Parks and Recreation Commission -2- May 26, 1981
The Commission immediately walked next door to the First Bap-
tist Church, 6019 Baldwin, Temple City. A member of the
Congregation welcomed the Couauission and pointed out the
features of the Facility. The building contained a full -
size basketball court and could accommodate two volleyball
courts. The floor of the building was vinyl tile over a
concrete slab. The building also contained a stage at one
end, showers and locker rooms, a fully equipped kitchen and
entry lobby. The design of the building made the facility
appear as a large community room rather than a gymnasium.
The guide estimated the building was constructed in 1965 or
1966 but did not know the cost. The tour ended at approxi-
mately 7:15 p.m.
It was the decision of the Commission, because of personal
schedules, not to tour Live Oak Park or discuss the General
Plan, California Parklands Act of 1980 or discuss previous
tours of nearby Parks and Recreation Facilities as planned,
but to continue discussion on these agenda items to June
3, 1981.
ADJOURNMENT
5. Commissioner Adams moved to adjourn to an adjourned meeting
of the Parks and Recreation Commission to be held on Wednes-
day, June 3, 1981 at 6:30 p.m. in the Meeting Room at Live
Oak Park, 1.0144 Bogue Street, Temple City. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Shaw and carried. Chairman Burlingame
adjourned the meeting at 7:20 p.m.
