CiViC CENTER MASTER PLAN
The attached correspondences arrived after I copied the packet.

December 6, 2001
To Mayor John Mehaffey and the saratoga Gib/ Council,
I Would like to encourage the city council to delay a decision on the
Plans for the Saratoga Civic Center Improvement Project.
As an observer at the Mayor's Adhoc Public Safety Center
advisory group, it seems to me that the Public Safety Center
Design Concepts should be Stud/ed before a final decision on land
use at City Hall is made.
As part of the design options the City mentions in/ts RFP is
locating-one of the three primary agencies from the site.
Options will be Presented December 17 and this may impact your
'final decision on city hall improvements.
Thank you for Considering my request,
Madene Duffin

RE: Civic Center/GYM proposal
Bev,
I am traveling this week, but am very interested in this project.
Clearly,
we would like to see the civic center project include a multi-use
95a~nasium.
MY wife Jody and I have become increasingly concerned and aware of a
lack of
available facilities for our Saratoga youth. My understanding is that
we
continue to turn away many children in our community sports programs due
to
a lack of these types of facilities.
Jody and I have been proud members of the Saratoga community for 15
years
and are raising our two children in the public school systems. I cannot
help but believe that a robust and lively community sports program,
supported by a new multi-purpose qymnasium, would enhance the excellent
educational and civic programs that we Saratoga residents enjoy.
Exposing
our children to the benefits of team-oriented sports will, in my
Opinion,
provide them with balance and confidence as they grow up in our .
increasingly
complex world.
I'm sure the City Council receives many requests like this from citizens
who
would like to have the City support additional services. Jody and I
understand that this is a burden the City of Saratoga may not be able to
afford on its own. We are therefore also willing to commit a
significant
contribution to the project from our charitable foundation and will be
active fundraisers should the City look to create a partnership with the
community.
Although I won't be able to attend the meeting in person, please feel
free
to convey my feelings and commitment to the City Council as appropriate.
will be available over the next few weeks to discuss this matter further
if
appropriate.
Sincerely,
Stratton Sclavos
