6 -a. Discussion Indoor Turf Facility
Commission reviewed material included in the packet, i.e. Central Peninsula. Multi -Use
Facility Feasibility Study conducted in 2009 and a Kenai Sports Facility cost
projection. It was noted, a Kenai Facility would be significantly smaller than the one
proposed earlier by the Central Peninsula Multi -Use Facility Ad -Hoc Committee. The
cost for a building 140 x 220 was estimated at 55.11 Million.
Rick Koch, City Manager Reported a similar building was adjacent to the Subway
Center in Anchorage; discussed estimated utility costs and operation /maintenance
costs for such a facility; and, noted grants were sometimes available but further
research would need to be done as to types and opportunities.
Additional comments included:
Director Frates would contact the Subway Center for information and
would report back to the Commission.
A project such as this would be a quality of life enhancement and a
benefit to the schools and youth of the area.
