Mayor Cooper announced that the purpose of the meeting was to meet with the City School Board Members, City Planning Commission and Council to discuss uses of city schools surplus to educational needs of the district at this time. Bill Neuman, Administrative Officer for the school district, reviewed for the City Council the school district's financial situation at this time and also the anticipated reduction of funds from the state to support the school district. He continued that the school board had two alternatives to the existing situation: 1) close schools, or 2) allow the district to rent unused classrooms to other governmental agencies or to private properties. The present school board would like to work with the City Council and ability to rent unused school class- rooms rather than close the schools which might be needed at some future time; and also that this has been the recommendation of the citizens of the various neighborhoods who wish their schools left open so that children can go to school in the neighborhood. He also reminded the council that the school board has been cutting down their bus transportation program. He felt that today's meeting was to be more of a general discussion of the possibilities of allowing the city to look into the possibility of adopting some type of ordinance to allow rental of class- rooms by the school district. He then submitted for the city council's review a report prepared by the 1980 -81 advisory committee to study more economic operation of schools dated January 6, 1981, and a report from the city of Belmont, California which has already faced this issue in cooperation with the city and they have allowed them to rent individual buildings or portions of buildings to public and private agencies. It City Council Minutes January 26, 1981 - 12:00 noon Page 2 was Bill Neuman's opinion supported by various members of the school board present that the only way that the school system can continue to operate without selling off a number of schools would be to allow them to rent to both public and private agencies within certain guidelines presented by the council. For example, no businesses that require great transportation to and from the school district buildings, etc. He said that the school board staff was always ready to meet with the city staff to try to work some of these programs out. The City Council, School Board, the Advisory Board, and Planning Commission and staff members discussed the school district proposal.to rent unused classrooms and what potentials were seen by the administrative staff at this point in this program. After free discussion of ideas, the city staff.was directed to: 1) contact the city of Belmont and get the detail on their program; 2) draft a list of appropriate uses for unused classrooms; 3) coordinate closely and help school district with general plan process and; 4) staff to cooperate and move as quickly as we can to accomodate the school board. Mayor Cooper thanked the members of the school board advisory staff that were present and school board staff for bringing this matter to their attention and they said they hoped that they would be able to come up with some supportive conclusions in the near future.
