Fall 2020 Final AG

We invite you to get involved as the Task Force transitions to Phase 2 of the study process

Phase 1 Findings After a 10-month study process, the Task Force’s findings indicated that the community wants and needs a community center, while identifying at a high level what components should be included, such as: aquatics facilities, indoor sports, fitness facilities, dedicated senior programming, general programming and community gathering space, and youth & teen activities. Phase 2 In Phase 2, the task force is drilling into the details, including: • Community engagement activities that will include a second round of stakeholder focus group discussions, community meetings, as well as a second statistically valid survey toward the end of the process that will measure resident perceptions and support of the emerging proposal. • Further refinement of programming space and development of building concepts. • An exploration of potential partnerships. • A detailed site review process to identify the most feasible options based on a set of selection criteria, such as size/flexibility, site control/owner- ship, location and accessibility, and preservation of green space. • Development of a business plan with estimates for construction, opera- tions, ongoing maintenance, revenue estimates, cost recovery models, and possible funding mechanisms. The Task Force hopes to bring its work to a conclusion late 2020/early 2021, with a report to City Council. Please stay tuned, at www.uacommunitycenter.com
