Q The commission considered a RAHS request for use of the courts for use by the high school teams during the following times: <br /> unity Park tennis <br /> Boys Team: Sept. 6 to mid October, 1994 <br /> 2:15 -4:30 P.M. for practice (until 5:30 P.M. on meet days) <br /> Girls Team: April 1 to June 1, 1994 <br /> 2:15 -4:30 P.M. for practice (until 5:30 P.M. on meet days) <br /> The request is an effort to find alternative tennis courts for the teams as the <br /> impending construction at the high school will cause the tennis courts to be <br /> unavailable. While discussion indicated a level of sympathy and concern for the high <br /> school teams' predicament, there was also a concern for the potential impact on <br /> tennis court availability for the community. Of particular concern was the impact on <br /> the jr. high /young adult users who don't have access to transportation that would <br /> enable them to travel to another site. <br /> Steve Schugal made the point that a potential long term community -wide benefit <br /> would arise from this arrangement as it would likely result in the refurbishing of the <br /> four tennis courts at Fairview Community Center which are currently in very poor <br /> condition. Those courts would then be available to better serve the community for <br /> future years. <br /> In regard to the rental fee issue, it was agreed that it was important to confirm the <br /> school district's policy /history of fee charging for rental of district owned courts to <br /> neighboring cities as the city's policy is to charge the district's own prevailing rental <br /> rates for comparable facilities. <br /> The commission voted unanimously, with one abstention, to accommodate the RAHS <br /> request. They did so with the contingency being that the district be responsible for <br /> the production and posting of a quality sign to be located at the site as a convenience <br /> to users. The sign shall include: <br /> Hours of school use <br /> Brief explanation indicating that the arrangement is temporary <br /> Listing of alternative courts in area <br /> It was also suggested that staff take measures to inform the community of the <br /> arrangement by way of the city newsletter and local papers. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Carol Kriegler <br /> Parks Rec Director <br />
