PIINUTES <br />City Council <br />November~ 9, 1988 <br />Little Scalze asked where the gymnastics equipment could be moved to when the <br />Canada stage was needed by the School. <br />El ementar•y <br />School <br />Blesener pointed out that in addition to the stor•age room proposed, ther•e <br />(Cont.) would be storage for mats under the stage ar~ea and the School District <br /> has also indicated that the City could use the mezzanine area over the <br /> stage and storage r~oom for stor•age. Blesener~ r~eported that there is also <br /> a storage area pr•oposed next to the coach's office that could be used <br /> for• stor•age of some equipment, such as the vault, if need be. <br /> Fahey pointed out that the revised plan shows access to the storage room <br /> from the stage ar•ea, while the original plan showed access to the storage <br /> room from the gym floor. Fahey suggested that access fr•om the gym floor <br /> might be pr•eferable. <br /> Scalze questioned. why City staff was not invited to the meeting with the <br /> School District, pointing out that at the Special Council meeting the <br /> Council decided that the staff should work with the School District on <br /> this matter. <br /> Fahey thought that the School District would be happy to meet with City <br /> staff. <br /> Scalze felt it preferable to have City staff give their input than to <br /> continue to have the ar~chitect dr~aw up new plans. <br />Fahey pointed out that it is not feasible to expect a storage room of <br />816 square feet for~ the City's gymnastics equipment. Ther•efore, it is <br />necessary to look at alter•native ways to resolve the pr•oblem. <br />Scalze asked how much square footage the showers and lockers would take <br />up, feeling that if the gymnastics pr~ogr~am involved a greater number of <br />people, it should be given priority over• shower•s and lockers. Scalze <br />suggested that the issue of shower~s and lockers should be r•ethought. <br />Fahey questioned the need for 816 square feet of storage if it is possible <br />to leave the gymnastics equipment in place on the stage 90 to 95% of the <br />time. Fahey felt it more feasible to pay someone to take the equipment <br />down a couple of times each year• than to pay for 816 square feet of stor~age <br />ar~ea. Fahey also pointed out the availability of the mezzanine area for• <br />storage. <br />Scalze pointed out that the estimate for showers and lockers is $50,000 <br />and felt the money should be used where it effects the greatest amount <br />of people. <br />Blesener r~epor•ted that he has infor•med Jim Mor•elan of the School Distr~ict's <br />revised plans, and Morelan indicated that the plan could wor~k. <br />Scalze stated that she did not believe it was good gover•nment for• three <br />Councilmember~s to meet with the School District and its pr~ofessional staff <br />without the other• two Councilmember~s being invited to the meeting. Scalze <br />also indicated that City staff should. have been invited to the meeting as <br />well. <br />Page -12- <br />
