PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA John Buri, 186 West Monarch Court, Louisville, Colorado, President of the Centennial Valley Tennis Association based in Louisville, promoting tennis in east Boulder County and Louisville, stated that there are currently 97 members and their families. They were asking Council to approve the budget request from the Recreation Department for lights at the Recreation Center tennis courts. The City has 11 tennis courts. This year they had 11 teams with 40 home matches and played 112 individual matches so far in 1997. The league 7+matches start at 6:30 p.m. making it difficult to finish some of their home matches before it gets dark. They canvassed 36 adjacent home owners in the neighborhood and presented petitions to Council along with other information. COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Sisk attended a meeting with the School Board where the 16 names were submitted for the new high school. The list was condensed to five names: Monarch High School, Coal Creek High School, Regal High School, Windridge High School, and Louisville High School. September 25 the School Board will meet to discuss the names and receive comments. He urged Council to present petitions and evidence as to why it should be named Louisville High School. He wanted citizens to present letters and contact the School Board representatives in favor of Louisville High School. A final decision on the name will be made at the October 11 School Board meeting. The Senior Advisory Committee will be sending a letter unanimously recommending the name Louisville High School. Howard spoke with various community leaders. They remembered that in the old days there was an animosity between Louisville and Lafayette. They did not want illusions made to chain beatings and the like. His other concern was that by naming the school after the City of Louisville, they would be slighting other communities who would be sending their children to this school. He did point out that other communities have schools named after them, i.e. Broomfield and Boulder. He asked the citizens to let their officials know. Keany complimented City staff on how nice the medians throughout the City looked and the flower beds were a very attractive addition. He wanted to see more of that when the Landscape Master Plan was completed. Davidson announced that tomorrow about 2 p.m. at the new Monarch School grand opening the City will be presenting a check for $118,000 to the School District completing the City's $400,000 pledge should they build a high school in Louisville.
