3 have been active in considering the possible uses of the Cayuga Heights
school building by the Cayuga'Heights Community Center, Inc. On April 16
with Mrs. Matyas, Mrs. MacDougall, and Mr. Allee I met with Gary Lindenbaum
and Paul Butler so that we might find some firm statement regarding the space
in the building that would be available to the Center. Mr. Lindenbaum stated
that the Village could have use of the Learning Center, the kitchen, the music
room, the teachers' lounge, and the bathroom associated with the teachers'
lounge. He said further that the Broome Developmental program occupied its
space from day to day only until 5:00 p.m. in the evenings. This would be
available to the Village. Mr. Lindenbaum said also that there was no intent
to place a time limit on use of space by the Village. On the other hand, it
was understood that the Village would have to experiment in its use of space
and that some adjustments might be necessary. We also considered the possibility
that some of the other tenants might not carry their programs beyond the first
year and that use of their space might come up for consideration.
A further matter concerned use of the gymnasium. The wish of the Association
was to have some time allotted to Villagers so that they might share its use
with the other tenants in the building. No program to meet this need has yet
been drawn up.
On May 8 Mrs. Matyas, Mr. and Mrs. Lambert, and Mr. Allee and I met with
Architect David Taube at the school building and discussed ways in which the
space allotted to us might be used. Our notions on this matter were quite
tentative, especially in relation to use of the large music room. The only
decision in the matter was that plans for use should be tentative and allow for the
fact that during the next year it would be appropriate to experiment in the
use of partitions and other kinds of dividers.
I am writing this before I have a chance to know what will be in the Engineer's
report. It may be that the subject I now discuss will be dealt with also by him.
Engineer Rogers and I and Trustee Anderson have spent some time during the last
month considering ways in which a more full and accurate record of the activities
of the work force might be kept. We have prepared certain forms which will
record in some detail the nature of individual work projects undertaken by the
force. Here questions of original estimates of time spent, of materials used,
etc., will be kept. Another form we have considered will record in a new way
the daily work of each individual member of the work force. Our present inten-
tion is to experiment with forms of this kind and report to you later what our
experience is in the use of them.
