billed for, plus the $4,000 difference between the cost of
the new architect and the previous contract, will never
purchase recreation equipment the children of Azusa will
be able to use. Furthermore, letting this contract
necessitates instituting a delay in time in realizing
a recreation center, at least to the extent of 6 months,
the other plans having been delayed at least that long
previously. The original plans were drawn by Brooks to
meet $175,000 as this construction calls for. The
estimated price having been brought to $200,000 came at
the request of the Park and Recreation Commission after
consideration. I would like to read an excerpt from the
minutes of the Park and Recreation Commission meeting
held on October 1st, 1953 as follows:
"Topic of the special meeting was a review of the changes
made on sketches of the proposed community center building.
Chairman Paroulek passed out copies of the sketch to all
Commission members. All changes suggested by the Commission
at their regular meeting had been incorporated in the
revised sketch. Having met with the approval of the entire
Commission, it was agreed that sketch and accompanying
information be presented to the Council on October 5th."
'
For the above reason I feel the plans already approved
should be put in effect. Since this is not possible with
the present Council and since I am as anxious a the Park
and Recreation Commission to provide adequate recreation
for the City at the earliest possible date, I am going
to vote "yes" on the new contract.
"
Councilman Ortuno stated he voted "no" because he feels
we already have adequate plans on hand.
