HomeMy WebLinkAboutCommunity Center - Minutes (2)City of Kenai COMMUNITY CENTER COMMITTEE MINUTaa September 24, 1984 7:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by Ron Malston. Present were Louisa Miller, Jim Carter, Carmen Gintoli, Bill Brighton, Sa11y Bailie, Connie Keevil, Tom Wagoner, Bill Kluge, Bob Wolf and Barbara Epperson. Carmen presented a proposed overall site plan for the area including and surrounding the community center site. The plan is designed to get the city thinking, he said, and is not final. Committee members reviewed the plan; discussion followed. Committee members discussed moving the center site outside of the FAA fencing. The move will allow center construction to begin whether or not the FAA removes the fencing in the near future. The views, setback and expandability of the center will be maintained if the move is made, Carmen said. Plans to encourage the FAA to remove the fencing as soon as possible were reviewed. Carmen noted that the center plans would be presented to the city's planning commission during its meeting of September 26, 1984. Committee members were requested to attend the meeting. Requests for use of the center are already being received, Carmen announced. The results of a meeting with food consultants were presented. The consensus was to provide a warming kitchen, not a full kitchen. Minimum amenities will be provided at an estimated cost of $40,000. Exterior wall samples were presented by Bill, Bob, and Carmen. Members approved the use of Dryvit insulated panels. A neutral gray/cream color ("Vandyck") was chosen for the exterior with an accent band of "Brandywine". Interior floor treatments were discussed. Barbara recommended two colors in the great hall to break up the size of the room and one color in the hallways to provide continuity. Committee members decided to use a Pedigrid flooring in the areas immediately inside building entrances; Heuga carpeting was chosen for the remaining interior areas. The carpeting colors will continue the exterior color theme, Barbara said. Sally said she called Ray Pittman, manager of the Valdez community center, to determine whether a portable or permanent dance floor is recommended. Mr. Pittman said the portable dance floor is extrememly flexible and has proven easy to work with, Sally reported. Furniture orders were discussed. It was suggested the orders wait until it's determined whether the additive storage area will be built. Funding for the community center will be discussed with Lt. Gov. Steve P1cAlpine during his meeting with the city on October 19, Sally said. Committee members requested that Carmen present the community center plans at the next city council meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. L~' ~e~~;~ Connie Keevil
