EOvA PAGE 113 <br />Commissioner Adams noted that the Progressive Civic League has done a tremendous <br />job and is really making a difference. The program is a source of pride for the neighborhood. <br />However, the school building has a roof leak and the League is not financially able to take <br />care of this expense. She requested that the Board approve having the County fix the leak <br />on a cost-sharing basis with the Recreation Department. <br />General Services Director Dean advised that he had spoken with Pat Callahan of the <br />Recreation Department and the estimate for all repairs, less the air conditioning system, <br />would be about $1500. This would include windows and the roof leak. <br />Commissioner Macht emphasized that the Board is often asked to fund something <br />which may or may not be used. This particular project is intensely used already and children <br />walk great distances to get there. He felt this is a great project and the Board should extend <br />themselves to do these repairs. He also questioned whether the lease arrangements should <br />be modified at this time. <br />Commissioner Adams felt the lease is not a source of conflict at this time but noted <br />that the Wabasso Progressive Civic League has requested some changes, in addition to a <br />possible change of the name of the subdivision. These matters will be brought before the <br />Board at a later time. <br />Chairman Eggert asked that staff look at the air conditioning situation, as well as the <br />possibility of a hook-up to potable water, and report back. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board, <br />by a 4-0 vote (Commissioner Ginn being absent) <br />unanimously approved the repairs to the roof and the <br />windows of the Douglas School. <br />DECEMBER 23, 1997 <br />-30- <br />
