Dear Mr. Bridgewater:

I am writing in response to your recent letter and
“architectural report" for developing a soccer centre. “AS
we previously indicated the City of Port Coquitlam is
interested to participate in a acheme like your proposal.
We find that our municipal recreations needs are
complementary to your playing field requirements. By
supplementing each other, a better facility could be
developed to meet both groups needs.

Like yourselves, the City is working under constraints of
the present recession. Due to that, we have examined your
plans, searching for a way to stage construction and use
existing or proposed commercial services to make the
project feasible. Before outlining our ideas for
developing a sports centre, I would point out that we have
not contacted any development firms about feasibility of
"for profit” elements of the programme nor has it been
approved oy City Council. This report contains staff ideas
about how the architectural scheme you are suggesting can
be brought about. It is written as an outline to guide
development of our suggested site, Reeve Street Park,
leaving a maximun Level of flexibility to alter

construction staging or financing.

I hope you find our development programme to be of
interest.

Yours truly,

B.R. Kirk
City Administrator
