Background and Analysis:
Bates utilizes the Fire Training Center facility and pays the City of Olympia for that usage. The contract that was in place for the exchange of services expired on 12/31/14, neither party realized the agreement had expired. Bates continued to interact with the City of Olympia after the end of the contract. When it became time to make payments, the oversight was uncovered. Several pending financial transactions were held up by this oversight.
The Term of the agreement you are being asked to approve has been modified to read, "this agreement will commence upon final signature and terminate on 9/30/2014 or upon completion of a superseding document", and "the parties mutually agree that any and all activities covered in this agreement that have taken place since 1/1/2014 shall be covered by this agreement."
The contract is unchanged from the agreement that expired in 2013, other than this language regarding the Term (as detailed above), no other language of a substantive nature has been added.
Both parties have undertaken the project of creating a superseding agreement that will prevent this from happening again.

Approving this agreement allows activities that have already taken place to be financially resolved. Approving this agreement allows for continued use of the Fire Training Center by Bates until a superseding document can be completed. The use of the Fire Training Facility by Bates is a component of the Fire Department's Fire Training Facility Business Plan.
