Curt Rindy gave a brief summary of the meeting between
the YMCA, Mr. Breeden and himself. He stated that the YMCA
wants the County to build a gymnasium on YMCA property and in
10 or 15 years reimburse the County for the gymnasium. The
County would have priority for the use of the gymnasium and the
YMCA second priority. Mr. Breeden brought to the Board' s attention
that this was not a priority item for the Capital Improvement
Six Year Program and financially the County does not have the
money to construct a gymnasium. Mr. Lloyd suggested Mr. Breeden
write a letter to YMCA stating this fact and that the Board
appreciates their offer of the combined County-wide use but we
are not financially able to help them at this time.
Discussion was held on development of Golden Gate School
4k*-,40 playfield. Mr. Bogatko stated that last year when the County
held ballgames at the Golden Gate Park, problems arose from the
adjacent property owners to the park, of people parking in their
yards and a lot of noise. Mr. Bogatko suggested developing
Golden Gate School to alleviate this problem in the future. It
was decided to place this possible development on the list of
Capital Improvements and given a priority rating of No. 14.
There being no further business , the meeting adjourned
