F 4. High School Building Usage - Maureen Paxton discussed the by-laws with regard to responsibility of building maintenance, how would it be decided, and the need to have something in writing. John Williams said that the architect might be able to assist with some figures. A discussion on the possible usage of the new high school took place. Mr. Williams discussed the importance of having well- trained teachers in the evening. Gus mentioned his concern over having good understanding over who takes precedence regarding building usage. John Williams reminded Gus that both gyms in the new high school would probably be in use from Thanksgiving until mid-March but because the 7th and 8th graders would be at the high school the Middle School gym would be available. He mentioned that the Superintendent approves building usage. Maureen Paxton said that it would be helpful if the principals approved building use first then it went through to the Superintendent. A master calendar would be extremely helpful. B. New Business - 1. Mashnee Youth Center at Coombs - A discussion took place regarding the Youth Center being held at Tiger Fist. Program opened last March and has outgrown the space. Tiger Fist has also been expanding and needs the room. Niki Mills asked if Leisure Services would be interested in sponsoring the Youth Center and having it at the Coombs School starting in January. Leisure Services would hire a minimum of one staff person for Friday Night Sports which is starting December 8. Additonal staff would be hired if necessary. Niki is looking for Advisory Board members. The Youth Center program will cost $5.00 for registration and 50 cents per night. Brien Hyde discussed concept of Youth Center and a discussion took place on how both programs would be held at the same time. A discussion followed regarding how the grades would be split up between the Friday Night Sports and the Youth Center and that it would be best to just start off using the Coombs School as the Middle School gym would be in use because of the start of the soccer program. Gus discussed opening the cafeteria from 6:30-8:30 for the Youth Center group and the gym for Friday Night Sports having the younger kids - 4th and 5th grades - leaving by 8:30 and then allowing the Youth Center kids to use the gym. Brian Hyde felt the rules were too vague and that definite rules and regulations would need to be written up so everyone was clear on the operation. Niki Mills wants to come each month to the Leisure Services meeting with an update of the Youth Center programs. V. Adiournment - Ron Roberts made motion to adjourn. Pat Riley seconded. Meeting adjourned at 8:35 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jean Young Recording Secretary
