At the Council's request, 292 Design Group and RJM Construction have <br /> been asked to put together a basic improvement plan to include building system replacements (roof, <br /> HVAC,windows,interior treatments),ADA accessible restrooms,partitioned studio and billiards areas, <br /> storage space and office space to allow for expanded use and potential revenue. Parking needs were not <br /> addressed and would require neighboring property acquisition. <br /> Lastly, after much staff discussion,we have reached out to the school district to see if they would be open <br /> to some ERRS parking lot enhancements resulting in additional parking which may make the <br /> multipurpose recreation facility a viable option to host senior services. 292 Design and RIM are also <br /> including dedicated senior space within the existing multipurpose facility plan for consideration. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Existing Activity Center Concept Plan <br /> ■ Multipurpose Facility Dedicated Senior Space <br /> ■ Existing Activity Center Actual Utilized Space <br /> ■ DRAFT YMCA Partnership Agreement <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1 <br />
