MINUTES Cit,y Council ~lovember 9, 1988 Little Fahe.y aar•eed. Canada Elementar~y Scalze pointed out that at the November 23r~d Council meeting, the School School District will be presenting costs for~ the addition of shower•s and lockers (Cont.) as well as City storage space within the School. Scalze stated that if it is the thinking of the Council that the addition of these improvements to the School hy the City would be paid for from the Par~k Development Fund, then she felt the Par•k Commission should review the pr~oposal and make a recommendation. Fahey stated that he saw no other sour•ce of money for• funding the improvements other• than the Park Development Fund. Fahey asked if Sr.alze had any ideas for funding the improvements. Scalze stated that her only concern was that if Par•k Development Funds are to be used, that the expenditur•e be appr•oved by the Par•k Commission. Blesener stated that he was not sur•e wher•e else the mone,y would come from. Blesener~ stated that he was not in favor of the money coming fr~om the Gener~al Fund. Blesener pointed out that the Cit,y is in the position of having the Park Dedication Fund r•efunded. Fahey pointed out tne substantial donations being made to the Par~k Dec!ication Fund, and felt the projected rate of contributions would be sufficient to recover the funds spent on the shower~ and storage space improvements. Blesener and Fahey reported that they met with r~epresentatives of the Schobl Distr•ict along with Collova on the r~evisions to the School addition plans that wer•e discussed at the Council's special meeting. Blesener presented the revised plans to the Council and gener~al public and described these plans in detail. Blesener infor•med the gener•al public that the School Distr•ict came to the City and asked if the City was inter•ested in participating in the addition to the School by funding the impr•ovement of showers and locker rooms. At the Special Meetina held to discuss the pr•oposal, the City came up with the idea of storage space that could be used for the City's gymnastics pr~ogram. Blesener~ repor•ted that since that special meeting, Diane Husak, Assistant Recreation Director, has determined that R16 square feet of storage area is needed for the gymnastics equipment. However, the School Distr•ict is pr~oposing a storage r•oom appr•oximately 9 feet by 23 feet, or a little over 200 square feet. Blesener also reported that the School District's architect and Roger 4lorner• have suggested that the City could, use the staae area for• its gymnastics program, pointing out the limited use that the School would put the stage to. Gymnastics equipment could. be left up in a per~manent position and would only need to be taken down when the School needed the use of the stage. Page -11-
