<br /> <br />March I, 2002 <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br />City of Louisville <br />749 Main Street <br />Louisville, CO 80027 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor and Council members: <br /> <br />I am writing to you on behalf of the Mayor and Board of Trustees to solicit your cooperation on <br />what we feel to be an excellent opportunity to again work together on an issue of regional <br />significance. The issue we speak of is recreational opportunities for the residents of our two fine <br />communities, <br /> <br />We have often spoken of the cost savings and service delivery economies of cooperative efforts <br />among communities. Along these lines, we have had specific conversations about joint recreation <br />programming serving both communities. <br /> <br />Weare aware that Louisville is moving forward on studies and needs assessments for recreational <br />services for the Louisville community, Our thoughts are this would be an excellent opportunity <br />to add to these studies a component that would assess the recreational needs of both communities. <br />If the Louisville Council is interested in pursuing this ,coalition, we would work with Louisville to <br />redefine the scope of the studies and needs assessments, and pay for the additional work. <br /> <br />With such a regional study in place, our two communities could dialogue concerning the <br />possibility of an expansion of the Louisville Recreation Center in such a way that it met the needs <br />of both communities. If our dialogue led to the determination that such expansion was <br />appropriate for both communities, Superior and Louisville could formulate an Intergovernmental <br />Agreement that defined how joint funding of this facility could take place, usage arrangements, <br />and other items of importance. <br /> <br />As we have discussed in the past, having recreation centers in both of our communities, may not <br />be the most efficient way to expend public dollars if the opportunity to have a common facility <br />could be a reality. We have, in the past, worked together to the advantage of both communities <br />and feel this to be another opportunity to again do it right. <br /> <br />We respectfully ask your consideration of this proposal. <br /> <br />Sincerely, (: <br /> <br />~(':(jiJl~ <br /> <br />Bruce E.
