Ms. Kissler called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Ms. Kissler opened the public hearing to receive public input regarding the construction of a proposed Scout House to be located on 2.57 acres of parkland located in the Castle Forest Subdivision on Bishop Street. Rodney Cobb reviewed with Council his memorandum dated March 12, 1986 which listed proposed responsibilities of the City and Scout Association. Messrs. Farr and Nicola thought the proposed time of 1:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays should be changed to 2:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. because if someone was having a noon meeting, there would need to be time in between meetings for clean-up. Ms. Comptom stated she was not willing to change the time from 1:00 to 2:00. Lunelle Anderson said the Parks Board was supportive of the building because the City could utilize the facility, and she was in favor of endorsing fairness to both sides. David Williford asked for a listing of what troops belong to the Scout Association, and Mr. Gonzalez stated the City would find this informa- tion and supply it to the Parks Board. Rodney Cobb continued review of the memorandum of proposed responsibilities. He stated the plans did not include office space for United Way. Richard Medina stated Ken Long wanted to share some expenses of the building in order to have a United Way office at the Scout House. Ms. Compton and Ms. Bishop stated it is not a part of this proposal. Lunelle Anderson stated the Parks Board did not accept a group officing there, such as United Way. Mr. Brown stated it may be unwise for United Way to consider off icing there since they assist in funding the Scout Association. Tom Allen stated he wanted to see the groups move forward with the idea of the Scout House being used by other organizations. Mr. Hankins stated an agreement could state that no subletting or transfer of rights could occur without approval of the City Council. Mr. Brown told Mr. Hankins he thought there should be more specific language regarding storage for the Parks and Recreation Department, and he stated square footage or a percentage figure could be used. David Williford stated he would like the Scout Association to come back before the Parks * Mayor Craddock, Messrs.
