<br />1) thanked the 16mcreation Co+m~dasioa for of ~ to $Zfl,~ #ttn- ~ecreati.on
<br />Commission funds for repair of tie roof at th+e Cosg<lez, tit e~rt#.te re-
<br />calved was is the neighborhood of $15,Qt~1. 'The #2fl,000 firma eau rapxwaeat not
<br />only direct repair of the roof but also a number of repairs r~.ch are seeded due
<br />to the damage caused by rain sae~-ing in contiacetll~r for such a 1va~g period of
<br />time. Understands that if the law suit br by the City against certain people
<br />involved in the construction of the Rec. Ces~~.ex proves fxeutt€ul, the Bey can
<br />be returned to the Recreation Cosadssiam. Ads3ed that the Ca~wtts~wn recelvAas its
<br />money from the .5 mill charter allocatis~n. T~ City does barn a ,5 mill pe t
<br />levy which is not voted on. It was din the adoption c+f the t,~arter of
<br />the City. According to tb~e Charter, that Y can be used for shy appropriation
<br />purpose at all. There is no stipulation a~ich lsdts that .S mill to recreation
<br />programs for parks. These bas base soaa~ co~afvaia~a abut this. I would like to
<br />thank the Recreation Comssion for seeing the need at the ~6ec Comp3ez for that
<br />repair.
<br />2) with respect to Ord. No. 78-1, which is the tax levy, tl~rs gave bed many
<br />meetings on this subject daring back to 'May of this year and at t~ initi#~l Ming
<br />of the Recreation Committee, wss wrare usly #n favor of a l.5 x.11 lervy.
<br />Since that time mush has ~d - a uvir~er of plans discussed rss-gtng ~ 1 sill
<br />to 3 mills. Rowever, w+ra agn~eed at cosNeittee and in caucus of Co~cil, at a 1.5
<br />mill levy. It will gsserate $360,034 yea~cly. T~ average aewua~ debt service at
<br />the Rec Caap3.ex would be $Z95,OF~ according to plans submitted by l+lccDivttald and
<br />Co~aay, ficial consulting firs. So we would have an e~ears of approximately
<br />$60,000 a year on debt service. I say excess, using the tam erdvi.sedly, because
<br />we have had a Washer of s~aeti very pertinent to the ~s~eds of t3ee Rsc Coerplex
<br />including the work listed in 1+lrr, Petre's 67 point plan which listed ;a11 the needs
<br />of the Rec Complex. ?hat plan totalled approximately $It10,pAQ n for various
<br />repairs, ~intainance, etc. for the Complex. That $60,000, if wee the levy
<br />passed by council tonight, and if we get it passed by the voters, will provide
<br />enough money to meet the debt service- cease rolling over thve not+~ -cease
<br />spending X175,000 on money rental -and begin paying on the grincipel which has
<br />not been done yet.
