Taft School in Friendly Acres area was in need of recreational facilities and the members of the Recreation Committee felt that a joint project vri.th the City and Elementary School System in developing this area would be the most economical. Park Supt. Pasco Balzarini submitted cost estimate of $2,131.36 including installation of sprinkler system and 6 months maintenance. City Manager informed the Council in his letter of recommendation that this would include installation of sprinkler system and turfing of approx- imately one acre., portion of first cost and future maintenance to be financed by R. C. Records show that similar arrangements were quite common in other communities and it might be desirable for the City and local school authorities to enter into similar arrangements from time to time in the future to provide maximum of recreational facilities at minimum cost to the public. He suggested a suitable form of mitten agreement, specifying responsibilities and obligations of each party concerned, in order to avoid any possible misunderstandings due to constant changes of both School and City personnel in the future. This would be necessary in order to determine the source and amount of City funds which would be needed immediately, and for annual appropriation which would be required for the City1 s share of future main- tenance and operating costs. There was some objection to this on the grounds that the schools might notalvrays cooperate. It was noted however that play areas were needed for the children. City Manager thought the estimate could be modified. Councilman Royer moved that a committee of two Council members be appointed by the Mayor to meet with City Manager Rolisonp Park Superintendent Balzarini, Red Morton Director of Recreation, the School Authorities and City Attorney Currie to draw up a contract for Council ', approval. Idotion was seconded by Councilman Spillers and carried. Mayor Britschgi appointed Councilman Royer as Chairman and Councilman Spillers.
