjunction with the San Bernardino Farmers Fair and Market Night. Recommendation: Adopt resolution.
