said if the extension was given for en indefinite period that would convert to e
permanent approval which, he said, concerned him. funher. the Chaner
expires with the end of the next uhool year, so to extend beyond the Charter's
contrau would also wncem him.
Mr-Bruning said if it was not passible to get the extensipq they would need to
begin to look for another site If Commiseioo's response was yes, that would
allow him to go back to the School Doard and explain to them and see if they
wit l extend the Chewer beyond the initial time

In respons to Deputy Mayor Anderson, Mr. Burning said they would begin to
make re-application to School Board at the end of this year.
Deputy Mayor Anderson said his ooncem was the word indefinite B[he Ciry
end the temporary useof the motlulars for two or threeyears, it
would gjVa Mr. Bruning the ability to approaoh the Sohool Board telling [hem
that they have those fncilities as wet l as give him eime to look elsewhere
thereby keeping him from getting into abind. This would proeeet the City
from having this use oontinuc indefinitely.
Commissioner Miller said he thought this was jumping the gun as Mr. Droning
admitted that he does not speak for the Church- Commissioner Miller
suggested tabling this request in order to have someone who speaks with
authority for that Church pres'en[ in order to ask the appropriate questions.
