The news media had. indicated that Louisville and <br />Lafayette were in :negotiations regarding a joint <br />recreation center. Both Szymanski and Mayor <br />Fauson asked Krisko if we had yet been approached <br />by Lafayette. Krisko stated that to his knowledge <br />there has been no formal request but he is aware <br />that Lafayette is conducting a study for a <br />recreation center also and that a joint venture <br />has been identified as a possibility to pursue. <br />Krisko has also been talking to the YMCA in <br />discussing alternatives to a City Recreation <br />Center.

Sackett feels it important to tell Boulder <br />that our request fora water storage tank in <br />Boulder open space "is not our intention to slap <br />(Boulder) in the face at all...but to preserve the <br />intent of that open space in the process." <br />"That's why we are asking for the ability to put <br />that water tank underground so that our environ- <br />ment would be preserved, not our environment of <br />Louisville, but our environment of both Boulder <br />and Louisville." <br />Mayor Fauson stated that it is his estimation that <br />all of this has been conveyed to the Boulder Open <br />Space Board and "they could care less what we <br />6 <br />
