Fr - AUG 2 0 1986 BOOK 65 f,1 -F IS 7 Commissioner Bird advised that in their discussions, it was agreed that in order for the School Board to get the funds, we might have to deed them the property, but he believed the School Board doesn't want to own the building and possibly they would want to deed the property back to the county. Chairman Scurlock felt the School Board will have to retain the building under the terms of the grant. In using that source of revenue, there are some very specific commitments, and he did not want the people led to believe that this is just a community center and the School Board will only use it once in a while. Commissioner Bowman suggested we have our County Attorney talk with the School Board Attorney and find out just how this will work. Chairm4n Scurlock felt possibly we could consider expansion of the street lighting district to include this as one alternative, and Commissioner Lyons concurred that would be consistent with what we have done with other centers. The Chairman agreed we could lease space in that building to put on recreation activities, but he had a great concern in regard to assisting with the cost of operation, maintenance and also maintaining appropriate staff. Commissioner Wodtke believed the important thing is that the community has $250,000 and we have the land, and he believe there are areas where we can assist. He did believe the community will be supportive and felt the first step would be Item E in regard to appointing a Board of Directors. Commissioner Lyons wondered whether the Board of Directors should be appointed by the School Board rather than the county. Chairman Scurlock felt that the first step is to actually learn the conditions of the grant, i.e., specifics about the percentage of use of the building, etc. and let our Attorney analyze it as to what we have to do. Commissioner Lyons agreed there is not much more we can do until we really know what our role will be in this project. 60
