Item: 7 <br />of <br />.ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: October 10, 2007 <br />SUBJECT: Directors Report <br />• YMCA project: RJM Construction has broken ground on the YMCA project with an <br />anticipated completion date of October of 2008. <br />• Library project: Grand opening is scheduled for October 13, 2007. A symbolic book <br />passing event will take place at 10:00 AM on Saturday October 6. Commissioners are <br />encouraged to show up along the route and help pass some books to the new library. <br />• The 5 year Parks CIP was reviewed by the City Council in September. The <br />subsequent newspaper article received quite a bit of attention. Staff wishes to clarify <br />that the projects listed in the CIP are not a finalized schedule, nor are there sufficient <br />funds available to build these projects due the downturn in the housing market. The <br />5 year CIP is a planning document that attempts to balance spending based on <br />projected fee revenue. <br />• Ice Arena Lobby: Based on an Ice Arena Commission recommendation the City <br />Council has directed staff to explore options for expanding the Ice Arena Lobby. <br />The primary goal of this project would be to improve crowd circulation, create a <br />seating area for the concession stand and to address fire code issues related to room <br />capacity. Staff will present the potential concepts at the October 10, Park <br />Commission meeting. <br />
