The Carmittee discussed any number of Activities Ii. e .• activities,
~lasses and programs} that could prove desirable and useful at the
T~~ Community Center (the ·Center S ) • 1nitially, the Committee
foOCUsed on specific Activit1es$ i.otluen-ced by tb.e survey that ',raS
circulated and ret-urned in. late OeceJ!'ber. Later the Committee
realized that it would be best to allow City staff greater
diec~etiOD in selecting specific Activities t~ offex. There is.
nonetheless". a desir-e t.o ~rOYI6e Activities of wide general
intere$t~ those that ~4qe proved to be popular at other c~~ity
centers,. and t.hose tl"..at were thougbt m1ght be especially useful 1n
exposing ~he Terman Center to the entire Palo Alto community. It
is with tbis in mind that we provide tbe following listing cf
specific suggestions for Actl¥ities to be offered at the Center:
(lJ classes of general cODIllU..lJity interest., and other ha..ndS-OD
act.1vit.ies., that. have a proven track record of success. ~-9'-•
. art classes~ camps I ceramlcs., cooking, sewing# woodworking;
(2) classes of topical interest that are likely to be veIl
attended, e.g ~. comput.er use for novices" use of the Intero-et,
earthqu.a1te preparedr.-ess and ernezgency planning. addressing and
wvrkiog witb City Cou·ncil. City Boards and City comnissions"
and understanding City Hall,
0) health and fitnes/9 Frograms. where class time at the Center is

tennis court.s} facilit~_es on the TeI1l"an site ... either durins
the City's exclusive t.ime al1ocatiOlluooer t.he Terman Specific
Plan, or in coojUllction with the JCC during -time allocated to
th~ JCC \:Onder t.be Specific Plan (e.9' . ., .organized leagues and
drop-in sports in the gym coupled with classroom instruction
in the Center rooms);
(4) .clubs O~ organizations that need regular meeti~9 space. e.9~.
t.be existing Chess and Go-clubs" t.he Model Railroad Club.,
coamru.nity groups .. neighDo:rhood associations. an acoustic music
studio {subject,." of courae., to the requiremel'Jts of t-he Pa.lo
Alto NOise Ordinance~ the Te~ Specific Plan~ and aoy Use
Per.mitJ. provided that such ·r~~lar· usage does not preclude
th~ use af such rooms for ot.her desired Activities; a factor
current.ly in.'1.ibiting cOOIl1\.11l.ity use of the meeting room is the
hourly rental charge -poliCies and rates f~r su~b use need
revieW" and adjustment ,juring the Centerl's e:tart-up phase so as
~o encourage, not discourager use of the Center's facilities;
,5) special interest groups t.hat need meeting space for a specific
