MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Ad~~' <br />August 12, 2002 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Other Business <br /> <br />Item 7. <br /> <br />There is one item I'd like to discuss with the City Council under Other Business. This item is <br />the school facility use policy. As you know, the school is changing its policy so that any <br />entity charging the school rent will in turn get charged rent by the school for use of their <br />facilities. A simple solution to this issue for the city is to not charge the school rent for use <br />of Lions Park Center. The same should apply for reserving and using the city parks and park <br />shelters, although these city fees are not technically called rent. I have put a call in to Charlie <br />Blesener but have not heard back regarding whether or not the school is concerned about all <br />of the fees, regardless if it is called rent, or whether they are just concerned with Lions Park <br />Center. (The LPC building supervision fee will remain in place for the school.) <br /> <br />If nothing changes it seems inevitable that numerous city recreation programs that are held <br />in schools and which require gymnasiums will not be able to be held in the future based on <br />the high fees that would be required. The alternatives include the school offer these <br />programs if they are willing or to offer these programs at a much higher rate and see if there <br />is any interest. <br /> <br />Above and beyond the school rent/city rent issue, there are other public facility questions <br />that need to be dealt with between the school and the city. These include the school use of <br />Oak Knoll city soccer fields, the school ski team and cross-country team use of Woodiand <br />Trails Park and the management of Handke Pit for winter activities. <br /> <br /> <br />
