There are some policy conflicts here. I'm assuming we're <br /> raising rates to meet council's goal of recoverning costs. The conflicting policy is that we're also trying to <br /> get more legitimate uses in this park. Let's talk about this. Thanks, Linda <br /> From: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> To: NORRIS Linda H; SVENDSEN Glen L <br /> Cc: ETTER John F; MORGAN Dick A; HAMMITT Bob; POST Doug A; BECK Bonnie L <br /> Subject: Rental Rates @ WJ park <br /> Date: Thursday, February 08, 1996 9:18AM <br /> Hi Glen, <br /> I'm afraid I can't be of much help in answering Linda's <br /> question on what is happening with rates at WJ. Dick Morgan <br /> is out ill today although Bob Hammitt said he might come in <br /> later if he is feeling better. Bob was also unaware of what <br /> the issue may be but noted that Barbara Keller has a call in <br /> for Dick when he returns. Our memory is that we changed the <br /> rental rates at least a year ago but Dick is the best source <br /> of specific information at our division. <br /> The below is likely the issue, but everything I'm getting is <br /> at least second hand info, so please consider it as such.. <br /> John Etter who was at the Washington/Jefferson Task Team (Take <br /> Back the Park Committee) meeting told me that a concern was <br /> raised at that meeting in that the rental rate had more than <br /> doubled since the last Fiesta Latino. A feeling was expressed <br /> at the meeting (John thought it may of been by Jan Gund) that <br /> if we are trying to get more legitimate use of the park then <br /> why we discouraging this by the rates becoming prohibitive. <br /> John said that Barbara Keller who was also present at this <br /> meeting suggested that the fees possible could be waived if <br /> the City was to cosponsor the event. John's understanding was <br /> that Bonnie Beck of LRCS from Westmoreland was going to follow <br /> up on this possibility. <br /> I understand that there is discussion about LRCS Recreation <br /> Division taking over the permit process for this facility at <br /> the change of the fiscal year, but I personally am unaware of <br /> the current status of this proposal. <br /> Hope this has been helpful. <br /> Thanks <br /> Johnny <br /> Page 1 <br />
