Resolution terminating an Interlocal Agreement, between the City and County (Resolution No. 97-556) to facilitate usage of the Ocean Center and surrounding city public properties for events and outside activities. Fees that would normally be charged and collected for every occurrence were to be charged off to a "trade out account".  This process has worked very well, but both parties now wish to proceed on a pay-as-you-go basis.  This is preferable as the amount of usage by the Police Department has dropped substantially and the County is now passing on the cost of event fees to promoters and the School Board.  The trade out account balance will be zero by September 30, 2011 so its an advantageous time to terminate the agreement.  Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services recommends the termination of the agreement effective September 30, 2011. 

            Recommendation:  Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services
            recommends adoption of the Resolution.
