He explained the joint use agreement <br />which was developed and signed by both the City and the School District to <br />share costs for building and maintaining the site. The lease payment paid by <br />the School District was to be used to pay for the operation of the community <br />center for the first ten to twelve years after completion. The Belmont School <br />District is now looking for alternative ways to complete the project such as <br />down-sizing the facility, putting in modular units, and building the project in <br />phases. Director Griffiths said he was not sure if the City's building standards <br />would allow of the installation of modulars on the site. The Commissioners <br />discussed the fact that in 1987 the Belmont School District sold a piece of <br />property in Redwood Shores for $3.2 million to a private developer for new <br />houses. This property had been given to the Belmont School District by <br />Redwood Shores Inc. for the purpose of building a school in Redwood Shores. <br />Director Griffiths said the Sandpiper Project will be discussed by the City <br />Council in Executive Session on November 27. <br /> <br />ITEM 3 - DISCUSSION OF WORKPLAN PRESENTATION TO CITY <br />COUNCIL <br /> <br />Chairperson Swope reviewed the workplan presentation she made on behalf <br />of the Commission to the City Council. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE REPORTS <br /> <br />-Commissioner Nordness reported that Redwood City International received <br />a generous grant from the Civic Cultural Commission to assist with the two <br />performances of the Chinese delegation in October.
