The Committee had recommended minimal Town investment at this time and supported renovation of the middle field at a cost of$5300 and $750 per month for maintenance and irrigation. Cassingham explained that discussions were held with School Board members in March, 2004 and a draft lease agreement was circulated twice for input. The District, after the second review of the draft lease, has indicated that they would like to see a more substantial investment from the Town in the fields and have suggested improvements of approximately $200,000. The School District's latest position was conveyed to the Town's Parks and Recreation Committee and considered by them at their June 16, 2004 meeting. The Committee concluded that with the uncertainty. of the future of Bullis School as a public venue, they did not recommend investing more than the nominal investment they originally recommended to Council. Cassingham explained that the item is before Council for further direction and Council consideration on the amount of funding they would like to invest in the playing fields. Council briefly discussed the initial negotiations for the playing fields that had included Councilmembers Kerr and Warshawsky. Warshawsky explained that the early discussions were primarily focused on whether the District was open to leasing the playing fields. Following discussion, Council concurred with the recommendation offered by the Parks and Recreation Committee that the Town limit their investment to the original proposal and directed Cassingham and Councilmember Cheng to move forward with discussions with the School District for lease of the Bullis playing fields. 4 City Council Meeting Minutes July 1,2004
