2,1 Possible Joint-Use Agreements

stadium and what type of partnership will be formed. David Cavazos responded no,only
for track and field section and that the partnership will be on percentage of use. A
discussion continued on how the cost should be allocated. The SAUSD indicated that
the percentage of use does not take into account the funding already invested in the
•
site. David Cavazos indicated that the matter needed to be discussed further. It was
agreed that a special District/City Joint Policy meeting, hosted by the District would take
place at the end of March and focus on the prospects of a Joint Use Agreement at
Segerstrom High School.
Council Member Tinajero stated that we should learn about how the Valley High School
batting cages were done. He stated that certain deficiencies in those batting cages
should not be replicated at Segerstrom. He mentioned about the importance of lights
on the ball diamonds. He believes that lights on the ball diamonds will help all sports at
Segerstrom because the fields will then allow flexibility in moving sports around
depending on their needs. He also stated the importance on making sure the restrooms
were provided in such a way to make sure that easy access is accommodated to
students and the community.
