PART 2. - CRAFT AND HOBBY CLUBS IN CITY RECREATION CENTERS

Sec. 664.201. - Legislative findings.

The Council finds and determines that:

(a)

Craft and hobby clubs provide a unique and necessary means whereby the people of the City can learn, teach, promote, use and support arts and crafts for their education, enjoyment and personal use without the necessity for a publicly-supported arts and crafts program.

(b)

These craft and hobby clubs are small neighborhood or community organizations which cannot afford to construct, acquire or rent commercially-owned or -operated buildings and facilities and at the same time offer, at a reasonable cost, the arts and crafts for which they were organized.

(c)

The various recreation centers owned and operated by the City are ideal places in which the craft and hobby clubs can be allowed to promote, teach and support arts and crafts for the use, benefit and enjoyment of all the people who are interested in such activities.

(d)

The use of the recreation centers by these craft and hobby clubs will lead to a greater utilization of the centers and the involvement of more of the people in the activities in the centers.
