DIRECTOR'S REPORT Kayo McGillivray brought the Commission up to date on the status of the department and a recap of the joint meeting with Commissions Council and citizens on Saturday September 24th, 6, OLD BUSINESS a. Approval of Bids for Kenai Gym and Recommendation to the Citv Council The three main points that were being asked for beyond the design was 1) equipment bids which includes non -basketball type of gym equipment, 2) landscaping, and 3) lounge area and electronic scoreboard. A comparison was made of the three bidders on the board and each item taken separately. The main differences seemed to lay in the construction materials and Timberline was eliminated due to no KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION Regular Meeting, October 5, 1982 Page 2 game room being shown on the sketch, and that they intended to use the existing shower facilities with some modifications. It was felt that since there would be considerably more use with the gym added, more shower space was a necessity. MOTION: Commissioner Hultburg moved, seconded by Commissioner Bailie to eliminate Timberline on the basis of showers and landscaping (not shown on drawing or in specs). VOTE: Motion passed with unanimous roll call vote. The construction materials were discussed in detail with calls placed to Mr. Grizzell and Mr. Blazy. The Commission felt that a metal building would eventually become unsightly in that dents appear on metal siding and cannot be removed, also considered was the ability of the contractor to match the existing building with as little cost as possible. The Commission discussed ways to cut costs in order to.possibly purchase the lots the gym or rec center site, thus saving the monthly cost of leasing the land. The Commission next discussed the landscaping, finding that there were far too.many "frills" in the Blazy design that would cause problems during the winter when plows must maintain the parking area and also the damage that would be done by cars hitting the concrete shown surrounding the building. Again. a call was placed to Mr. Blazy who indicated there would be no.problem in removing the "frills" and placing the walkways and paving where the City wanted it, and use of wooden materials for siding. Next was the possibility of foldout versus permanent bleachers, and eliminating 2 exits that appeared to be unnecessary.and would render the control of the building during games or activities very hard. The Commission also studied each design to see if a future racquetball expansion would fit in.. MOTION: Commissioner Bailie moved, seconded by Commissioner Hultburg to approve the Blazy Construction bid with acceptance of suggested changes as discussed by phone. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION Regular Meeting, October 5, 1982 Page 3 MOTION: Commissioner Hultburg moved to recommend to the Kenai City Council acceptance of Resolution 82-109 as amended, Seconded by Commissioner Siebert.
