many residents are concerned and expressed a <br />desire to stop construction until the issue of <br />overcrowding in the schools is resolved. Ms. <br />Wilson-Hubis stated, "I don't think our children's <br />education can be compromised. They are the future <br />of the community and they deserve the excellence <br />in education which they aren't getting in the over <br />crowded class rooms." "I think we should let <br />Louisville grow, but. we need to do it carefully <br />without jeopardizing our most precious resource, <br />and that is our children." <br />Mayor Fauson responded by stating that Council is <br />very sensitive to this issue, however, schools <br />officials are notorious for building schools when <br />the demand is there, not in anticipation of <br />growth. "I think school boards have to change <br />their methods..." "I think it is a process that <br />we are all going to have to work together on and <br />we are willing to do that." <br />In answer to Council concerns regarding this <br />proposal, Williamson stated that this is like a <br />bridge loan. The City has to reimburse the Coal <br />Creek people for architectural fees that they <br />advance. The $12,500 is fully reimbursable to <br />them from the bond proceeds. But the $12,500 will <br />not provide for the final design and the bonds <br />will not be sold until later this month. To keep <br />on schedule, it is necessary to advance these <br />funds. It is unlikely that the $10,000 figure <br />proposed will come close to being used. No money <br />will change hands until the bonds are sold, but if <br />it did come to that, those funds would have to <br />come out of Council Contingency. <br />Szymanski related concerns with the City having <br />the full burden of the additional funds. It is <br />his suggestion that Coal Creek become party to <br />half the amount requested. Wanush stated that the <br />City assumed the responsibility when the question <br />wasn't asked to Coal Creek if they would assume <br />part of this loan liability. Szymanski concurred <br />that if Coal Creek wasn't asked, then it is the <br />City's liability, bui:, in his opinion, they should <br />have been asked. "Coal Creek stands to loose as <br />much as the City doers in this." <br />Carnival asked if there was room <br />and stated that it is his opinion <br />should be asked to assume part of <br />for the extra funding. "I agree <br />track. I think we a]Ll recognize <br />continuing Mr. Phelp"s work, but <br />Bob (Szymanski). I think we are <br />for negotiation <br />that Coal Creek <br />the liability <br />we are on a fast- <br />the importance of <br />I also agree with <br />all a player in <br />10 <br />
