Statement of the Matter
The kiln and tennis ball machine have been recommended by the
City Manager in the Preliminary Budget in Fund 5-133, object number 9.1,
for which we request an -advance of $1,295 to allow purchase in time for
peak usage months in the summer.
The kiln will be in use year round to accomodate craft classes
involving all age groups, but purchase should be made in time for
availability during the peak' usage months of th•e,summer.

Staff Recommendations
Elementary, junior high and high school students will have classes
in the summer and adults and senior citizens -will utilize
the equipment on a year round basis. Craft classes have been.a
very•pppular part of our elementary age programs and classes have
been re -quested i.n ceramics for older students and adults.
Tennis lessons have become a year-round activity, serving
.players from age 10 through adults. Last -summer our instructor
used his own machine and it was enthusiastically accepted by the
students and endorsed by the instructor. Since the introduction
of the machine, we had to expand classes more hours and operate
year round lessons. Once again, purchase of this equipment should
be insured in time for maximum usage during 'the summer.
