Y.~O?~NDL~ 07 UNDERSTA~NDING
T~S AGREemENT, entered into this day of ,
1982, by and between the City of Columbia Heights, a municipal
corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "City", and Columbia
Heights Independent School District No. 13, a municipal corpora-
tion, hereinafter referred to as the "School District", both
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota.
WITNESSETH:
h~EREAS, the School District has discontinued the use of
:he Columbia Junior High School building, hereinafter called
"Columbia", for its regular school program, and
VIEREAS, both the School District and the City find it
desirable to use the Columbia building for programs of the
Joint Recreation and 6or~munity Services Cot?~..ission; and
kiHEREAS, the School District and the City have historically
donated moneF and facility availability to the Commission on a
rough equal basis;
nO~, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the School
District and the City as follows:
1. The School District will make Columbia available to
the Co~ission for use in conjunction with its recreation
program.
2. The Recreation and Community Services Commission will
have use of Columbia after 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday,
and from 8:00 a.m. on Saturday of each week of the period covered

by joint action of both parties hereto.
Motion by ~orberg, second by Hentges to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into
an agreement exactly as proposed in the Memorandum of Understanding. Councilman Norberg
felt this agreement should be made because it clearly defines the items, specifically
those of sharing costs, that the School Board and the City Council agree on. Mayor Naw-
rocki spoke against the agreement because he feels recreation and community education goes
beyond athletics and should be addressed in the agreement. Roll call: Hovland, Norberg,

10. Other New Business
· Mayor Nawrocki commended the employees of the Public Works Department for the truly'
superior job done with snow removal. He noted that the streets and alleyways in the City
were made passable much earlier than the surrounding communities and that all those
people involved should be commended. He also spoke to the measures taken by the Police
and Fire Departments to be prepared for emergencies that may arise from the weather.
b. It was noted by the Mayor that at this time it is fairly well known what reductions will
be forthcoming in the City state aids and homestead credits. He suggested that it would
be wise if the Council consider what impact these reductions will have on the 1982 budget
and possible revisions. He al~o thinks future reductions in the years to come and loss of
population should be looked at on a long term basis.
