Adopt, by motion, the senior facility concept plan <br />Background/Discussion <br />The City Council has identified several recreation improvements they wish to have considered for <br />funding through a successful Local Option Sales Tax referendum. One of the improvements is a senior <br />center. On August 6, 2018, the Council discussed facility options for senior services. They were again <br />discussed at the August 13, 2018, special meeting. At this special meeting, Councilmember Wagner was <br />recommended to work with a group of identified seniors, staff, and 292 Design Architect Tom Betti to <br />design a senior buildout at the proposed multipurpose facility. <br />The seniors include Anna Wagner, Jack Lorge, Jim Pepin, Jim Hecker, Sandy and Bob Krumweide. Two <br />meetings were held on Mondays, August 20 and 27 with discussions led by Tom Betti for a new senior <br />center to be connected to the proposed multipurpose facility. Many from the group also took a field trip <br />to the Shakopee facility that was recently completed by the 292 Design Group. <br />A concept design for the new senior facility was presented to the group on August 27. The seniors in the <br />group commented they liked the openness and square footage, including its connection to the overall <br />multipurpose facility providing a myriad of programming opportunities. <br />Once the concept plan is approved by Council, a presentation of the concept plan will be made at the <br />Senior Activity Center for all the seniors to review. <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachments <br />Senior Facility Design Concept <br />Shakopee Community Center PowerPoint <br />A IR <br />
