about the concerns of the people in the area, and has
changed his view of the project; that residents in the
area are concerned about the precedent that would be (78)
set; that there is a proliferation of small 15-20
unit operations in the area which could result in
conversions similar to that proposed; that he did not
find fault with the project, but the problem that ,
the precedent could cause for the remainder of the street;

in the area and for the City if the project were riot
allowed.

2. P.S. MARATHON
Recommendation: That the Council approve concept of
the marathon program to be funded in 1982-83 budget.
City Manager stated that he could recommend the project
to the extent that it is a desirable service, but not
essential , and is an excellent opportunity to cover
the cost through private funding, with the exception
of the $10,000 to be paid by the City, which is -the (61 )
same level as last year. He stated that it is the
kind of activity that is desirable and would benefit ti
many segments of the community; that there is a good
deal of background that the Council may want to review
in its budget session; that the staff's position is
that the project pay for itself; and that there was
a small net profit last year - recognizing the iproject
was also on a smaller scale - estimated at $14,000 which y
went to Parks for People. He stated that in addition
to the $10,000 paid by the City last year, there were
some items which were not costed out.
In answer to question by Council , City Manager stated
that the $10,000 paid last year was not repaid;, and
it is recommended that should there be a loss next
time, no proceeds should go to Parks for People.
Councilman Maryanov stated that he believed staff can prevent
the City from incurring any large encumbrance, and he would
support the concept, recognizing that no decision was being
made relative to funding.
Mayor stated he would be opposed to spending a large amount
of City funds; that he believed the project can be accomplished
through private funds; and that he was aware of a bank making a
large donation.
It was moved by Doyle, seconded by Ortner, and unanimously carried, ,
that the concept of the marathon program be approved.
