Additionally, they felt that cleaning up and upgrading the grounds would instill a greater sense of pride in both students and the community. The Commission has not included the following proj ects in their recommendation list of projects to be funded: Cost $ 40,905 910,000 17,000 170,500 520,000 153,300 Project 1. C.H.

Frederiksen improvements, the Commission felt that upgrading the fields and kindergarten area was sufficient and that the additional expense of a separate play area in the turf was not warranted. For the high school football field improvements, they did not think that installation of artificial turf was necessary or desirable. They also felt that upgrading the lighting and bleachers was preferable to replacing them. The recommendations of the Commission vary somewhat from those of the Task Force. Whereas the Commission has recommended that the high school be given high priority, the Task Force recommended that the elementary and middle schools be given priority before the high school. It is staff's recommendation that the City Council provide staff wi th input on prioritization of the aforementioned proj ects to assist City staff working with staff from the Dublin Joint Unified School District to develop a Joint Use/Development Agreement to be presented to the City Council and School Board for review at a future meeting.
