• Chuck Whiting Page 2 August 29, 1997 that will be supervising the building. It was suggested that in order to keep building supervision costs lower, that Parks and Recreation office staff move to the community center so that they can provide daytime supervision, Mondays through Fridays during regular office hours. Suggestions were also given to the architects for outdoor recreation facilities. The group suggested sand volleyball courts, basketball courts, and grassy area that could be used as a concerts in the park area or picnic area- for sitting and socializing outdoors on nice days. Finally, it was decided that a public informational meeting should be held Monday, September 15 to review the new design with the suggested recommendations listed above. OPERATIONS: Operating budget was discussed and Administrator Whiting expressed his concern that the Community Center do better than just break even. Two options for supervision of the building was presented with these costs included in an overall operations budget. The first option presumes that the Parks and Recreation staff moves to the Community Center to provide daytime supervision of the building. The second option presumes that a person would be hired to provide • daytime supervision. Both options include evening and weekend supervision plus custodial services. Additional supervision of special events such as rental activities would be paid by fees. Option 1 breaks even and option 2 runs into deficit. The group suggested that staff provide daytime supervision to reduce the need for additional staff during daytime hours Monday through Fridays. This requires office areas to be put into the design of the building. •
