Parks Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> January 29,2001 <br /> Page 2 <br /> focus on a main shelter by the wading pool, closer to the field, and rearrange the spacing of the <br /> wading pool,hockey rink, and fields. Then the permanent bathrooms could be located at <br /> Watertower Park. <br /> Gebhardt asked if the concession stand would be closer to the skate park. Jindra stated the <br /> separate concession stand would be eliminated. She noted this is partly due to the price <br /> estimates. <br /> Commissioner Jensen stated his support for this proposal. <br /> Gebhardt stated several comments were made at the neighborhood meeting about the lack of <br /> bathrooms and the distance to the bathrooms. Jindra stated they may ask the high school to place <br /> satellite bathrooms during the summer months. <br /> Mr. Hartman reviewed the cost estimates that were made. <br /> Zurbey noted the location of the existing sewer and water services and asked if that is a <br /> consideration. Mr. Kost stated new utility services are needed anyway so the cost would not be <br /> significant. <br /> Anderson stated the cost estimates being'used today are based on$150 per square foot. <br /> Mr. Kost stated he believes combining the buildings will be more cost effective and efficient. <br /> Jindra reviewed the building elements and configuration of the redesigned shelter. She noted the <br /> open pavilion space and the concession area located in the center. She stated they talked about <br /> using a color that is non-intrusive and blends into the area. <br /> Zurbey expressed concern about the distance from the fields to the concession stand. Anderson <br /> estimated it may add 100 feet in distance. <br /> Jindra suggested that Ms. Olivier be asked to recalculate the estimate based on this consolidated <br /> design. <br /> Anderson stated the shelter was estimated at$114 per square foot and Ms. Olivier indicated she <br /> will work with$150 per square foot. <br /> Gebhardt raise the issue of who will operate the concession stand. She stated she has heard <br /> people do not want this to become a"tournament facility"but she supports putting in a <br /> concession stand and figuring out the logistics later. Gebhardt asked if the concession stand will <br /> be used a lot. <br />
