ing area. Mr. Jasinek further explained the
lighting system that will be used on the
courts.

ing, parking area and seating capacity for

for this project was $120~000 and the archi-
tectls estimate is $119~198; this includes
the architect's fees.

dlscusscd facilities tooated in the parking area and,

Reason for opposing basic plan Councilman Scott stated, for the record,
that he opposed the basic plan based on the
fact that the lavatory facilities were in-
adequate.
DISCUSSION OF VOTING FORMULAS Councilman Hobel submitted to each Council-
- COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING man a copy of a report delineating the
ORGANIZATION alternative voting formulas for the pro-
posed regional decision-making body. He
indicated that he had no real strong opinions
on any one of the alternates.
CPO discussion The Council discussed the functional aspect
of CPO, with Councilman Hobel con~nenting that
it was a clearing house for federal grants.
There are 40 employees on this staff.
Suggested alternate Councilman Scott suggested the only one he
feels would work would be to set up a com-
pletely separate government directly elected
by the people, a separate one on regional.
The City or State would then decide what are
regional problems, and they would have the
authority to solve regional problems. This
is a unicameral concept. Representation
would be made by assembly districts -equal
population -one man, one vote concept.
Funding The Mayor commented that this could be funded
by a special tax rate.
Council position Councilman Hobel suggested a letter be writ-
ten which he can read at the next meeting,
stating the position of the Council in this
matter.
Staff directed to write letter Councilman Scott directed thc staff to write
this letter and to have them come up with the
criteria, scope of authority, matter of fund-
ing, limited powers, functions, etc.
The Council concurred that the functions
should incorporate: transportation, airport,
pollution, sewerage disposal, refuse disposal,
environment, recreation facilities.
Motion to approve It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded
by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that the staff be directed to write a letter
indicating the Council's position: (1) that
this is a basic approach they believe should
be done; (2) delineating how the funding
could be carried out~ the functions of the
organizations, representation, etc.
