S TAFF <br />REPORT <br /> <br />April 16, 1984 <br /> <br />POSITION STATEmeNT DRAFTED BY THE <br />QUAD CITIES RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />TO BE PRESENTED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE <br />GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES <br /> <br />I. In order to resolve the problem, both present and future, we jointly <br /> agree the highest priority must be given to emphasize the importance <br /> of each community developing their own active recreational facilities <br /> which encompass the needs of the entire Quad City recreation area <br /> where programs and facilities are~o'~ntl~ sh~red.l <br /> <br />II. A two year time frame has been established whereby each community has <br /> the opportunity to incorporate and develop their active recreational <br /> centers into their respective communities. In developing these active <br /> recreation centers, strong consideration must be given to the lighting <br /> of soccer fields and football fields ss the committee feels that the <br /> greatest problem is a shortage in these types of recreation facilities. <br /> <br />In the event that after two years communities have not completed the~ <br />development of these active recreation centers and have made no firm <br />commitment as to their completion dates, the committee recommends the <br />assessment of fees for the use of these active recreational centers <br />until such time that equalization of facilities used by participants <br />becomes a reality. The committee agrees that such assessments tend <br />to be discriminatory but feel it justifiable if communities cannot <br />provide their recreational responsibilities. <br /> <br />C~ <br /> of Anokc <br /> <br /> <br />
