F8
The failure to reach agreement has been at issue for more than a year. Conclusions C-1. The primary reason for not meeting the dates for a budget was the objection of the County to a 50-50 apportionment on costs. The objection results from the fact that the County uses less of the gyms features and for less time than the School District. (F-2, F-3) C-2. The Master Scheduling Calendar was not completed as required by the agreement until well into the school year due to the objection of the County to a 50-50 apportionment of costs. (F-2, F-4) C-3. The negotiating parties have reached unofficial agreements. No official modification has been voted on, by the Board of Supervisors and the El Rio School Board since no written agreement has been provided. (F-5) C-4. The inability of the parties involved to reach an agreement has put the availability to prospective users, i.e. the children of Ventura County, at risk. Recommendations
