P4INUTES City Council Feb. 24, 1988 School Di str•i ct Issues (Cont.) City would participate in the cost of the addition to the school by payi ng for• adul t shower•s. Scalze felt that the City would have to know cost figur•es befor~e it could make such a decision. Collova r•eplied that the gener•al lay-out of the addition needs to be planned befor•e the School Distr~ict can put together• cost figur•es. Blesener~ also commented that the School Distr•ict would like a cooper~ative effor~t between the City and School Distr~ict for• evening super•vision of the school. Scalze noted that the School Distr•ict cur~r•ently pr~ovides evening super•vision of all its facilities. Scalze estimated that the Little Canada School is cur~r•ently used 5 nights per• week and the Distr~ict is pr~oviding the super•vision. Fahey suggested that it will be necessar•y to r•econvene the City's committee that pr•eviously consider•ed the issue of City par•ticipation in the cost of an addition to the School. Blesener~ agr•eed noting that the issues have now changed. The Council discussed the need for a wor•kshop with the committee and r~epr~esentatives of the School Distr~ict. The School Distr•ict could explain its ideas of City involvement in the addition. The Council was unsur~e whether• the School Distr~ict had mor•e in mind than City par•ticipation in the cost of adult shower•s, and felt the School Distr~ict would have to addr•ess the committee on this. Once the School Distr~ict infor•med the Council and committee of its thoughts on the matter•, the Council and committee could deliber~ate the matter•. It was decided that a wor•kshop meeting would be scheduled for• 6:30 P.M. on Wednesday, Mar~ch 9, 1988, prior~ to the r~egular• Council meeting. Fahey instr~ucted the City Cler•k to r•equest Paul Bor~g, or~ another• r•epr~esentative of the School Distr•ict, to attend that meeting. The wor~kshop would also inclu~le those member•s of the committee which pr~eviously studied this issue. Fahey suggested that the Council now consider• the Spooner~ Par•k issue noting that the City is inter~ested in pur~chasing 21.7 acr~es which does not include the ballfield area to the south of the Little Canada Elementar~y School. Fahey suggested that a pur~chase pr~ice of $18,500 per~ acr•e be offer•ed. Fahey noted that this is less than the appr•aised value, but justified given the sale pr~ices of industr~ial land to the nor•th. Fahey noted that the Spooner~ Par~k pr~oper•ty is zoned public and did not feel the City should pay industr•ial pr•ices for~ land whose best use would be r•esidential. Scalze noted that if the Spooner~ Par•k pr•oper•ty wer•e developed pr~ivately, costs of utilities would have to be consider~ed as well. Page -9-
