Mr. Colclough: I spoke with Mr. Beck some time ago about the Gracewood Community Center. We have some community org"ni7"rions that would like to operate programs at their local parks. There is no cost to the county, you won't have to shift any staff, it's providing the center for the community to run some programs. Mr. Beck: This would not be a similar situation to what we've talked about at Jamestown which we have been working on as far as coming up with an agreement that we can sit down with the Jamestown and Sandridge Neighborhood Associations to get that process started. But this would he just an outlet for the community such as Pepperidge or other neighborhood associations to come in and do conjunctive programs with the Recreation Department. Mr. Oliver: I think we can handle that administratively. I 1 ,; I'. I cl Mr. Kuhlke: My only question about this would be is if we open up Gracewood, what's going to be our position if other areas in the community come and ask us to do the same thing in other centers? Mr. Beck: I don't think this would be a problem because we're already operating Gracewood now. We don't have staff there because that's one of the centers that we don't run a regular recreational operation, it's more of a rental, usage type building. Mr. Kuhlke: Ifwe're going to do that, it appears to me that you need to develop some policies on how we would handle that county wide. Mr. Beck: I think we can bring back a policy in two weeks. Mr. Kuhlke: I move to receive this 3lI information and- instrUct the Recreation Department to come back in two weeks with a policy. Mr. Brigham: Second.
