ITEM
Resolution No. 94-4743 authorizing a facility use agreement with Martin Luther King, Jr., Child Care
Center, Inc., for the use of Carver Center.
BACKGROUND
Last fall the City Commission was approached by representatives of MLK Child Care Center inquiring as
to the possibility of their use of the City's Carver Center (315 N. 2nd) as a location for some programming
in the MLK summer youth program. The MLK representatives reported on their success in starting a
program for disadvantaged young people in the summer of 1993.
The City Commission directed staff to work with the MLK Center on this request bringing a staff
recommendation to the Commission. Since then, the Parks & Recreation Department has been carrying
out that assignment. Staff work involved reviewing impact on existing summer usages, evaluating
possible positive additions to our summer youth program participation, and discussing legal issues with
the City Attorney.
After completing the internal staff work, meetings were again held with MLK representatives. Staff review
indicates the following:
1. Use of Carver Center for this program is consistent with its designed purpose as a public
neighborhood center.
2. Authorizing Carver Center's use from Monday through Friday during 1994 summer months would
not excessively deter from its availability to the general public as a rental facility. Most significant
public rental use is on weekends.
3. A neighborhood agency such as the MLK Child Care Center may better reach some youth in
low/moderate income neighborhoods, bringing them into already-established City Parks &
Recreation summer programs.
4. Carver Center's location adjacent to the 'no-charge' swimming pool provides a good location for
summer youth programs serving the neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 94-4743.
