2- <br />There were a number of questions raised by <br />each of the individuals in attendance ranging <br />1111 <br />from the need for such a facility as well as <br />possible programs that might occur at the <br />facility. Staff elaborated , indicating that <br />the facility could serve as a year round <br />facility with the sides coming off , thus <br />becoming a open air picnic shelter in the <br />summer time . At this time , an extensive com- <br />munity survey had not been completed regard- <br />ing the demand for the facility other than <br />informal meetings with representatives from <br />Lake Region Hockey who indicated they would <br />be very supportive of such a facility. <br />Possible programming activities includerent- <br />ing the facility out to large community <br />organizations , exhibits , arts and crafts <br />shows , community festivals such as Festival <br />in the Park , band concerts , roller skating , <br />roller hockey , .i door tennis , indoor floor <br />hockey and community fitness areas . <br />Staft indicated that at this time , he did not <br />have all the answers but rather was looking ' <br />for conceptual approval with additional <br />detail information to follow as time permit- <br />410 <br />ted .

Tree and landscaping in the amount of <br />50,000 was eliminated. <br />C Picnic tables were reduced to 70 tables <br />at a savings of $10, 500.
