ITEM #3: CONSIDERATION OF TECHNOLOGY LEARNING CENTER FUTURE USE OF
SPACE IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER
The purpose of our assembling this afternoon/this evening is to inform all of the commissioners who are
here as to the status of the center's negotiations and resolution of the ongoing issues with TLC
(Technological Learning Center).
We have an agreement that has been drafted. That has been signed by TLC. The essence of the agreement
is that:
• The need of the center to have additional space available as been accomplished because TLC will
not have exclusive use of the room that they have been using.
• TLC will be dealt the same hand if will as that any other group that participating in the center has.
They will make reservations through the center, they will do the same kinds of things and have the
same economic responsibilities and/or benefits as any other group coming in.
Director Mayer commented: We set out with a couple goals. One to see if we could work out an
arrangement and the second part of that was the greater utilization. From the perspective of the Town and
as well as from Ralph's perspective that has been accomplished. He's in the position to book the space he
needs when he needs it. The two exceptions that we have with anybody else that is booking on a long term
basis.
1. Set it up so they could pay at the end of each quarter. We have 2 other long term users in the
building and that is what we do with them as well.
2. We with the Town when we book through the "Rec" division for programs, when we book those,
we don't actual cancel them until the Tuesday of the week before. That will allows us to make sure
we have best opportunity to fill those classes. We offered that agreement with Ralph which we
think was only fair.

Those are the 2 exceptions that we made to groups coming in, but we do have precedence set with other
groups for doing that. One other clarification: We take this to the Council on the 3rd. The Council will
then actually decide if they want us to proceed and then we would sign the agreement, it would be the Town
Manager and Director Mayer.
Ralph Craner thanked Mike, Kelley and Kathy. Also stated that they are happy. Starting out with 3 classes
a week,mainly due to we don't have laptops yet. Once they get the laptops they will move to 5 classes.

TLC. Commissioner Doty seconded and the motion passed by unanimous vote.
