Council that these were rreliolnary Plano and the placlng of the build-

ThiS d~adlln~ W::l3 Febr-:::-l ::~:t. Th"1t it was neC~3!1ary trot the Cou.~-
eil adopt a Reoolution ~cc~~ting the pre11minary plans as presented
so tr.t these monies c~~l~ ~~ acquired.
Mr. Blesslng eave tr~ Council a cost breakdown of what 1. was
,,"t1mat~d the Improv......nts would be. lie explaIned that the 0011
analyols Indie~ted tt~t the top two fcet of ~0 1 "ould have to be
rSlBOved 1n order to bu11d. The plans ind1cated a half of a basement
to house the mechanical room and storaße space. S1nce all of the
equipment \<ould be there, he felt it wouid be ecC'nom1cal to dig a
rull t~sement. The added epace could be utI11zp.d and the added expense
could be Just1fied. The CouncIl agreed that a full basement would
be advant8geo'JS, and stated that It should be Included in the fInal
plans.
After Mr. Blellei~ went over the plans. there was conslderable
d1l1cusB1on as to what would be rea~~zed for the inveetment of $381,000,
which was the est1_tad COllt, the ratl0 beIng $22.50/aq. ft. 1'0'.' a
build1ng :>f 12,000 a~. l't. This did not 1nclude the brsement area
WIIch would cost approxi..tely $11,000 addit!ønal. Mr. Blessing stated

was also ra1scd by the CcWlcll tlult if they adopt ncoolution 896 and
lIend it on to the Pedera1 Agency, tMt thill might limit their perroga·,
t1ve to change the plana. The COl:l1cU Wn.1I a83ured by both the City
Manager and ~. Bleoøing that thlo wa5 nut co, that they could use these
plans as a t.as1B for planning and if they wsnted to change sny psrt of
them, that this could be done. Thp. CU\'nc1l agreed that all of them
.anted to deliberate a b1t longer on the cubJect andssked that the
Resolution be put over to their Fp.bruary 17th meet1ng, which would still
be t1me enough to meet tbe February 2lllt deadl1ne.
Counc11man ðenettl atateó that he w1shed to go on record as
approving these plana aa aubad.tted, 1nuIII1ch ns he would not be 1n

PARK SITES - JIB'lBS AJID ÐOUIIrB DBSCRIPTION:
IV
John Parham dispL'veð a IIItlp of the p¡ooposed park si tes. He
eJq!;La1ned to the Councl!, "..ferr!ng to hi C r<!port of February 7th,
19ó1/, 1n which it .as stated that dlle to the Doard of Directors of
the Youth Center elec~inß to pick up the option for the Youth Center
and remain the leullehr.>lder, thi1 t the Collins :Jchool park site had to
be abandoned. The main rea30n for sele.;ting this site being that the
Youth Center was adjacent to it and would be ~n alre~dy i1stalled
fac1l1ty.
Coun~ )man Finch a&ked if, instc~d of the five acre minimum,
it would not be better to purchace ten ncres for the Community Center
Park site. This site, which W~lß to he at Collins School, was now
to be located acros5 froo the proposed DeAn?.. College. After some
discussIon, it was decided, that since the property involved was a
14 acre parcel, it might be better to purchase the entire acreage
beci>uae leaving a four acre parcel in this area would mal<e it diffi-
cult to improve or d,,·¡elop. Mr. Par':",m >1aa aaked what type of
facl1ity he would put on a parcel of thia cizc.
y~, Parham ctat"ù that he Icd o~Jy eontenplated a five acre
site, on which a buildir~ would ~"ve to be pl~ced, but a ten acre
or even fourteen acre parccl would I.,ve "nny possibilities. i.e.
a small lake, tennis courtR.. volley :'>.":\11 arca.. horseshoe pits, etc.
Mayor Jewett asked if tt.e Council thou.;ht it wise to purchase a parcel
in tt.e alcoct.. centf.:f' of tOW1'l and put in thc~e lmpI'Ovements" trees..
small lake, etc., when by going a bit fw·tt-.er west into the footh1l1a,
or even to the Horse Farm, these natural improvements were already
there? He felt that the neighborhood parks adjacent to schools werp
fine, however,' he could not go along with a tel> or fourteen acre site
in the middle of town.
Councilman Sa1eh Baked how much parking would be p.~vided on
a parcel of this size. Mr. Parham stated that noraully parking is n<Jt
provided in a psrk area. however, since this would be a buildiOß with
,meeting rooms a parking lot should really be provided. The difference
betwE en the neighborhood type park and the community psrk is that one
l'acilitates tIle smaller e~~ldren witlun walking distance from the1r
hollies and the other would be 'IDOre for sdult recreation, meetings, etc.
Councilman Pinch IltatedthBt he d1d not tee 1 the five acre mini-
mum shoulci applyto:-the Coaimur.i:ty Park, 1n real1ty 1t should be thirty
acres. In view of this. he fesls that nothing 1..3s than ten !lcres shoulè
be considered.
Councilman Benetti lltated that he ~~eed with Councilman Finch's
thinking~ but that one-ot the reaSOM tu:' locating next to schools was
becalJlle many o1'~_the f'adl1t1eli ware,all·proVided. IISking it IDOre
. economical.' Th~ acreap ..roIlS from the ·College ¡>roperty is not close
to any school fao1lity IIJId f'or this reallon it 18 questionable whether
this would be acceptable.
Mayor Jewett statsð that he te1t the pr1ce paid for this prilDe
.1aDd would be lIuch tlat. t;!Mt;r could go to t¡ Ie f'ootb1lll1 and purchas.

up regarding t!:~ abil1ty of tn<; City to ""fport a bond 1ssue this large.
School taxea a:read:r take a good part of ,ur present taxes. _ It was
stated that tt.:.; land coul<\ tÆ p",.cllllacJ no", but need not øe improved
all at once. T:-.at laoo values ..ould be ~cin; up every day and five
7ea.:rs t'rom no'" ':!";¿ cost waul·:: b.e ::¡Ol"G th~:: 1 t 1s today. The rlrat
.~. 1t was r~l:, was to acquire the lanj 3nd improve it as finances
allQlOed.
Councll:oan Pinch moved to have the :nctes and bowldll prepsred on
tile ft"e sites discussed, naøely: five acres each adjacent to Stevens
er.eIk School site. Menta V1sta School cite, Portal School site and
V~ School sUe; 14 acres across from the DeAnza College s1te. These
dl'T ~tions to be prepared as soon as poss1ble, for VebrUar)' 17th
~. The C1t;r starr to uøe t.he1r Judgment as to the best t1ve
._ adjacent to the school lIites to be included 1n the ordinances to
be _tad zoning them tor park sites. Seconded by councHIII:m Dempster.
Mayor Je..ett w1shed to go on record as not be1ng in tavor of a
ciQ wide park in the center ot town, but does not feel it is his plsce
to .-ke this dec1s1òn. lie w111 go along with the rest ot the Counc11
tbatt ~s ùata te prepared "00 enacted and that it go on a ballot so
