At the September 23, 2019 joint meeting, the City staff and architect Stephen Springs presented a PowerPoint presentation and discussed two potential options for a possible new community center, gymnasium, and indoor pool at the following locations:
1. North Side of Dow Park
2. South Side of Dow Park
The discussion included possible construction and operating costs, cost recovery options and Type B funding capacity. After discussion, the consensus was for the architect to bring back conceptual options for locating the facility on the North side of Dow Park as follows:
A. Cost not-to-exceed $31M
B. Cost not-to-exceed $34M
The consensus was for the architect to also bring back a concept for a new outdoor pool bathhouse.
A copy of the PowerPoint presentation to be presented at the meeting and Type B funding capacity scenarios are attached.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Expanded Type B funding authorized by the voters would be necessary to fund the construction of the new facility and operating and maintenance cost.
Recommended action:
Discussion only.
