The agreement is <br />necessary in order to apply for State matching funds. The application deadline is <br />September 16. The application will be seeking $15,000 from the State. The School <br />District will provide $5,000 and the City $10,000. Council adoption of the agree- <br />ment commits the City to appropriate the necessary funds in its 1978 budget. The <br />Staff has included funding for the project in the capital expenditures proposed to <br />be funded by the Revenue Sharing Fund. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that about one year ago the Edgewood tennis <br />courts were resurfaced but that the people involved in the project were not experienced <br />with this type of work and did not have the expertise to carry out the job.

She <br />stated that the City is paying 30% of the 50% the federal government does not <br />pay, yet the school will have their say on when they want it and so forth. <br />Administrator Achen stated that he had similar concerns when reading over the agree- <br />ment, that the City is footing the larger end of the bill, yet is only being given <br />the time on the courts that the school does not want. He stated that it was a duty <br />of the Park and Recreation Director to determine the hours of use with the school <br />and determine rights. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that the schools generally take issue that if they <br />need something, they get it, rather than the community. <br />Mayor Pickar stated that the agreement reads that it shall be in effect until the <br />school decides the land is needed for some other purpose. Thus, the City is stuck <br />
