Mayor Janney noted this item was discussed during the closed session and it was decided that Council
wishes further time to negotiate with the Proffitt Trust. Council is seeking community support and would
appreciate any suggestions, plans or contributions that any member of the public may make to support this
project.
DPR Schwartz noted before Council was a) a Resolution to approve the lease of property at783 Califomia
Drive for use as a teen center, b) a Resolution authorizing transfer of $100,000 in capital funds designated
for improvements to the Recreation Center to the teen center, and c) to direct staff to seek funding options.
Noted staff has met with the Parks & Recreation Commission and has identified many different steps that
will need to be taken between the time the project is approved by Council and the opening of the facility
such as: planning a teen conference, seeking out what the needs of the community are, working with an
architect and construction company, making sure there is teen involvement in every step of the process,
establishing a list of partners, and conducting a traffic and parking study. At the P&R Commission
meeting on Thursday, October 17th, Commissioners made a motion and approved a request to the Council
that the Commission be allowed to establish a blue ribbon committee that would find funds for the one-time
improvements, for the set up of equipment for the facility to open, and to cover the first few years of lease
payments (approximately $400,000).

It was again noted that at this time, Council is not ready to execute the lease for 783 California Drive; need
