Will the City continue to provide Recreational and Senior programming during the construction and renovation phase of the plan?
Yes, under the proposed sequencing of construction, programming would continue to be provided at the current Community Building/Senior Center location until the Library/Community Building/Senior Center is completed.
Will there be public input on the design of the proposed Library/Community Building/Senior Center?
Yes, the City would solicit public input in Town Halls during the architecture design phase of the facility. The Facilities Master Plan focuses on location and function of facilities, rather than design. Under the proposed ideal schedule for implementation, the design phase would occur in late 2023 or early 2024.
Will there be improvements to the Animal Services building?
Yes, under the proposed plan a new Animal Services facility would be constructed at the Westpark and Dincans location. This facility would include an expanded climate-controlled interior, as well as an exterior dog run.
Will sustainability goals be included in the implementation of the plan?
Any policies and directions from Council regarding sustainability will be followed in the implementation of the plan. In addition, any new facilities will be more energy efficient than existing ones.
Council will be holding a LEED Workshop examining sustainability options and costs for the design of the Public Works campus in June-July 2022.
