'1 The Newspaper Thursday, March 19, 1981 Page A7 Public hearing slated on proposed city projects If you have any questions, criticism s or comments, bring them to the public input session March 26 at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Building. Build-ing. That was the message criticisms or comments, from City. Councilwoman press conference aired Tuesday Tues-day morning on KPCW concerning a possible bond election to finance three proposed city projects. Those projects include the construction of a field house to be attached to the proposed pro-posed middle school off Highway 248, the renovation of the Miners Hospital into a public library, and improvements improve-ments to City Park. Members Mem-bers of the Community School Task Force went on the air Tuesday to describe the projects and the proposed pro-posed method of financing them. "There have been a number num-ber of misconceptions," Mrs. Lewis said before the conference con-ference began, "and we're here today to try and inform the public exactly what is proposed." Recreation Department Director Bruce Henderson said the field house would be built in conjunction with the school district, which currently cur-rently is negotiating for a piece of land to construct a middle school north of Highway High-way 248 and east of the existing high school. The school will be building a gymnasium complex, and it is proposed that the city would fund a mirror-image facility to the south, doubling the area available for both the community and the schools. The entire field house would be 210 feet by 125 feet, and would have moveable bleachers to accommodate 1,600 people. That area would allow for such things as rugby, soccer, baseball practice and rollerskating. Curtains could divide the field house in half or quarters, allowing various programs to be conducted simultaneously. Activities proposed by the Recreation Department-include .basket- self defense, and. gymnastics, gymnas-tics, to name a few. Henderson told the listening listen-ing audience that he strongly supports the field house proposal, since the Memorial Building now used by the Recreation Department, is too small to allow for simultaneous activities or program expansion. The field house, he said, would allow the department to offer two to three times the number of activities they now have. Henderson said that if the city does build the field house, the use of the whole facility will be split evenly Learn to be a more effective parent They may be a bit small, but if you were to walk in the shoes of a child, you'd likely see the world in a different way. Understanding the problems pro-blems and challenges facing children, and how parents can help them cope is what the Parent Education Resource Re-source Center at the Parley's Park Elementary School is all about. Called PERC, the center offers parents of all school-aged school-aged children literature, films, slides and lectures to help them help their kids. "With all the problems around us, kids are learning more about the world at an earlier age," said Parley's Park Principal Robert Freeman. Free-man. "PERC is designed to help parents learn what their kids are facing." Ib11 between the community and the school district. If only the school builds a facility, he said he hopes to work with the district to obtain time slots for community use. School Board Chairman Nancy McComb said groundbreaking ground-breaking on the school is scheduled to begin in May, and it is anticipated that construction would be completed com-pleted by September of 1982. The school's gymnasium would be finished that fall, she said, as would the city's portion of the field house if the proposal is approved. Many questions have been raised about the use of the Memorial Building if the field house is constructed, the task force said. One proposal is to turn the gymnasium into a performing perform-ing arts theatre, and to remodel existing offices. The panel emphasized that the building will continue to be used as a public facility, and encouraged residents to come to the public hearing to offer suggestions for its future use, or even to complain about how it functions func-tions as a community center now. Also under discussion Tuesday was the renovation of the Miner's Hospital. Once completed, the hospital will provide the community with "a first class library," said Librarian Judy McMahon, who currently works in cramped quarters on Main Street. Included in the project pro-ject would be exterior and interior renovation, plus the purchase of books, equipment equip-ment and furniture, a parking park-ing area, and possibly landscaping. land-scaping. Expansion of the library into the hospital would allow McMahon to greatly increase in-crease the number of books currently able to be housed in the small public libary, and would allow room for such things as a computer information retrieval system, sys-tem, and exhibit areas for historical artifacts. "The needs are great in the community for a library," li-brary," McMahon said. "And I think the Miners Hospital Will make a charm ing library, 'and will give us the room to really offer the city what it needs." Councilwoman Lewis said improvements to City Park also are being considered, although she said no concrete con-crete plans have yet been made. The City Council currently is considering funding the projects through a bond issue, Mrs. Lewis said. The field house will cost an estimated $1.5 million, and the library about $500,000, so the bond issue could be as low as $2 million. If park improvements and additional addi-tional changes are made at the hospital, the issue could Although the resource center cen-ter is based at the elementary elemen-tary school, Freeman emphasized em-phasized that it is aimed at all parents of school-aged children. Some of the information infor-mation offered includes subjects sub-jects such as parenting, child development, drug use, health, consumer practices, and vocational planning to a limited degree. Counseling also is available through PERC. As part of the program, weekly lectures are given by guest speakers (although tonight's meeting has been cancelled). The next lecture will be Thursday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the school media center. For more information about PERC, call the school at 649-9142. I I : I EtKlllll2Jt E g "KH.

If, following the public input session, the council votes in favor of a bond issue, Mrs. Lewis said a special bond election to . determine public support for the projects could be held in June. The Councilwoman admitted ad-mitted there is a danger in putting the projects together on the ballot. If there is sufficient negative reaction to one of the projects, all three could be defeated, she said. If that happened, the field house would not be built, and the renovation of the hospital would have to be financed through donations, which could take many years, she said.

The councilwoman stressed stress-ed the i. importance .of ,tha.. community attending the public input session. At that time, she said, the council will be ready to discuss the bond issue and the impact on taxpayers, and the details of each project. It's a time, she said, for residents to ask questions and offer opinions on the proposals.
