COMMUNITY/YOUTH CENTER STUDY SESSION:
City Manager Wade McKinney welcomed everyone to the study session and explained the City's
current expenses and revenues.
Community Services Manager Geoff English summarized the questions being asked of the
participants tonight: Where will it go?, What will it look like?, How much will it cost? And
Where do we get the money?
Mayor Pro Tem Arrambide suggested that we remember that this proposed project will be a
Community/Youth Center. Council Member Clay agreed.
Mr. English reviewed the potential sites that were suggested by staff.
Council Member Luna stated he feels site #4 is the best alternative along with moving the Streets
Division yard out of the downtown. He explained that this would allow for future expansion of
the Community /Youth Center including a swimming pool, tennis courts, etc. There was
consensus within the City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission that they agreed
with Council Member Luna and directed staff to focus on site#4.
Mr. English reviewed the potential designs suggested by staff and their potential costs.
There was consensus within the City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission that
staff should not focus on design or how much money it will cost, but rather build in phases as we
can afford it. There was also discussion about possible fundraising efforts including a catalog.
