1. Joint Facilities Task Force Committee Recommendation for Recreational, Social, and Cultural
Amenities
Mayor Tabke presented Council with a presentation regarding community center/athletic
improvements.
On May 27, 2014 the City Council and the School Board held a joint work session meeting to
discuss facilities needed for the community. The facilities discussion included a second sheet of
ice, gymnastics space, senior needs, multi-sport turfed outdoor fields and multi-sport indoor turfed
fields/field house. The group also discussed the use of the school pools and the plans for the Central
Family Center,which is currently owned by ISD 720.
The result of the work session was the appointment of a Joint Facilities Task Force to evaluate what
facilities the community needs and wants, and look for ways for the facilities to be completed
together.The overall concept would focus on the Community Center being used for athletic
programs.
The task force met five times. At the November 3rd meeting,the Task Force recommended 3-1,
with Councilor Lehman voting "no", that the City Council approve conducting a feasibility study
for the improvements of a 2nd sheet of ice,turf bubble or field house, indoor/outdoor aquatic
facility, improved fitness space and an indoor playground.
Mayor Tabke said the School District would like to donate to the City their building known as
Central Family Center, 505 Holmes St. Mayor Tabke said he would like to utilize that building for
social programming such as a senior center, art center, and other social amenities.
The recommendation of the Task Force was that the City spend up to $75,000 for the feasibility
studies to be done by March 2015 and also identified non-referendum funding options of up to
$25,000,000.
Cncl. Luce doesn't feel comfortable with the short time frame for the feasibility study. Cncl.
Whiting had concerns with the estimated amount of the project as well as the financial
commitments from the sport associations.
Citizens Ryan McNee, Ed Loisell, and Renee Schmid all addressed Council in support of the
recommendations. Citizen Lori Brandon expressed her disagreement with the recommendations.
Moved by Councilmember Kathi Mocol, Seconded by Councilmember Jay Whiting moved to
direct staff to order a feasibility study to be brought back as soon as possible but to take time to do
it correctly. Cncl. Luce amended the motion to bring back the feasibility study in May,2015.
