Dear Mr. Delacorte:
Pursuant to your discussions with Vice Mayor AI Moore on April 4, 1980, I am pleasea
to accept, on behalf of the Village,-your offer to fund the crnLStructiar~ of an
athletic facility for the Village.
As discussed with Mr. Moore, your amtribution would enable the construction of .
about 16,000 square feet of floor space. We would finance the total project of
$640,000.00 over a"twro year period with the understanding tnat"the cost would be
underwritten by the Delacorte Foundation; i.e., funding in the affaLmt of $200,000.00
i~n. the fall of 1980, $220,000.00 in 1981 and $220,000.00 in 1982. The estimated cost
would be about $40.OO,per square foot. .
Design ..and construction could begin as soon as our land option and funding arrange-
menu are confirmed. We anticipate a groundbreaking for fine fall of 1980, with com-
pletion within fifteen months.
The staff-for the building would consist of three indiviaual-s working far oss Recrea-.
. tion Departc>rtst in the area of recreation pmgra¢ming. Tn. addition, maintenance -
:.wmuld be provided by an additional full-time individual in our Fublic Services De--
partment. At. today's prices, the operating budget will be between $60 and $80
-.- thousand aolLars per year.
Finally, the building to be named the '~eLacorte Pavilion," in honor of Valerie
Delacorte, would be open to the public for their use, free of charge.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you on this project, and applaud
your sense of ~(+*~m~tp spirit and willingness to bring to the c~ m~ty this
much neecLd facility. -
Si/nc/erely,
U ~~'~~
