She then stated that the Task Force was formed as a result of <br />requests from the 2001 group and that the Task Force had been working for 10 <br />months to prepare a proposal for a community center for Elk River. Pat <br />Rasmusson mentioned that the Task Force had visited 10 other community <br />centers and had spoken with various groups including the Elk River Community <br />Theater, the Elk River Area Arts Council, Guardian Angels and the Greater <br />Elk River Area Foundation. She then read the Mission Statement prepared by <br />the Task Force. <br /> <br />Zack Johnson distributed the draft project proposals to the Task Force and <br />went through the proposal with the City Council. Zack stated that a major <br />portion of the proposal is the space allocation program which describes <br />which activities will be included in the community center, the square <br />footage of each activity and the cost associated with the .activity. He <br />further stated that the community survey was used as a basis of discussions <br />and a means of prioritizing components of the community center. He stated <br />that a concern of the Task Force was accessibility of the users of the <br />community center. This was both physical access and financial access. <br /> <br />Zack reviewed the program summary with the Council. He indicated that the <br />total square footage for all of the activities listed was greater than <br />100,000 square feet. He also stated that outdoor activities are included as <br />a component of the community center. He indicated to the Council that this <br />is the ultimate facility which plans for future growth. The program design <br />criteria was discussed including the benefits of the community center being <br />located in a municipal complex or campus setting. Zack indicated that the <br />Task Force did not program or address either a police station or City Hall <br />in' the proposal. The detailed design criteria diagrams show the types of <br />activities and how each activity would be equipped. <br /> <br />The site selection and analysis portion of the proposal was reviewed. Zack <br />indicated that the Task Force originally identified sixteen possible sites <br />and then narrowed those sites down to five sites and further narrowed that <br />to two sites. The Task Force was aware that it had no authority to make a <br />decision on site selection; however, the Task Force felt that any research <br /> <br /> <br />
