Mr. Rosland recalled that, as decided at the joint Council/School Board/Wooddale Use Committee Meeting on Feb- ruary 23, 1981, he had met with Dr. Lieber, Mr. Hite and Mrs. Cornwell to dis- cuss possible solutions to what should be done w'ith Wooddale School. that there 'is $150,000 remaining in the Open Space Funds which were committed to acquire certain properties in the Open Space Election. bility had been considered of the City leasing the WooddaLe School playground and paying $30,000 per year which would be applied to the possible purchase of the playground at a later date. Mr, Rosland explained that these funds would enable the School District to proceed with the necessary life-safety requirements so that the building could be rented. for the lease agreement, the City could use a portion of the school. Mrs. Alison Fuhr, 6609 Brittany Road, was told by Mr. Rosland t3at the City hopes to obtain property South of Yorktown through subdivision dedication. Councilman Bredesen questioned why'the City should subsidize Wooddale School before it is known if it can actually sustain itself. Mr. Hite pointed out that he believed that these facilities should be made available and that the School District does not have the funds to pay for the needed improvements. He also said that the School Dis- ,trict has no need for the playground and that it could lock the gates. response to questions of the Council, Mr. Hite said that the co'st of life-safety improvements would run between $140,000 and $170,000 and that he thinks it will be difficult to find tenants at $3.50 per square foot. Mrs. Cornwell said that the School Board feels that it would be unwise to allow the school to stand vac- ant for another year and that'the gymnasium could be used for various Citv programs. Councilman Richards said that he does not believe that the Council should deal with this problem, since it is possible that the school population could double in ten years and the building-would be again needed as a school. Councilman Bredesen moved that the Council support the concept of a lease He recalled He said that the possi- Mr. Hite clarified that as a consideration I h 3/2/81 69 with an option to purchase the Wooddale School land and that additional specific 'inforxnat.ion be brought back-*-to the Council for future consideration.
