months of use commencing as of August 1 of each year (the
“Annual Schedule”).
Subject to the District’s and City’s Unilateral Schedule
Change Right set forth in Section 1.1.2.5 below, the District
and City will identify no less than 90 minutes per day
Monday through Friday between 8:00AM and 4:00PM for
Bezos Academy use of the Premises.
1.1.2.5Bezos Academy acknowledges that the District and City are
constrained in their ability to grant exclusive access to the
Playground to Bezos Academy based on their operational needs,
legal and contractual requirements, and that the City and District
may therefore require a scheduling adjustments to the Annual
Schedule. Such out of cycle adjustment shall be known as the
District’s and City’s “Unilateral Schedule Change Right.” In
implementing any Unilateral Schedule Change Right the District
and City shall acknowledge Bezos Academy’s preschool’s
AGENDA ITEM #7. b)
Page 4 of 18
Meadow Crest Playground MOU
educational, community, and licensing needs and shall only
implement such right subject to the following procedures:
the District and/or City will notify Bezos Academy no later than
May 1 each year of the times that are available for Bezos
Academy students to access the Playground. Once established
each year, specific times provided to Bezos Academy for
playground usage each year will not be changed unless:
The District and/or City shall first send Bezos Academy a
written notice as provided in Section 4 indicating that a
potential exercise of the Unilateral Schedule Change Right
may occur.
Thereafter, the District and/or City shall then approach
Bezos Academy personnel to discuss the District’s or City’s
need for a revision of the Bezos Academy exclusive access
period and determine whether an alternative mutual
agreement regarding a changed schedule can be reached.
If a mutual agreement between Bezos Academy and the
District and/or the City is reached, Bezos Academy and the
Party modifying their time will notify the other party in
writing and the Bezos Academy exclusive access will be
changed as set forth therein, with a stated effective date.
Neither Bezos Academy, the City nor the District may
change time designated for the City’s or District’s use
without written approval of the impacted party.
If Bezos Academy and the party exercising a Unilateral
Schedule Change Right cannot reach agreement, the
exercising Party may unilaterally alter the Bezos Academy
exclusive use schedule by written notice to Bezos Academy
and the other party.
In exercising the Unilateral Schedule Change Right, the
District and City shall (1) preserve the need by Bezos
Academy for a minimum of 90 minutes of use per day
Monday through Friday during the hours of 8 AM to 4 PM;
and (2) use good faith efforts to best accommodate Bezos
Academy needs as expressed during the Parties’ discussions
hereunder.
For purposes of clarity and avoidance of doubt, Bezos Academy
expressly acknowledges that the procedures in this Section 1.1.2.5
apply only to the District’s and City’s Unilateral Schedule Change
Right and specifically not to the District’s and City’s setting of the
Annual Schedule.
AGENDA ITEM #7. b)
Page 5 of 18
Meadow Crest Playground MOU
1.1.2.6 Bezos Academy may also unilaterally relinquish one or more of its
exclusive access periods by providing at least thirty (30) days’
written notice to the other Parties hereto of the dates and times of
the relinquished access. Any relinquished times will be considered
permanently released by Bezos Academy and neither the District
nor the City shall be obligated to return the released time in any
subsequent Annual Schedule. The relinquished time will be
allocated to either the City or the District as otherwise provided in
the ILA and the schedule set forth in 1.1.2.1 through 1.1.2.3 will be
deemed amended accordingly.
1.1.2.7The Parties acknowledge that facilitating the various uses of the
Premises by the Parties will take ongoing collaboration,
communication, and partnership. To that end, the Parties agree to
meet not less than annually, or if requested by any other party
quarterly, to discuss issues that have arisen regarding this MOU
and to assess whether the Parties’ rights and obligations with
respect to the Premises should be adjusted to better meet the
collective needs of the Parties.
1.1.3 For purposes of this MOU, a party has “control” over the Premises when it
or its students have exclusive access to the Premises by the terms of this
MOU, except that the City has “control” over the Premises when the
general public has access of the Premises, when a third-party user other
than Bezos Academy is scheduled for the Premises by the City, or when the
Premises are closed.
1.1.4 Where a party has control at the start of the day (8:00 AM), that Party will
be responsible for unlocking the gate and the restroom facility. Where a
party has control ending at the close of the day (which generally occurs at
Dusk unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 1.1.5 or applicable
City park rules), that party will be responsible for locking the gate and
restroom facility. If the close of the day is moved earlier by operation of
Section 1.1.5, the party with control at the new close of the day will be
responsible for locking the gate and restroom facility. (For example, if per
Section 1.1.5 the Parties mutually agree the Premises will close at 4:30 PM
for a particular day, and Bezos Academy has control through 4:30 PM on
that day, Bezos Academy will lock the gate and restroom facility.)
1.1.5 If the City determines that there is a day or time period during which
there is not a reasonable period of time for third-party user access or
public access after the District’s and Bezos Academy’s schedule d use,
the City will provide Bezos Academy or last scheduled user with at least
AGENDA ITEM #7. b)
Page 6 of 18
Meadow Crest Playground MOU
twenty four hours’ prior written notice that the playground will close
after their scheduled use and the last scheduled user will lock the gate
and restroom facility after its scheduled use .
1.1.6 To provide notice during times of its exclusive use of the Premises, Bezos
Academy may place a sandwich board or similar temporary cover over
existing City signage addressing hours of use at the Premises. Bezos
Academy may only place such temporary signage over the City sign during
Bezos Academy use periods and Bezos Academy must remove the
temporary signage immediately following the end of such period. If Bezos
Academy Signage covers the City’s signage, it should specify the time the
Premises is scheduled to reopen to use by the general public.
1.2 Maintenance and Repair of Playground (Reference: Section 12 of the ILA)
1.2.1 Where a party has control of the Playground at the start of the day,
that party’s personnel shall begin the morning by walking the Premises,
picking up and/or removing litter, performing a visual safety check of
the Playground, the Playground equipment, and the restroom, to
informally view whether anything is visibly damaged, broken or
vandalized, and to ensure that the bathroom is appropriately stocked
with paper products, and is in clean and operable condition. The
District and Bezos Academy shall also be responsible during their
respective use times for ensuring that there are no dangerous or
foreign objects in or on the Playground, its equipment, or in the
restroom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by a party to notice
or observe visual damage or hazardous conditions, whether latent or
otherwise, during such visual review of the Premises, does not make
the party liable to any other party or any other person whatsoever, nor
does such review constitute a representation, warranty, or certification
to any other Party or person regarding the safety, suitability, or
condition of the Premises. Any such inspection is for the purposes of
relaying noticeable maintenance or repair needs to the City. If Bezos
Academy or the District observes, during its visual review of the
Premises, that a condition exists requiring the attention of the City,
such party will promptly notify the City.
1.2.2 The City is responsible for the following:
1.2.2.1 City personnel shall perform routine Playground, play
equipment, and Playground restroom facility maintenance
for the duration of this MOU.
AGENDA ITEM #7. b)
Page 7 of 18
Meadow Crest Playground MOU
1.2.2.2 City shall perform Playground safety inspections at
reasonable intervals determined by City and consistent with
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines
and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials )
standards applicable to playground maintenance and
applicable law.
1.2.3 Notwithstanding other terms herein, any party hereto may request the
City perform such further inspections of the Premises in order to evaluate
the condition and safety of the Premises. If performed, payment for such
inspections shall be addressed through cost sharing agreements between
the District and City in the ILA. If a party shall discover a condition or
conditions on the Premises that it determines to be defective or unsafe,
such party shall post specific warnings identifying the danger or the
hazardous condition, and take such further steps as it deems necessary to
mitigate such condition or conditions. If the party discovering such
condition or conditions determines, in its sole judgment, that it is
necessary to close the playground, the Parties authorize such closure and
such further actions as may be necessary to prevent access to the Premises
or a portion thereof. In all cases, the party that discovers any defective or
unsafe conditions shall promptly notify the other Parties thereof and any
and all repairs necessary to restore the Premises shall be coordinated
and/or performed by the City. Any portion of the Premises closed due to
defective equipment or hazardous conditions shall remain closed until
such portion of the Premises is safe to reopen for use. Nothing in this MOU
shall be construed to require the City or District to replace, repair, or
reopen equipment that is defective or hazardous. The timing and extent
of performance of repairs and replacements are subject to availability of
funds and materials and the City’s and District’s regular capital facilities
budgeting and planning processes.
1.3 Consideration for Use of Premises. Commencing on the date Bezos Academy’s school
opens to students, Bezos Academy shall pay to the District and the City each a monthly
fee for use of the Premises in recognition of its exclusive use of the Premises, the
District and City funded improvements thereon, and the District and City maintaining
responsibility for maintenance of the Premises. The fees (which will be pro-rated for
partial months if applicable) are as follows:
1.3.1 City Fee. The monthly fee to the City shall be $100.
1.3.2 School District Fees. The monthly fee to the District will equal the sum total

Page 8 of 18
Meadow Crest Playground MOU

adopted as a part of the District’s then-current Facility Rental Handbook & Fee
Schedule, which is currently available at this URL:
https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1661442420/rentonschoolsus/mwoc8v9
haijh7em1syqp/facility-rental-fee-schedule.pdf (the “Facilities Handbook”). The
District’s hourly charges will be limited to Bezos Academy’s exclusive use times in
the Annual Schedule that fall between 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM, Monday – Thursday on
days the School District is in session (which are the times the District is currently
authorized to exclusively use the Premises under the ILA).
(2) A $25.00 per month fee for use of the non-Playground portion of the
Premises including the restroom facilities, with such fee adjusted annually by the
IPD inflation rate for Washington state.
The District’s fees in Section 1.3.2(1) are subject to the following additional
provisions:
(A) Bezos Academy will be recognized as a Level 3 – Out of District Nonprofit
user unless Bezos Academy is able to demonstrate that 50% or more of its
student body resides within the Renton School District’s existing
boundaries, currently available at this URL:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1yNOUMuMme3JKn -
XOAUDIZczCHgiucHMu&ll=47.49825864657438%2C-
122.16463002668127&z=12
In such case, the District will recognize Bezos Academy as a Level 2 – In-
District Nonprofit user for purposes of the monthly fee schedule applicable
to the Bezos Academy use. For purposes of demonstrating Level 2 user
group status, Bezos Academy may provide the District with written
certification of student addresses (without identifying information) in
January and July of each year, and within ten (10) days of any request made
by the District. For purposes of explanation only, the certification provided
in January will establish the Level 2 user status through the following July
unless an intervening report provided upon request of the District
demonstrates otherwise. Bezos Academy is not required to provide
student names as part of the demonstration required under this paragraph
and it may take reasonable steps to protect student address information,
such as stating partial instead of full addresses (for example, “2XXX 43 rd
Street, Unit XX, Renton, WA” instead of “2143 43rd Street, Unit 12, Renton,
WA”).

other calculation) showing how it determined the fee with each monthly
invoice.

fee at the Bezos Academy school’s opening date, with payments from
