7. Director stated, 'This is a report, not a final draft of the Cupertino Sports Center Master Plan. sports Center
What we have are initial recommendations, and we cannot go further at this time. It is not Master Plan
necessary to take action on this. It is for information only."
"When we first acquired the Cupertino Sports Center,we quickly put together an interim group,
which Chairman Lohmiller served on,to get things going right away. Simultaneously a long term
master plan group was formed to figure out a long-term strategy on the facility. That effort has
taken many years. Over that process, the committee came to a realization that to take specific
action at this time would be premature. Half-way through that process we also realized that to
he a true master plan for a sports center,we needed to look beyond the six acre Sports Center
site at Memorial Park. So what you have as a result of that are four possible considerations that
would provide a starting point when the City gets serious about a Sports Center. This document
should be viewed as a point for a future committee to start from when they begin solving the
question where do we put our gym and wherc do we put our swimming pool:'"
Director reviewed the four master plan options and then turned it back at the Commission for
it very hrief discussion.

Thursday night we will end our youth summer program with our annual event Almost Anything Does."

Association. We were talking about the possibility%options of having a park in their neighborhood. Their
first preference is to buy the Anderson property'(I acre piece of land),second preference is Sedgewick,
and third preference is to have a park at Fremont Older. Those are their different options. Regarding
the Anderson property, we talked about maybe the Anderson family would be willing to lease the land
to the City (long-term lease). The issue for them regarding Fremont Older is crossing Miller. We talked
about - Could there be a bridge? Could there be a pedestrian crossing with a light just for pedestrians:'
They are concerned about small kids crossing Miller. They are going to write a letter to Chairman
Lohmiller, outlining their position and what they would like to see, and some options. They are very
aware of the City's financial situation and they were very reasonable about what they want and willing
to entertain anv innovative ideas that people might come up with."
