Mr. t lurner stated the problem of remodeling an existing building is the cost is usually around <br />one htmdrcd and fifty percent more than to build a new one. <br /> <br />Mr. Lind stated they did bring this up at a club meeting before presenting it to the Park Board and <br />thc members would like to see this project done before any other project is done in the City in <br />rcgards to the donation. He noted that the members overwhelmingly agreed only on this project. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood asked if the building would be $239,000 for costs. <br /> <br />Mt'. Hurner stated that was excluding architect fees. They estimate the total cost to be $260,000 <br />and tile Lions would donate approximately seventy percent upfront. <br /> <br />l~arks/Uti lities Riverblood suggested the Commission make a formal recommendation to the City <br />Council For this item. <br /> <br />Mr. Nm'ncr indicated if this is approved and gets built, the Lions would like to contribute to all <br />ibc new parks as far as structures. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Ostrum, seconded by Commissioner Olds, to recommend approval of a <br />new fitcility at Central Park with a donation from the Lions Club for it and any future funds to be <br />allocated for the cost of the building until paid for. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Johns, Commissioners Ostrum, Olds, LaMere, <br />l,chman, Pontius and Shryock. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />Mr. Schafer asked if this is approved by the City Council, what the timing would be on this. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns asked how much involvement the Lions Club can have in this project. <br />Thc Lions indicated they would like to help out as much as they can. <br /> <br />It was indicated tile Lions would need to place bids if they wanted to help construct the building <br />in order to be fair. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood thought the athletic associations should be consulted on <br />this because of the option of having a concession stand with running water and sewer. <br /> <br />(;omm i ssioner Olds remembered at the last meeting the Lions indicated they could rough in the <br />sewer and water so when it comes up to the park the building would be ready for it. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns did not remember this being discussed except the Lions telling them it would <br />be too cxpensive to run sewer and water to the building. <br /> <br />Chaiq~¢rson Johns indicated she would rather improve on the existing building but did not want <br />to lose anything. She thought this may also be a good place for more storage. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/May 12, 2005 <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
