Sisk: Mayer: Lathrop: I would like to have it stated as youth activities rather than sports activities that are offered through the City of Louisville. I would like Council advised, on a periodic basis, of who is using it. If requests exceed the available time, I'd be prepared to shift to a reduced fee on a space available basis. Sisk moved that Council adopt recommendation #4 which is to have the staff set aside time at the end of each youth activity where the Recreation Center can be used free of charge on a first come first served basis. Mayer asked for a friendly amendment that the Council be advised on a seasonal basis. Howard asked for a friendly amendment that the changes in the wording "sports activities" be changed to "youth activities in City sponsored programs", seconded by Howard. All in favor. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION TO COUNTY CONCERNING BOULDER COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Annette Brand, City Administrator, explained that this is on the Agenda because of a couple of calls from Commissioner Ron Stewart. In the packet before you is material on the Boulder County Economic Development Program. Within the packet are three pages which tell you about the program which originated in 1986. There is a proposal from the Louisville Chamber of Commerce for last year plus their report for the end of the year. Then, there are the proposals from all of the Cities and/or economic development arms in Boulder County. The program began in 1987 and since that time, out of the Boulder County Development Funds, the Louisville Chamber of Commerce has received a grant for $27,000.00 each year. One of the requirements of the program is that there be matching funds to that program from the City or from the organization. Historically, for this three year period, the City of Louisville has funded the Chamber operation for up to $25,000.00. Since there is a substantial change in the Council, with of new people, the County would like to be notified, officially, what the City's position is as far as these funds being allocated to the Chamber of Commerce. This will also carry along the decision of what you would be doing with your funds to the Chamber. In the budget last year for this year there is a figure for $25,000.00 that has been approved but not appropriated.
