DISCUSSION ITEMS
2. Recreation Center review of concept plans
Staff/Board Discussion
The Board and Staff discussed the layout of the new recreation center; here are some of the
items that were discussed.
• Daycare-the location was placed so that visibility was not an issue.
• Storage-when staff had looked at other facilities the most need that people had was for
storage.A comment was made about possible storage on top of ceiling above the offices;
there is a small space between the track and the ceiling of the offices. Staff noted that idea
had been considered but the funding would be too high.
• Security-Chairman Hiney had a concern on the layout of the building being that the structure
has lots of corners and spaces to hide,which could bring on situations for possible crime. Mr.
Diaz commented that staff has considered that problem and is looking into a camera security
system.
• Board Member Delgado commented on the Toddlers Bathroom having a little toilet as well as
an adult toilet in one restroom.
• Shade-a comment was made if shade was going to be put up in the back of the building.
3. Review budget and concept plans for the Founders Park Project
After much discussion of the budget and concept plan the agreement was to make the following
changes:
• The name"playground upgrade"needs to be put under Miscellaneous
• Concession Equipment needs to be under concession on Page 1
• Trails-all to be 10 feet wide
The concept C is the one that was decided on to present to Council for the layout of the Founders
Park Project,which represents the combined comments from Staff and the Park Board on the
design and meets budget of what the Council had set for this project.
