Narrative:
Aircraft X was handed by grr approach to azo approach via the ARTS in a climbing mode to their filed altitude of ten thousand. By letter of agreement; aircraft may be in a climbing or descending mode but must be at their assigned altitude prior to crossing the common airspace boundary between the two facilities. In this situation aircraft X could be climbing to his assigned altitude of ten thousand as long as the grr controller ensured the aircraft crossed the common boundary at ten thousand unless the grr controller apreq (approval requested) the aircraft climbing to ten thousand. The grr controller failed to do either one; ensured the aircraft crossed the common boundary at ten thousand or apreq the aircraft climbing to ten thousand. Recommendation; this is a common thing that goes on with a lot of the grr controller/supervisors...they don't feel that they need to follow the rules/letters of agreements outlined by the agency.
