City Manager Paul Sabiston said during Tuesday's work session some of the fields in the original agreement, which was reached in October of 1982, don't exist.
The original document references use of an indoor pool should one be built and places such as Akers field, Manning field and a track field that was located behind the senior high school.
Councilman Ed Liverman said discussions with school Superintendent Dennis Sawyer indicate a new agreement needs to be drawn.
Parks and Recreation Director John Simeon said redoing the document is important. "We're looking at updating the facilities. The language needs to be changed."
Simeon said he believes a new agreement will also eliminate confusion on use of the facilities by independent softball, baseball and other leagues. "I think that will solve a lot of the issues."
