SUMMARY EXPLANATION
At the January 6, 2004 Business Meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare legislation to
establish a Southeast Community Center Advisory Committee. This community -based
advisory committee will meet quarterly and provide guidance on matters relating to services at
the Southeast Community Center
The City does not have the funds to sustain long -term operations at the Southeast Community
Center; however, the Parks and Recreation budget included $49,000 for short -term operation
for six months. This interim period allowed enough time to reach two goals set during the 2004
budget process. The first goal was to issue an RFP to seek out and retain an organization to
manage the center An RFP has been issued. If Council passes the ordinance establishing the
Southeast Community Center Advisory Committee, the second goal will be met.
