RE: Armory/Community Facility Committee
The affect that the construction of planning for the National
Guard Armory and the possible joint use facility attached to it
will have on this community could be enormous.
Reviewing the needs, dreams and reality of funding, constructing
and operation of such a facility will be a major undertaking for
the community. Involvement by City staff, elected officials, and
representatives of various aspects of our community will be
essential in this project. To consider such a project without
involving a broad representation from the community would be an
error on our part. Support will be needed from different sectors
of our community to develope and approve any concept involving
gymnasium, ice hockey and community room/facility.
I would recommend therefore that a "Community Facility Committee"
be formed. This committee should be made up of representatives
of the city government, School District #196, business community,
athletic groups and general citizenry. I would recommend you
consider the following makeup:
2 - City Staff
2 - City Council/Mayor
2 - School District (Athletic, Community Ed.)
2 - City Park & Rec
2 - Business Representative
2 - Citizens at large
2 - Athletic Organizations (RAAA, RAHA)
I would recommend that the committee pick a chairman, two co-
chairmen and a secretary.
I recommend that the purpose of the committee is to 1) determine
the overall concept of a joint facility, 2) determine what uses
to place in the facility and the Armory, 3) determine estimated
costs of such facilities, 4) and recommend this to the city
council.
The type of facility to construct, the uses to be included and
the process to follow in completion of the project would be
included. 1his process would cover such items as bonding,
referendum vote, etc.
