Mr. Kraft was also told that the City had not yet been billed for joint use related costs; he will set up billing so any joint use associated costs will be sent to the City. Debbie Baynard, school board candidate, asked about the Science Camp and if the academic co -curricular committee could use these two classrooms. Regarding Item #5 of the February minutes (Report on Facilities Usage Agreement), it was noted that there may not be a loss of soccer practice fields at the Durham/Kasper property. Parking and track/field locations can probably be moved south so that the loss of a field will be minimized. Bethann Scratchard made a motion to approve the minutes. Gary Fawks seconded and the minutes were approved unanimously without correction. Agenda Item #3, Resolution Encouraging Design and Construction of Facilities which Enables Joint Use Kevin Hugman presented the resolution and why it was brought forward. He noted that at the previous JUC meeting, members had discussed the idea of encouraging forethought being given to those design considerations that would enable joint use of facilities, whether they be CISD or City buildings and facilities. These design considerations could include such things as: fencing, after-hours access, etc. DAWP-FILESUUC\MINUTES\97-03-11.wpd Page 1 Doug Strickland said he would like to table the resolution until Rick Wilhelm and others on the school board can look at the resolution and give their input. Gary Fawks noted than on the issue of additional cost, City Council will look favorably on paying for the additional cost that is needed for joint use. Doug Strickland said they are having TPM look at Rockenbaugh to see what needs to be done in the gym to make it usable for joint use. Bethann Scratchard made a motion to table Resolution 97-01 until the JUC meeting on April 8. Gary Fawks seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. Agenda Item #4, Resolution Supporting Growth Which Enhances Sales Tax Revenues Kevin Hugman opened the discussion on this resolution and noted that it was brought forward after discussion at the previous JUC meeting at the request of the JUC members present at that meeting. The purpose of the resolution is to express JUC support for appropriately -zoned commercial retail development, recognizing that joint use projects would continue to be funded by SPDC-approved projects using the 1/2 cent sales tax. Gary Fawks felt this resolution may be stepping a bit over the line. Kevin Hugman explained the rationale from the last meeting. Judy Gilmore asked why the JUC would want to do this. Bethann Scratchard moved and Judy Gilmore seconded a motion to table until April 8. It was approved. Agenda Item No. 5, Future Joint Use Facilities, Projects and Goals Gary Fawks discussed the joint City Council/Planning & Zoning meeting that was held to discuss Timarron. He noted that the ordinance to establish a TIF may not be on the March 18 City Council agenda after discussions he had with Curtis Hawk. Doug Strickland asked Gary Fawks if Curtis Hawk had gotten the numbers related to the TIF. Gary Fawks explained that the ordinance would only establish the boundaries of a TIF. It is possible to decide later who will participate. Gary Fawks noted the possibility of constructing sidewalks along Shady Oaks. A short term, interim solution might need to be looked at, since the ultimate road section is not built yet. Doug Strickland noted item #4 from Kevin Hugman's memo (the discussion of Multi -Use Recreation Center at Joint City Council/CISD meeting) regarding land needed and cost estimates. He noted that the cost estimates developed by the JUC were: DAWP-FILESUUC\MINUTES\97-03-1Lwpd Page 2 LJ stadium -- 10,000 seats/2,000 parking spaces $10 Million natatorium -- less than a 50 meter pool (3 acres) 3 Million tennis center -- 24 courts? (10 acres) No cost estimate was available, but Bethann Scratchard will check on this item. Judy Gilmore noted that Plano has an outdoor pool that supports operation of the indoor pool. Kathy Schaeffer showed the JUC the types of shoes and the ball used for indoor soccer. Bob Ledbetter said they had gotten lots of complaints from administrators on indoor soccer. The Gym at Rockenbaugh is designed for basketball, but they are looking at what would need to be done to accommodate indoor soccer. Bob asked what age does basketball start at? Kathy said at 4 years old. Bob Ledbetter expressed concern that this is too young and is taking away from the time available for older kids. Gary Fawks noted that he had the latest SPDC proposed budget. Copies were given to the JUC members in attendance. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Rick Wilhelm, Chairman ATTEST: /X� Kevin Hugman, ssistant to the City Manager DAW-FILESUMMINUTES\97-03-11.wpd Page 33
