APPENDIX C
DISCUSSIONS WITH SAN RAMON VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER
REGARDING
SHANNON COMMUNITY CENTER
The Committee initially met with Mr. Dave Stegman at its meeting of
April 27 , 1983. The key points discussed at that meeting were as
follows :
- DSRSD pays SRVCC $2 ,000 per month as a subsidy representing the cost
of keeping the building closed.
- Shannon Center ' s operating budget is $72 ,000 .
- Shannon Center operated on a pay-as-you-go basis .
- Shannon Center is not used to its capacity, particularly during the
day.
- Shannon Center office space could be utilized by the City in the
future .
- SRVCC would need to know well in advance if the City was to manage
Shannon Center.
- City could rent unused portion of building at same cost borne by
SRVCC.
- City programs in the Center would have to be compatible with
existing uses .
In a subsequent meeting with San Ramon Valley Community Center (SRVCC)
staff, a subcommittee from the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee was
informed that the SRVCC could not identify in advance which portions of
the Shannon Community Center would be available for City use . In a
written communication dated May 11 , 1983 (see attached) , the SRVCC
indicated the charge to the City for use of the facility would be
$6 .00/hr between 8 : 00 a.m. and 5 : 00 p.m. , Monday - Friday. Rates for
hours after 5 :00 p.m. and weekends would be negotiable . The Committee
determined that it would be difficult to work out a cooperative
arrangement with the SRVCC, and that the City might be better focusing on
a vacant school site for recreation use during the upcoming year.
