Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Don Temeyer, Community Planning and Development Director, reported that staff is
working on an agreement with US Bank to acquire property adjacent to the Center
For The Arts for the Youth Pavilion.
Councilperson Clark asked what other costs will be incurred with this project as
this contract is only for the cost of the building. Mike Broshar, with InVision
Architecture, reported there is a $165,000 budget for furnishings and equipment,
with a total budget just under $5 million. Mr. Broshar stated there are other
funding sources other than the city and the campaign, with the campaign at $4
million. Councilperson Clark asked if that includes funding for operations.
Cammie Scully, Director of Cultural & Arts, responded they are in the processing
of raising funds, have collected $150,000 and have budgeted $500,000.
Councilperson Clark stated he is concerned with budgeting for staff after the
building is constructed. Councilperson Clark stated that from his point of view
during the budget process staffing for the pavilion will be down the line. Ms.
Scully reported that they are putting together a marking and business source,
but she cannot say they won't ask for additional funding. Mayor Hurley stated
that there has always been a question mark concerning funding of the operation
costs for the pavilion, and that will be a policy decision at that time.
