<br />TAC Tour Discussion: <br />The TAC toured eight community buildings throughout the Twin Cities. Throughout the eight <br />tours there were 41 impressions from TAC members. <br />The buildings toured were Wakefield Park (Maplewood), Freedom Park (New Brighton), <br />Glacial Valley (Cottage Grove), Moore Lake Park (Fridley), Ojibway Park (Woodbury), <br />Vadnais Heights Commons (Vadnais Heights), Westwood Hills (St. Louis Park), Cedarholm <br />Golf Course (Roseville), John Hennen Pavillion (Lakeville). <br />Discussions regarding the positives and negatives of each building were discussed. <br /> <br />The TAC took a break at 8:54pm. <br />The TAC meeting resumed at 8:59pm. <br /> <br />Findings Discussion: <br />The TAC has gathered key findings of what they would like to see in the community building <br />and the area surrounding. They would like to see “maple leaf vibes”, historical items on <br />display, indoor and outdoor space, and they value the trees and vegetation. Inside they would <br />like to see two offices for recreation staff, rental space capacity of 120-150, separate <br />recreation programmable space and a small meeting room. Ample storage space for both <br />rentals and recreation is important. They would like a service kitchen with ample outlets and <br />counter space. They would like to see a 65-inch screen in the recreation space and two <br />larger projectors in the rental room. They would like an indoor and outdoor sound system, <br />public and private wifi, and high security including cameras and digital key pads. They would <br />like to see high end finishes that are durable including windows and window coverings, 14-18 <br />ft high ceilings, acoustics and indoor/outdoor artwork. They would like to see ample outdoor <br />space for both the public and private rentals. They would like a loading area for rentals, nano <br />walls in the rental room, outdoor electrical access, stationary outdoor seating, and knee <br />height walls to separate the private space from public. They would also like to consider <br />sustainability in the design. Solar panels, energy efficiency, geothermal and the use of local <br />materials have been discussed. <br /> <br />Report Development: <br />Steve A shared an initial draft of the executive summary. The TAC decided to change the <br />specific action of rainwater harvesting to a broader concept of stormwater management. After <br />making that change, the TAC approved the executive summary. <br />Steve A shared that himself, Laura Linehan, Bryce Shearen and Monika Miller would be on <br />the report subcommittee. The report structure will be as follows <br />1. Background <br />2. Mission <br />3. Core Purposes <br />4. TAC Process <br />5. Executive Summary <br />6. Recommendations <br />7.
