The communication from the Arcadia Board of Education requesting the
attitude of the City with relation to a possible bond issue election
for an auditorium which would be constructed on school property was
received and discussed. Mayor Turner made the following statement
for the record:
"I have felt all along that an auditorium, as such, is a
luxury of very limited potential benefit to the citizens of
Arcadia. In my opinion, this City Council could not justify
the construction of such facilities strictly for community
needs. I feel that an auditorium at the high school could
serve a very definite purpose. I do not know, however,
whether an auditorium at the high school is needed badly
enough to inject it into the long range building program
already in effect at the High School. I feel that this is
a decision only the School Board can make.
"If the City finds a need for an auditorium, it is felt the
City should enter into a contractual arrangement with the
school for use of the facilities. Otherwise, it should be
up to the school to maintain the facilities and to make what-
ever charges it feels appropriate for groups using the
facilities whether they be City or privately sponsored.
"If the Board of Education determines that a sufficient need
exists primarily for school use to warrant the construction
of an auditorium, I feel that this Council should and would
support a proper bond issue."
Mayor Turner observed further that a determination will have to be
made as to how far to go to suit the conveni~nce of the citizenry;
that he appreciates that the facility will not pay its own way.
Following discussion, MOTION was made by Councilman Balser, seconded
by Councilman Forman and carried unanimously that the City Manager
be instructed to direct a letter to the Board of Education incorpo-
rating the thinking of the City Council; that the City Council
recognizes the need of an auditorium for school use and that if
constructed it would unquestionably find other uses; that if the
Board of Education determines such a building is needed, the City
Council would then vigorously support the proposed bond issue; that
the City Council would be willing to participate in the maintenance
and operation of the auditorium due to the fact that the City and
School have an agreement for combined activities conducted under
the Recreation Department and the City Council would also be willing
and would have an obligation to participate in the maintenance and
operational costs of the auditorium to the extent of the use of the
facility by City-sponsored activities.
