City Council <br />Study Session Summary <br />August 11, 2015 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br />facility to suit Louisville and not what is the trend of the day. Look at core needs. <br />Council member Lipton said we need flexible multi -use space that will suit the <br />community. <br />If the multipurpose field is included in the CIP, we will need parking. Keep the <br />focus on Recreation and Senior Center. Address the priority need. <br />Resident and non - resident use and fees should be considered. 85 — 87% use is <br />resident use. <br />We need to consider maintenance of new facility. <br />Mayor Muckle stated that on the pool question, we are looking for ways to <br />improve Memory Square. We need to make clear a primary objective is to keep <br />Memory Square. What are we looking for in terms of scale for aquatics? Council <br />member Dalton said we should stay away from building a big aquatic center to <br />attract people from other areas. We don't have the space for it. Should be <br />scaled for Louisville. <br />Council member Lipton said there has been some interest in building a high <br />performance training center for the region but we should not take that on. Look <br />for something community based. <br />Council member Keany said we need a 25m pool for swim meets. Parents would <br />like a play area for toddlers. We should provide somewhere for youth to hang <br />out. Would like larger pool with play features for kids. Perhaps volleyball pits. <br />May want to phase in locker rooms. Keany said he would be disappointed if we <br />scaled it back too much and the needs of the community are not met. <br />Council member Loo said she is half way between Hank and Jeff. <br />Public comments: <br />Shade is important. Safe pool with good lines of sight. Simple design. Have an <br />area for seniors. Need concessions. Need locker rooms. Needs bathrooms and <br />showers. <br />Chair Pro Tenn Dalton recommends having Council member Jeff Lipton be on the <br />proposal review team. Council member Loo recommends two Council members <br />on task force. <br />City Manager Fleming said the objective was to put a task force together as soon <br />as possible and get the RFP out. <br />City Manager's Report <br />
