MINUTES <br />City Council <br />Nnvember 2, 1988 <br />Scalze asked if the City would be charged for~ use of school facilities. <br />Thein did not believe so. Thein stated that the School District believes <br />that the school is a community school and should be available for community <br />use. <br />Fahey stated that he discussed with the School Superintendent the <br />possibility of a lease agreement giving the City use of the school <br />as long as the building is owned by the School District and used for <br />school purposes. This use would be at no charge if the City par~ticipated <br />in the cost of a shower~ or locker• room facility. <br />Scalze asked if the City would be able to use the gym free-of-charge <br />if it did not agr~ee to put in showers. <br />Thein did not know. <br />Mor~elan r~eported that he has been notified that he will be charged for• <br />use of school facilities this year. <br />Fahey stated that he could foresee this possibility and wanted to foreclose <br />on it. Fahey stated that if the City agrees to install a shower• and <br />locker r•oom, he wanted assur~ance that the City would receive fir•st <br />prior•ity for use of these facilities and that the City would. not be <br />char~ged for• their use. Fahey pointed out that School Boar•ds change as <br />do their~ policies. <br />Mor•elan questioned the demand for the use of the gymnasium facilities <br />proposed at Little Canada School. <br />Fahey pointed out the City's growing population. Fahey did not think <br />the City should let the opportunity go by to make full use of the <br />gymnasium facilities at the Little Canada School. Fahey felt that <br />such a facility would amount to a community center within the City. <br />Scalze suggested that the City consider par•ticipating in the cost of <br />stor~age space at the School that would be used exclusively by the City. <br />Scalze pointed out the growing gymnastics pr•ogram that the City has and <br />the need for• storage space for gymnastics equipment. <br />Scalze asked why the Council was again considering the issue of showers, <br />when a decision had previously been reached on this issue. <br />Fahey pointed out that the Council cannot determine what the futur~e <br />needs of the City are, and felt that the Council wou1d be shor~t-sighted <br />in not installing showers and locker rooms at this time. Fahey stated <br />that he would rather participate in this improvement, than spend a <br />gr•eat deal more money on a community center~ some time in the futur•e. <br />Blesener agreed. <br />Morelan pointed out that there is no demand for• showers fr~om youth. <br />Page -4- <br />
