r~rNUTEs <br />City Council <br />November 2, 1989 <br />lockers ar•e pr•oposed. Then, in the futur•e, if it is deter•mined shower•s <br />and lockers ar~e necessar•y, this area could be conver•ted. <br />Thein stated. that he is not sur•e if the District is interested in mor•e <br />space for~ stor•age, however, he was sur•e that the Distr•ict was open to <br />anything the City might want to pr•opose. <br />LaValle pointed out that the west end of the buildings could be squared <br />off to provide stor~age ar•ea. LaValle asked what this r.ost ~~ould be. <br />Thein did not know. <br />Fahey suggested that perhaps the City should offer~ to pay 50% of the <br />cost of showers and locker•s with the School Distr•ict picking up the <br />other 50%. Fahey s~aggested that the City would cover• the cost of <br />additional storage space. <br />Thein pointed out that the School District is up against the wall with <br />r~egard to dollars, pointed out that its available money is earmar~ked <br />for• the building addition. For the School Distr•ict to picl< up 50% <br />of the cost of the shower•s, the academic por•tion of the addition would <br />have to be r•ed.uced. Thein pointed out that the r•emocieling of the <br />existing school building will be funded fr~c~m the District's capital <br />outlay budget. <br />Thein stated that if the issue of shower•s and locker~s can be wor~ked out, <br />that is gr•eat, however•, they ar~e not an absolute necessity to the facility. <br />Nadeau asked if storage space could be added under the stage ar•ea. <br />Thein r~epor•ted that ther•e is some space there now. However, for• a storage <br />room und.er the stage, this issue was addr~essed and the ar•chitect had <br />numer•ous r•easons against. <br />Fahey suggested that the issues be r•eviewed at a public hear•ing. <br />The City Cler•k pointed out that since the School District would be the <br />only benefited par~ty in the outside impr•ovements that they ar•e requesting <br />the City bond for, the School Distr~ict can waive the public hear•ing. <br />The Cler•k also pointed out that if a bond sale is under• $300,000 it is <br />a negotiated bond sale. <br />Fahey stated that his position was to put the showers in as well as the <br />additional stor•age space for gymnastics equipment. Fahey pointed out <br />that the Capital View property has been sold and the City cannot <br />pr•edict the futur•e with regar~d to other• school facilities within the <br />City. <br />Mor•elan felt that the need for~ showers should be analyzed. Mor~elan <br />stated that his position was that the shower•s are not needed. Mor•elan <br />pointed out that the youth programs do not r•equir•e shower~s, and shower•s <br />are not used by the women's pr•ogr~ams. It is only a percentage of the <br />male r~ecr•eation participants that will use showers. Morelan pointed out <br />Page -8- <br />
