SPI field house to allow for more than sports

 
And here is Catherine Parker previously - when supposedly only she knew about the alternative use provisions for the Field House -  

“In my opinion, hiring land use attorneys at $10,000 was unnecessary. …At a meeting between Mayor Joe Sack, Deputy Mayor Laura Brett, Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett and myself, Plunkett stated that while the county would be the lead agency, [the county] would take an advisory opinion from Rye…I stated that if Mayor Sack directed staff and commissions, Rye could bring their findings to the meeting with the Board of Legislators. As a legislator for Rye, I feel an additional sense of responsibility to incorporate the advisory opinion of Rye into my deliberations.”
