Ms. Hickman requested that the City Council consider forming a joint subcommittee to research the viability of a joint aquatic/community center facility. The City Council forwarded this request to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) for their consideration Background The City of West Linn has spent a number of years researching the feasibility of building a multi-use aquatic/community center. In 1998, West Linn voters approved a bond measure, a portion of which was to fund a swimming pool feasibility study. An aquatic study was completed in January 2000. However, it was seen as being too general in scope and as a result, was disregarded. Following this study, the West Linn City Council appointed the current aquatic/community center committee to come up with a proposal to be placed on a future ballot. The committee has hired Ken Ballard, a consultant from Colorado to perform a more detailed study. The committee's charge is to come up with a specific facility recommendation, business plan, location, and cost to be voted on in the near future. The subcommittee will hold their initial meeting with the consultant in early February. 331 Discussion Ms. Hickman made her proposal to PRAB at their January 16, 2002 meeting. In her presentation she mentioned that the West Linn subcommittee would hold their first meeting with the consultant on February 7, 2002. She saw a benefit to getting Lake Oswego involved in their first meeting, should there be an interest in forming a joint subcommittee. Although PRAB has not finalized the Parks and Recreation Master Plan or conducted a community needs assessment, the members agreed that they should take advantage of this opportunity, as there is community interest in such a facility. Therefore, they passed the following motion: "It was move and seconded to recommend to Council that PRAB form an advisory committee, as a subcommittee of PRAB, to work jointly with West Linn, or any other interested community, to explore options toward the feasibility of an aquatic/ community center." STAFF TIME & COST It is expected that the joint subcommittee will convene in early February and complete their work by the end of August, 2002. Staff estimates subcommittee support to require 50 hours of staff time at a cost of$2,500. No additional costs are anticipated at this time. Recommendation PRAB is recommending that the City Council approve the formation of a 6-member committee under the auspices of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board that will join the 6-member committee from West Linn in exploring the feasibility of a joint aquatic/community center. PRAB is also recommending that membership in the committee be made up of one PRAB member, one Team Sports Advisory Committee member (aquatics focus), a Budget Committee member and 3 community members representing broad recreational interests. PRAB, TSAC, and the Budget Committee member will be selected by PRAB. Community member positions will be chosen through an advertised application processed, with final applicants chosen by PRAB. Should the City Council approve the formation of a subcommittee, PRAB is also recommending that the PRAB and TSAC members attend that February 7, 2002 meeting with West Linn and the consultant so that time is not lost. The remaining committee members will be selected shortly afterward and become involved as soon as their selection was approved. 3 3a RESOLUTION 02-09 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE OSWEGO APPROVING THE FORMATION OF A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD TO WORK WITH A COMMITTEE FROM THE CITY OF WEST LINN TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF A JOINT AQUATIC/COMMUNITY CENTER FACILITY.
