Page A3 Fremont Tribune Wednesday, March 6, 1991 CALENDAR Parks Friends takes up city funds slack is awaiting tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, said foundation President Sara Dillow. Different people have differ-' ent interests, Dillow said. Some want new lights, new dugouts; but there just is not the money in the budget for these improvements. Sutton 'agreed, saying federal funds, which used to fund park expansion projects, are no longer available. And most of the citys funds for park and recreation are used for park maintenance and operations, he said.

With the present attitude on taxes, in the foreseeable future there will not be the funding available for park improvements, Sutton said. The six-member board will determine what projects receive funding and will be advised by Sutton and Joe Collins, city developing more soccer fields. For example, the $10,000 the Fremont Girls Softball plans to contribute to install lights at Miller Parks south softball field will be given to the foundation earmarked for that project, Sutton said. 'Raising money through the foundation for parks expansion wont decrease the citys park and recreation budget, he said. tvA! 1 BY DRU FRYKBERG Staff Writer A foundation has been formed to fund local park improvement projects while available city funds continue to shrink, said City Administrator Jack Sutton.

He was sentenced to an additional two years probation under the same terms and conditions.

Clarkson St. Bergans new gym addition almost finished BY CINDY HADISH Staff Writer Archbishop Bergan Junior-Senior High Schools gym addition should be completed by the end of the month. Superintendent Gary Schmidt said at Tuesdays Board of Education meeting. Ground-breaking for the addition, located on the Third Street side of the school, began in Sep- tember, Schmidt said. The mechanics of the structure should be done by April 1, he said.

Finishing touches will be added at that point. The actual size of the schools gymnasium has not been increased. On the ground level, a mens coaches office, weight room, storeroom, and custodial closet are near completion. A stairway leading to the second floor was poured on Tuesday. The upstairs will consist of a wrestling room, womens coaches office, girls locker room, custodial closet, whirlpool and dressing area.

This really gives us the room that we need, especially with the weight room, Schmidt, said. Weight equipment is currently kept on the stage area in the gymnasium. A rubberized floor covering has been selected for the weight room, wont tear, he said. The projected total cost of the project is about $250,000, Bergan Principal Randy Eikmeier said. About $147,000 has been spent so far.

The project is funded entirely by private donations and Bergan booster clubs. An open house for the completed gym addition will probably take place next fall, Schmidt said.
