Carolyn Crawford presented an update on Chamber of Commerce use of the Senior Center CHAMBER OF
November 22, 1997 and requested use for January 10, 1998. In addition to these two dates the COMMERCE USE OF
Chamber is seeking permission t use the Senior Center for the Miss Azusa contest. Staff has some SENIOR CENTER
serious concerns as the Senior Center is dedicated to those 50 years and older. The contest,
although viewed by many 50 and over, is a family affair and would open a whole new use for the
Center; which is not designed for general public use, i.e., the reception area and phone, library
and billiard rooms are not lockable.
After brief discussion, it was unanimously agreed that the policy of having the Senior Center
Advisory Council review all request for use of the Center be reaffirmed and the Chamber be
-ected to the Woman's Club House for future events.

Commission Minutes 12/4/97 Page Two
I'm speaking for a group of ladies that have played on the courts at Northside Park for many TENNIS COURTS
years. We commend the City workers for trying to keep the courts clean, but more and (CON'T)
more it seems to be a losing battle, as the courts are used and abused for activities other than
Tennis.
Seen on the courts: Skateboards, roller-blades & hockey sticks, basketballs, bikes, and one
late Sunday afternoon, a family complete with BBQ, ice chest and chairs. The enclosed
pictures show the mess left behind; typically a weekly scene.
Solution: How about locking and unlocking the court's gates night and morning the same as
restrooms? Also, some policing would help. Could our group have a key?
We really enjoy these courts, but hate the mess. Help! Sincerely, Jan Boyer
Condie reported that he had visited the property adjacent to Canyon Park and agrees that CANYON PARK
something temporary should be done, however, eventually the Oleander Plants will fill in and
become a permanent screen. He does not feel it is necessary to put up anything permanent.
