The City Council agreed to check existing survey and property lines and to send a letter clarifying ownership of the drive way and street parking.
Jessica Zullig with Jr. Kaws open gym asked the council if the Jr. Kaws team could use the old rural high-school gym for practices. Jr. Kaws would like to have open gym practices, there are about 140 kids in the district program. They would utilize the gym Mon-Friday 6p-8p and weekends. Season runs from mid-Nov to March, would run a little later this year due to late start.
City Council was agreeable to allowing the Jr. Kaws association to use the building, but would like to make sure restrooms are okay and working. Also, for Jessica to be responsible for scheduling and organizing the gym schedule for Jr. Kaws.
