� E. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
1. Pacific Northwest Regional Meeting
Kayo McGillivray will be attending this meeting in Spokane and will
be gone for the next scheduled meeting of the Commission. Since no
date was agreed upon at this meeting, a call will be made next month
the set the date.
2. Teen Center
Regarding the new hours of operation on Sunday, the first opening
did not have as good a response'as the second Sunday which showed
good response. The Center was also used as a meeting place for the
hockey temas during tournament time and as headquarters for the snow
machine races, both times drawing enthusiasm, support, and a good
overall response to the Center.
3. Use of Teen Center by Out of Town Groups
The Soldotna Seniors asked to use the Teen Center for a dance and
this inquiry raised the question of use of the Teen Center by groups
such as this. Following discussion it was decided that to promote
public interest, it would be good to allow out of town groups that
fit in with the conept of the Teen Center use the facility for 20%
of the gate with concessions being handled by Center personnel.

Meeting of March 2, 1982
I. COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Kayo McGillivrary informed the Commission that there are two metal
buildings available that the City has been trying to dispose of that
would meet the needs of the parks and recreation for storage of
equipment. Discussion was held on the two main concerns right now
which are the transportation costs of getting the buildings where they
are needed and the cost of getting the buildings set up and this would
include the cost of a concrete slab to set the building on.
Vince O'Reilly was asked about a rifle and pistol range. Paul Weller
and Vince O'Reilly had discussed the possibility at one time, and
the idea has since grown. Pat O'Connell will be getting back to
Mr. O'Reilly and Mr. McGillivrary with more details concerning funding
available for such a project. Vince O'Reilly brought up the question
of would this type of facility fit in with the plans for the gym.
Further discussion pending when more information is compiled.
J. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Special
meeting will be March 9, 1982 at 5:00 p.m.
The next regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission will
be set at a later date.
