Among the issues <br /> raised was a proposal that a full-size gymnasium be constructed, instead of the smaller programmed <br /> multi-purpose room, so as to accommodate wider community use of the facility. The Chapel Hill <br /> Town Council will consider a resolution(page 2) at their March 3 meeting requesting that the Board <br /> of Commissioners allocate funds for the construction of a full-size gymnasium. <br /> The Board requested additional information(see letter at page 3)regarding the possibility of <br /> pursuing the gymnasium proposal. The attached letter(page 4) from Chapel Hill Town Manager <br /> Cal Horton responds to questions about how the Special Use Permit application process might <br /> accommodate possible construction of a gymnasium. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools staff <br /> representatives will be available to discuss function and financing issues related to the multi- <br /> purpose room/gymnasium proposal. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss the proposal and <br /> provide appropriate direction to staff. <br />
