MINUTES City Council Nov. 23, 1988 Little Canada El ementar•y School Addition (Cont.l happen if the School Distr•ict decides to sell the Little Canada Elementar•y School facility. Fahey pointed out that as part of the City's participation in the pr•oject, the School Distr~ict will enter into an agreement with the City pr•oviding for a 5 percent declining balance for~ each year after~ the impr•ovements are made. If the School facilities ar~e no longer• available for City use, the School Distr•ict will have to r•eimburse the City for~ the r~emaining balance of the City's cost. Blesener• pointed out that the City takes the risk of other recreational programs having declining participation, for example, softball usage may decline in the next sever~al years. LaValle pointed out that the Recreation Director does not see the need for• the showers and locker rooms. LaValle stated that he was also concerned that the building may not be available to the City in the future. Scalze again pointed out the comments of the Recreation Director, Park Commission Chairman, and Park Commission itself on the issue and the fact that ther~e are three other facilities within the City which have showers and locker rooms. Scalze felt that at least one of these facilities would be available for City use in the future, even if all were not. Scalze r~eported that she previously voted on the motion for City par•ticipation in the project only because it included the storage space. Fahey felt that the previous motion should be r•econsider•ed. LaValle asked if the City does not par~ticipate in the shower•s and locker• rooms, if the City could still have storage space in the school. John Thein replied that this would be a School Board decision. Thein repor•ted that the School Board is supportive of the plan as it is pr•esented now. Fahey pointed out that the School District has indicated that they will start char•ging for• use of school facilities. Fahey commented that while the charge is nominal at this time, it could be increased in the futur~e.
