Mr <br />Busch discussed the process thus far and the details of the proposed plans and cost estimates that were included <br />in the commission packet. At the onset, three planning principle goals were identified. Those were to 1) <br />improve circulation 2) improve safety and 3)improve the overall functional use of the facility. As a result of <br />these goals and the process of involving the community and the user groups in planning, several other project <br />items were identified to help meet these goals. The cost estimates for all the projects do exceed the $500K <br />budget so reductions will need to be made or new money identified. Some of the items will be included as bid <br />alternates in the event a favorable bidding price is received. <br />Commission Recommendation: <br /> Motion by Pederson, second by Willmus to approve the concept plans as <br />presented. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br /> DEPARTMENT REVIEW <br />4. <br />Staff shared a variety of upcoming programs and encouraged the community to get involved.
