1- Community Services and was attempting to inform the community that since Parkview is now a community center, the City would probably want 3 to continue to make space available for community activities. He 4 added that he perceived none of this would be contrary to Council 5 intent at this time. 6 When Councilmember Ranallo indicated he perceived the fees charged for 7 softball tournaments, etc. might be too low, Mr. Childs told him all 8 that was necessary was for the Council to direct staff to come back 9 with specific proposals for raises. 10 Soth said he had not seen the document before this evening and was 11 certain he would have a lot of questions which would have to be 12 answered as to what the intent of the document was. 13 Childs told the Council he needed further clarification from them on 14 some issues because he perceived the School Board would not sign off on 15 some of them if changes were made. He pointed out that the document 16 had been drawn up in a process which involved input from 200 and more 17 people who had attended the public hearings on the transfer.

He agreed that #7 should be reworded to state that the City 33 would provide the use of the gymnasium and the cafeteria facilities to 34 such community groups as the Sports Boosters, Civic Orchestra, etc. as 35 long as such facilities are available for rental fees to be negotiated 36 with the City, which would at least cover the City' s cost of 37 maintaining the space. 38 City Costs Enumerated 39 In reference to what the City had to pay for the transfer, Mr. Childs 40 said he had figured it would cost the City $18,000 to construct the 41 parking lot but the school had indicated they didn' t need that lot now 42 and might want to take the money instead. 43 He pointed out that the School Board had only proposed the City begin it discussion of sharing the costs of City/Community Services programs, 18
