Director of Recreation & Community Services Nagel related: he does not see enough participation in two pools in this City; a pool requires 60%of expenses to cover the costs; Orange Park has a high demand for children swim classes; most recreation centers are controlled by the schools which impact our programs, so the City only has one or two that meet our needs; a gym would be a better use of our re- sources and cheaper to develop; if the Council agrees he can take it to the Recreation Commission next week for a technical change to the document. Discussion followed: when the pool issue came up 10-12 years ago the options were looked at, and if Council changes the plan now how can we alert the public; if okay, the City Manager will have to hold public hearings to continue the Specific Plan, and there will be full hearings as discussed in the tolling. Councilman Penna arrived at the meeting at 6:17 p.m. Discussion followed: the issue was raised of whether or not this was a mandate of the people; how do we alert the public; if the Council goes forward there will be opportunity for input with the Recreation Commission in the spring of next year and the Plan will come back to the Planning Com- mission and the Council for further input; will this relieve the Developer of a $3 million obligation if there is a gym only, because $1 million should be available for City use if the recreation center is not built; City Attorney is prepared to stand with the obligation; this is a staff based issue; Councilwoman Teglia does not want the Development Agreement opened up, wants to know the repercussions and some assurance; City Attorney Mattas related this is a discretionary act which Council may or may not change; the EIR document he does not anticipate changing; this is an under served area of the City and the pool was only one thing to address the need; Councilwoman Teglia felt this was only an opinion until it goes into Court and a Judge decides; she does not have a problem with a gym, but agrees with other concerns, such as the financial obligation; she feels the Director should ask for input from the residents in the Leisure Brochure on a pool vs. a AGENDA A~TION TAKEN 003 Discussion- Continued. Closed Session: pursuant to GC 54957.6, labor relations for all City labor organizations, and pursu- ant to GC 54957, for a performance evaluation of the City Manager. RECALL TO ORDER: ADJOURNMENT: gym; needs a decision tonight because Syntech wants a permit beyond the 81st and 82nd permits; have the Developer set aside money, then the deci- sion can be made and permission given; there needs to be an administrative adjustment to the permit; City Attorney wants precise language direc- tion where the Council wants to consider this; first 80 units then 230 units, yet at any time something could happen and City should tie this down and not be left with only 60 units done; Mr. John Ward felt this was placing Syntex in a responsible role of fulfilling the agreement; no, Sunchase has the obli- gation; with the distribution of the EIR in December or January there will be public hearings; Director could set up neighborhood meetings with the Recre- ation Commission; Mayor directed the City Manager to prepare a sequence for the intent is to have the community involved whether by mail, bro- chure or whatever; there is a $400,000-$500,000 difference between a pool and gym; etc. Council adjourned to a Closed Session at 6:40 p.m. Mayor Yee recalled the meeting to order at 8:19 p.m., all Council was present, no action was taken and direction was given.
