School District 112 Facility Ad Hoc Committee
The city council has raised questions about the School District 112 Facilities Ad
Hoc Committee and how it functions. This memo win attempt to explain what
they do.
The Facilities Ad Hoc Committee was established by School District 112 and is
comprised of members of various community athletic associations, School District
112, and representatives from the Cities of Chaska and Chanhassen, The committee
was initially assembled to establish guidelines and priority scheduling for District
112 indoor/outdoor facilities. The school district wanted to ensure equal use of their
facilities by youth associations and other groups.
While the Ad Hoc Committee was completing their work assignment, the School
District invited them to become involved in the redevelopment of the existing
Chaska High School and Chaska Middle School East outdoor athletic facilities, and
the development of the new middle school outdoor athletic facilities being proposed
for Chanhassen. Again, the purpose of these meetings was to gather input from the
potential users of these outdoor facilities to ensure that goals and objectives are met.
School District 112 is the lead agency governing the Ad Hoc Committee, The Ad
Hoc Committee makes recommendations to the Community Education Advisory
Council and, if change in policy is desired, recommendations are made to the School
Board.
The City of chanhassen's role is to be a partner and team member to help facilitate
scheduling, policies, and procedures for all School District facilities, both indoor
and outdoor. It has never been my impression that the School District was looking
for a financial commitment from the City to partner on these and future projects.
I hope this help clarify the Facility Ad Hoc Committee questions. If you have any
more questions, please stop by my office.
