Council OKs special-use deal with schools to secure year-round facilities for municipal programs

The council voted to authorize staff to execute a special-use agreement between the Town of Brownsburg and the Brownsburg Community School Corporation covering Oct. 1, 2026–Sept. 30, 2027.

Amber Lane summarized the agreement, saying it ‘‘secures year round, guaranteed access, locks and scheduling for municipal programs, including designated pool hours, time designated at the Harris Gym, the Field House, summer program spaces, and a structured pathway to district wide gym access.’’ Lane said the arrangement eliminates rental fees for community programs but commits the town to pay direct incremental costs such as custodial care and program staffing. Councilors emphasized the town must identify instructors and operational resources before certain programs begin; Amber said some programs (for example, aquatics) will not start until staff or instructors are in place, while open-gym activities could begin sooner.

Council moved, seconded and authorized staff to execute the agreement during the meeting.
