At the same time, the parties wish to move toward tighter accounting practices and tighter controls in all of their business relationships. While both parties have been comfortable with a tradition of providing services to each other without charge, to ensure that neither party is inadvertently assuming the costs of supporting the other's activities, the parties agree to the following financial relationship: • At its discretion, either the City or District may bill the other for its services. Any such bill will be only for direct costs. The intent is to neither suffer financially nor profit from providing services to the other party. The expectation is to bill each other based on a best estimate of direct costs. Those estimates are subject to discussion between the City and District. Wherever possible, consideration of ways to reduce costs will be explored. Any change in our billing practices will not be retroactive. To simplify the administration, each party agrees to maintain records of its direct cost for the services it provides to the other. The annual net cost will be reviewed at a School/City Liaison meeting. As determined at that meeting, any amount due to either party may be processed for payment by the other. • The City will continue to receive a second priority status for use of District facilities. The parties agree to work together to find opportunities to raise revenue through rental of the District's facilities for private use.
