-3- <br /> In addition to the data and the figures that I have provided you, <br /> the City Council feels very strongly that there has been a strong <br /> • identification with the Edgewood Community Center by the Mounds <br /> View residents, as well as increased usage due to the Community <br /> Education Center. We strongly encourage the Long Term Facility <br /> Usage Task Force to ensure that the following issues are <br /> considered: <br /> Recommendation #1 - We recommend that a minimum of 16 classroom <br /> spaces be allocated for existing community education programs <br /> currently operating within the School District to include general <br /> office space, senior citizens center, computer center, adult <br /> literacy, and early childhood programs. <br /> Recommendation #2 - We recommend that a feasibility study be pre- <br /> pared relating to the concept of establishing a community educa- <br /> tion center within the School District to accomodate the existing <br /> 6 ,000 School District residents per month that attend Community <br /> Education Center programs. <br /> Recommendation #3 - We recommend that the School Board be cogni- <br /> zant and aware of the influence and importance of the 70 - 74 <br /> percent of the School District households that do not currently <br /> have children participating in the K-12 program. And , that the <br /> role of these households is imperative to the success of the K-12 <br /> program and should not be considered as a secondary issue. <br /> • We appreciate the time and energy that you have shared in the <br /> preparation of your report and look forward to responding to any <br /> questions or concerns you may have regarding the City ' s position . <br /> Should you have any specific questions, or desire a tour of the <br /> Edgewood Community Center facility, please feel free to contact <br /> our City' s Park and Recreation Director Bruce Anderson at 784- <br /> 3055 , ext. #20 . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW <br /> Jerry Linke , Mayor <br /> JL/sl <br /> Enclosure <br /> cc: School Board Members <br /> Dr .
