Project Description The City's Corporation Yard is located at the end of Edes Court adjacent to prime recreation facilities such as Community Park, the Centennial Recreation Center, and the skate park. The Corporation Yard is part of a 6 acre fully improved facility shared by the City's Public Works, Community Services, and Police Departments and the Morgan Hill Unified School District Transportation yard. The School District leases approximately 4 acres of the site from the City for bus parking, maintenance, and transportation office space. For most of the remaining site, the traditional City Corporation Yard houses the maintenance personnel, equipment, and material that provide utilities services and streets and parks maintenance services. The facility is made up of office space, training room space, interior and exterior materials storage bays, fleet parking, and the command and control center for the utilities operations. The City commissioned a Corporation Yard Master Plan in 2003 and it determined that the site currently used for the traditional yard activities will not suffice for the (at the time) 20-year horizon. Given that the School District is seeking a new transportation Yard and that both the School District and the City have expressed an interest in sharing a Corporation Yard on a long term basis, the need for a new Corporation Yard is present. The first step in finding a suitable site for the joint corporation yard is to perform a needs and space assessment for both agencies. In FY 16/17 a space needs assessment will be conducted with both agencies sharing in the cost. The City will take the lead on the study and collaborate with the School District.
