MINUTES <br />City Council <br />March 9, 1988 <br />Davison asked what the City would pursue at Capitol View besides <br />the pool that is not available at the Middle School. Davison asked <br />if facilities are scarce because the City is competint~ with Roseville <br />for~ use of facilities. <br />Fahey stated that the City has to consider~ whether~ a full-sized gym <br />is needed. <br />Collova pointed out that the City of Roseville needs gym space. <br />Scalze pointed out that the City of Little C~;nada has first choice <br />of using facilities at the Middle School. <br />Mor~el an r~epor•ted that the Ci ty i s cur~r~ently usi ng faci 1 iti es at the <br />P9iddle School two nights per~ week. <br />Fahey asked if it would be possible to fully utilize the facilities <br />at the Middle School and not meet the City's needs. <br />Mor~elan did not believe the City would outgr•ow the facilities at <br />the Middle School building. <br />Julie Car•dinal pointed out that the Middle School is not available <br />5 nights per~ week as ther•e ar•e school activities in the evening also. <br />Wehr~le stated that he was in favor~ of shar•ed facilities, but was <br />concer•ned with the differ•ent facilities that have been closed by <br />the School District. Wehr•le suggested that if the City par•ticipate <br />in the cost of a full-sized gym onto Little Canada School, ther~e be <br />an agr•eement that the City could r~etain use of the gym even if the <br />school wer~e closed. However~, Wehr•le stated that his fir•st pr•efer~ence <br />was use of facilities at the Middle School. <br />Fenlon suggested that an agr•eement as outlined by Wehr~le would make <br />a building unsalable to the School Distr•ict. <br />Zoch suggested that r~ather~ than consider• an addition onto the <br />City Center•, the City consider• moving over~ to the Capitol View <br />site. <br />Scalze also pointed out the situation in White Qear• and attempts to <br />fund a pool facility. Scalze also pointed out that the community <br />center• at Fair•view is not r~eadily available to senior•s in Little <br />Canada because of the distance involved. Scalze also pointed out <br />that the bulk of swimming lessons are held at Fairview and the distance <br />Little Canada r•esidents have to go for• this activity. <br />Fahey felt that all these issues needed to be addr•essed by the <br />Cit.y's Recr•eation Committee in mor~e detail. Fahey also pointed out <br />the joint wor•kshop that would be held tomor•r•ow evening with the <br />Planning Commission to discuss the possible expansion of the City's <br />Public zoning to include secondar~y and pr•ivate schools. <br />Page -6- <br />
