I received <br />the questions we were to discuss, and so I will try to address them here so <br />that hopefully you can receive a copy of my answers. I admit that I do not <br />have much experience in planning buildings, or even in organizing such a <br />large undertaking, but I hope my responses can be helpful anyway. <br /> <br />-What are the next steps? <br />The Commission has been discussing this issue for quite some time now, and <br />I think that more discussions without action will get us nowhere. We have <br />community input and we know what sort of a space we are interested in, so <br />the next step would be to compile the results, and choose which features we <br />want (in this step I would suggest not worrying about practicallity, choose <br />what we would want in an ideal situation and only cut ideas later). When <br />we have a list of the desired features, we should consult an architect, <br />receive estimates and then, if neccessary, choose would items should stay <br />or go. (I apologize if all of this has already been done, I do not know <br />exactly where we stand on the project.) <br /> <br />-What organizational approach? <br />Frankly, I do not know how to answer this question. Sorry! <br /> <br />-Timeline? <br />If we had a list of the features on hand, we consulted someone, and narrowed <br />the list to a feasible price range, the process would take care of itself. <br />I hope the center could be completely done in five years, but again, I have <br />no concept of how reasonable this estimate is. By summer I should hope we <br />have a rough plan and only need to procure funds. <br /> <br />-Who will be responsible? <br />It seems to me that the Parks and Rec Commission has been leading the <br />planning so far, so it should also be responsible for its continuation. <br />Because of the size of this project it will be absolutely neccessary for <br />constant participation between the City Council and the group directly <br />working on the project. <br /> <br /> <br />I hope you find these answers interesting or helpful. I look forward to <br />talking with you soon. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Caitlan McLoon <br /> <br />1 <br />
