Task Force Meeting Minutes April 13th, 2016 Page 3 of 4 The senior center area was discussed next. It needs to be open and inviting, moved kitchen from the middle to the east, 2 large rooms and recapture the Garibaldi and Imperial for senior services. Game room added on to the east side by the Crown Room. Suggestion was to move the youth rooms to the east side as well but with separate hallways from senior services. Michael Menaker thinks the senior lounge may be too accessible to all users and may need to be relocated, perhaps by the Paramount Room. Deborah Fahey sees no failed flaws in the design, but questions the lobby to senior entry and then library. Proposed one of the multipurpose rooms be the computer lab. Michael Menaker said to consider laptops instead, Michelle Van Pelt questioned if we really need a computer only room looking into the future. Chris Kastelic said consider an internet cafe type of room. More discussion on space usage will come later. The MAC gym addition was discussed next. The area will be a track connection, turf flooring will be considered. City staff will create a list of activities that can occur on turf floor and rubberized surfaces for the next task force meeting. But the task force agreed with considering turf. Alex Gorsevski this will create two different program spaces with the wood gym floor and a turf floor. Revenue from renting the turf would be beneficial. Michael Menaker disagreed with creating space for rental revenue. Jeff Lipton said we need to think of demand, program into the future and that revenue streams are important. Chris Kastelic said the costs are comparable regardless of what flooring is put in the space, and that flooring could easily be changed in future years. Fitness space was the next area to discuss. Youth space will be moved to the north, out of the fitness area. Circuit/strength will be downstairs, along with stretching and plyo space. 60 spaces of cardio equipment will be upstairs, and the existing Fitzone will become a spin room (41 bikes). Restrooms will be added upstairs. Deborah Fahey asked if this was the time we looked at alternate energy sources, and how to hide cell towers. Hillary Andren -Wise said mechanical systems will be explored another at another date. Jeff Lipton said the Leeds gold standard will be looked at regarding mechanical and electrical. Goal is the same if net zero build. Chris Kastelic will show cost /benefits of alternative energy. As far as cell towers, they would need to be incorporated into the design so they appear as part of the building. Memory Square was that last discussion. Chris Kastelic presented a reconstructed pool house, size remains the same. Possible overhead for covered space, children's pool redesigned with pool and splash features. Mechanical systems are being evaluated. Shade cabanas would be added, and shade on the east side. Chris was not aware that the fence had been extended into the park area in 2009, which was one of the suggestions. Footprint as it stands will remain the same. Louise McClure would like desk space considered. Brett Commander said more storage is needed for Dolphins Swim Team and wondered if their storage on the north could be moved inside the complex. Lisa Norgard pointed out that the new design cut women's showers to 3, but that it should remain at 6 showers. Susan Loo reminded that the building connects to the Louisville Center for the Arts and may fall under design guidelines. City staff is meeting with Planning Department on Monday, April 18th regarding this. 4
