Ms. Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator, explained that at the August 5th work session, staff was directed to prepare a resolution authorizing the use of the Bel Rae facility for Recreation Programming on an Interim Basis. She noted that an Attachment A to the resolution outlines the proposed programs, dates, times, the employee who would be responsible during the event, and the responsibilities of the assigned employee. She noted that one additional program needs to be added to Attachment A, this being a tot program, which would run from September 26 through December 11th on Mondays from 10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Ms. Hankner asked if anyone did a cross benefit analysis to see where the events would be held. Ms. Bennett briefed the council on where the programs proposed for the Bel Rae facility are currently being held. Ms. Mary Saarion, Director of Parks & Recreation, stated the programs that they feel would be beneficial to hold over at the Bel Rae facility are ones that they typically have to limit in size to avoid overcrowding. These are programs that could serve many, many more people if the space were available. Other programs identified are those that they feel would benefit from the larger space (Karate, Safety Awareness Class). Ms. Hankner asked if anyone had checked to see what additional costs would be incurred by the city in providing usage of the facility such as increased electric costs, insurance costs, etc. Ms. Bennett explained that insurance costs would be the same as what the city currently has on the building. The electricity increase is expected to be very limited, as the city is paying for electricity on the facility now. Ms. Hankner asked if there would be concerns for the Fire Department in the use change of the' building. Mr. whiting noted that staff did review the building uses with the Fire Chief and he okayed them as the programs stand. His main concern was whether or not anything could be considered an obstacle for an exit. None of the uses will affect the application of the fire code. Pam Starr, of the Parks & Recreation Commission was present and explained that the Parks & Recreation Commission had just concluded their meeting prior to the City Council meeting. They felt the programs • as presented would be a great start for the Fall season. It would be a great opportunity to use the facility in
