--- - - - -----°-- - -- __ . - -._-- - - -- 1.. ---T -- 79 Mayor Bury felt that at the next joint session of Council with Planning Commission, it might be an appropriate time to establish a policy . Council- man Petersen indicated each application should be considered on its own merits . Councilman Henderson moved to reverse the Planning Commission and deny the application for exception to the Subdivision Ordinance , seconded by Councilman Williams and carried on roll call vote , Councilmen Henderson , Petersen, Rhodes , Williams and Mayor Bury voting yes , and Councilmen Keckley and Weymouth voting no , (MINUTE ORDER #71- 54 ) Fee Schedules , Community Activities Building and Veterans Memorial Building . Report had been submitted to Council on February 22 , 1971 . Action had been postponed to permit time to circulate information on fee schedules to regular users of the buildings . Communications protesting increases had been received from Woodmen of the World ; Native Daughters of the Golden West , Bonita Parlor No . 10 ; Robin Hood Circle 517 , Neighbors of Woodcraft , and were provided to Council . Councilman Henderson felt in view of several questions from individuals , she did not feel prepared to set new fee schedules without more substantiation for the need to do so . Mr . James Schoffa , Redwood City , advised that his group , Millmen ' s Union Local 42 , part of the Carpenterst Union, met once a month in one of the buildings , and had been paying $10 . 00 per meeting . They felt if the rate was increased , it would be necessary to go elsewhere . Mayor Bury noted that the size of the rooms has a bearing on the rates . James Knecht , Park and Recreation Commissioner , and Chairman of the Subcommittee , reported they had held a number of meetings , and attempted to make the two buildings comparable in rental rate schedules . During the time Mrs . Thompson was Chairman, priorities for the CAB were worked out , and groups were listed . Recommendation was made that operation of both buildings be under the Recreation Department . It was also felt that rates charged for use of the Veterans Memorial Building were far too low . He advised that rate schedule was set also in attempt to discourage small groups of three or four people from using the large rooms , and that there are facilities for small groups with lesser rates . Doris Thompson, 49 Elwood , Park and Recreation Commissioner , indicated they hoped the building could be used to better capacity and more fairly . Both buildings were comparable , and should have corresponding rates , and this was what they attempted to do . It was also felt the rates were not keeping pace with the times . In discussion , Council suggested the problem might be with the scheduling of groups for proper sized rooms , rather than with rates .
