H.R.A. MEETING 0 OCTOBER 26, 1993 PAGE 3 4 5 6 Vice Chairperson Enrooth felt this recent decision by the 7 School Board to add on to the Wilshire School building is 8 another example of poor communication with city 9 officials. 10 11 It had been understood that there would be parallel 12 discussions regarding the community center and additional 13 classroom space needs before a decision was made. 14 15 Vice Chairperson Enrooth stated this lack of dialogue and 16 communication between the City Council and the School 17 Board has a long history. He finds this regrettable as 18 good communicative efforts would better serve the 19 residents and the school population. 20 21 Chairperson Ranallo observed that an addition to the 22 school, road reconstruction and a new community center 23 cannot all be done at the same time as they were not all 24 affordable together. 25 F- L L Executive Director Burt, as the H.R.A.'s representative, will be meeting with representatives of Springsted, Inc., financial advisors, and representatives of the School 29 Board. 30 31 The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the tax 32 impact of the future projects of both the City and the 33 School District. 34 35 The Alliance firm has prepared all of the pertinent data 36 regarding the impact all three projects may have on 37 taxes. 38 39 The Executive Director also advised that state law 40 prohibits school districts from committing to more than 41 a one year lease on any property they use. 42 43 This comment was relative to the Chairperson's 44 observation regarding the School District's use of space 45 at the community center. 46 47 Commissioner Enrooth felt the School District only needs 48 space in the building to accommodate its day activities 49 and no other programs need to be held in this building. 50 F- L L
