Bernard stated <br />that could be accomplished. <br /> <br />Keany asked that the Recreation Center/Senior Center expansion and outdoor swimming <br />pool be designed to be energy efficient. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that he liked the suggestion that the In-line Skating Facility to be located to <br />either the outdoor swimming pool or the police department, which would accomodate <br />shared parking. He asked if a value has been assessed to the outdoor pool. Bernard <br />responded 2.9 million dollars. <br /> <br />Sisk asked for the number of lanes proposed for the outdoor pool. Bernard responded six <br />lanes. <br /> <br />Sisk asked if the cost of eight lanes could be investigated. Sisk addressed the Senior <br />Facility expansion and asked Bernard if the current function could operate in another <br />location or design. Bernard responded that he has not looked at that issue. <br /> <br />Sisk addressed the acoustical issues of the Senior Citizen, and asked if the sound could be <br />muffled. Bernard stated that they have reviewed the issues of partitions. <br /> <br />Sisk congratulated the design team, the Steering Committee, Keith Williams and Kathy <br />Martin. <br /> <br />Van Pelt also congratulated the Steering Committee, the Architectural Firm, Keith <br />Williams, Kathy Martin and the Recreation/Senior Staff for an outstanding job. She <br />asked Recreation Director Williams what basis was used to calculate the $300,000 <br />revenue estimate for the outdoor pool. <br /> <br />Williams stated that the calculation is based on a nation-wide outdoor swimming pool <br />trend. The key areas of revenues were from admissions, season passes, family passes, <br />group sales, etc. He stated that a pool of this nature would have approximately 500 users <br />per day. <br /> <br />Van Pelt addressed the issue of covering the outdoor pool. She asked if there was an <br />opportunity to partnership with the Boulder Valley School District to cover some of those <br />needs including expanding to an eight-lane pool. She noted that the School District would <br />be a big user in that case and eight-lanes would better meet the needs of the competitive <br />swimmers. <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br /> <br />
