COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />5.01: Recommend an Analysis and Finding on Community Center Options <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood provided an overview of the <br />discussion regarding a possible future community center. What must be investigated further, is <br />whether there is support for a centralized location or decentralized locations, for a public/private <br />partnership, programming models, and many other variables. He would like the Commission to <br />recommend that the Council consider these questions, and take a year if necessary, to endeavor <br />on a strategic approach to define the questions/options/alternatives for the community. He would <br />like staff to develop an executive summary that is easy for residents to read. He also noted that it <br />tends to be easy to support the concept of a community center, but the public needs to realize <br />how expensive they are to operate. He concluded by saying that the Boards and Commissions <br />are comprised of residents, and they represent a significant way that residents are getting <br />involved with this process. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Sis asked whether there has been consideration in City budgeting for a community <br />center. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood responded the community center has <br />been discussed by residents and policymakers for many years. What happens is that it goes in the <br />CIP and it is shown as a possible price tag of $8-12 million, and during the discussion of the CIP, <br />and it is realized there is no budget for it. Subsequently, it is decided that items without a budget <br />should not be in the CIP. Then the community center is removed, but then the discussion comes <br />back around again. Thus, the goal is to have better financial figures and better describe the actual <br />project. Whatever outcomes results from the analysis will be very good information. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/October 11, 2018 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
