4. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to negotiate with the Toronto District School Board on an shared-use operating agreement that optimizes the City's capital investment in the new Davisville Junior Public School prior to the release of the funds for construction of phase one funding, noting that the aquatic facility will be owned and operated by Parks, Forestry and Recreation.

Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek City Council approval to work collaboratively with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to create a project to be known as the Davisville Aquatic and Community Recreation Centre currently estimated at approximately $23.942 million.
The project will be delivered in two phases and will be included as part of the 2017 – 2026 Parks, Forestry and Recreation Capital Budget Submission.
Phase 1 will be the commitment to the TDSB of $6.807 million towards the design in 2017 and construction starting in 2018 for the new Davisville Junior Public School in order to facilitate community hub components which include an expanded gymnasium and underground parking in the TDSB portion of the new school. The new 3-storey school design will result in a much smaller footprint and will allow for room on the school's site for the City to construct a Phase 2 city-owned and operated aquatic and community recreation facility approximately 30,000 square feet to expand on the recreation programming already being delivered in the community at the existing school.
Operating costs based on similar-sized recreation facilities are estimated at $0.534 million in 2016. Anticipating completion in 2023, projected operating costs for the new community recreation facility are estimated to be $0.626 million assuming an annual inflation rate of 2 percent.
This is a time-sensitive opportunity as the Province has already approved the funds necessary for the Davisville Junior Public School redevelopment. The TDSB is imminently planning to commence with a Request for Proposal for design in 2016 and requires the City's commitment of $6.807 million in order to consider the 3rd storey design vs the standard 2-storey design.
