3. Update on Community Center renovation — Garrett
Garrett stated the contractors are waiting on the steel for the construction. It should
arrive May 15th. The contractors are still on target for completing the project on
time. Morrow stated when the building was constructed steel was not built in the
walls. He stated that the roof that is being constructed is heavier than the existing
roof and the walls will need to be shored up when the roof is set. Garrett stated that
staff has a workshop scheduled in June with City Council to discuss the fees for the
Community Center then the board will review fees and go back to City Council to
approve. The previous fees associated with a non-profit versus commercial and
resident versus non-resident were discussed. Garrett explained some of the features
of the new center such as security cameras inside and outside the building, and a
sound system. Morrow stated that the Board will have to look at the fees of the
center such as commercial versus family reunions and wedding receptions. Garrett
stated that the board will be able to look at these fees in the June meeting.
