DESCRIPTION In October of 1986, the Recreation Department
received a letter from Dublin High School Principal, Joan King, proposing a
"deal" that would allow the Recreation Department free use of the high
school ' s facilities in return for help with maintenance of school fields
(Exhibit A) . The Park and Recreation Commission considered this request at
their November 6, 1986 meeting. The Commission was in favor of pursuing
the issue, so a subcommittee was formed to investigate the feasibility of
Mrs . King' s proposal and to determine actual projects in which the City
could assist.
The subcommittee met with representatives from the School District and
reported back to the Commission at their December 9, 1986 meeting. In
addition to the original request for assistance with field maintenance, the
subcommittee also came up with a number of projects in which the City could
undertake. They are as follows :
1. Installation of an all weather track and stadium
2 . Construction of an additional soccer field (South End)
3 . Construction of an additional softball field (North End)
4 . Upgrade of existing practice softball and baseball fields
5. Construction of two to four additional tennis courts
6. Installation of a parr course
7 . Installation of a 9-hole pitch and put course
8 . Resurface blacktop area
Although actual cost estimates have not yet been prepared, it appears that
the proposed projects, as well as maintenance, entail substantial costs
which have not been budgeted. Therefore, it was the recommendation of the
Park and Recreation Commission that any further consideration of Dublin
High Schools request be deferred until the City Council has had the
opportunity to consider the request.
It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council consider the
request from the Principal of Dublin High School and determine 1) whether
there is sufficient benefit to the City to pursue consideration of
providing financial assistance to Dublin High School; and -2) - .whether the
City and School District should jointly fund the services --of: a; landscape
architect to identify those costs associated with the =improvements
identified above and maintenance of those improvements.;.

To Whom It May Concern:
As principal of Dublin High School, . I would like to suggest a
"deal" that would allow the Recreation Department free ,use of
our facilities . In return we would need help with "the" main-
tenance of our fields . The ' fields could be used year round if
they were maintained properly and on a regular basis.
I would like to meet with you to review a possible agreement •
along these lines . Could I attend your board meeting on November
6th and be on the agenda to discuss this plan?
