PRESENT: ABSENT: Counci1members Chandler, Gilb, Lojeski, Young and Harbicht None Mr. Tony Anthony of Anthony arid Langford, Architects for the proposed Senior Citizen Center/Recreation Department facility presented the working drawings and floor plans for the project. The traffic flow of the site was explained in detail, with onsite parking for approxi- mately 200 automobiles. The architect pointed out the various rooms on the floor plan and explained their usage with additional information also offered; the kitchen will be large enough to serve as a prepara- tion kitchen if cooking on the premises on a regular basis is desired; initially a catering kitchen will be in service with additional 'equip- ment to be purchased at a later date for a full service type kitchen. The dining/multi-purpose room at the center of the Senior Citizens' building to be 5,597 square feet with a seating capacity of 350 fOL dining, or seating of 750 for assembly purposes in an auditorium configuration. By use of partitions this larger room can be divided into five various size meeting rooms with a permanent stage in one of the five. A portable folding platform is proposed to serve as a stage for the other meeting rooms when the partitions are in place. A track lighting systemwil1be installed around the perimeters of the large meeting room for stage lighting in all areas. The possibility of coordinating the height of the portable platform with the permanent stage to create one large stage was considered. The architect suggest- ed that'platforms could be rented if the need should arise for more than one portable platform for concurrent activities. The need for two screens for audio-visual presentations was requested by Council; screens electrically controlled were deemed most feasible. The architect added that electrical outlets will be placed in all perma- nent walls of the larger meeting area. The flooring in this area will be a combination of carpeting and hard surface such as parquet flooring. Mr. Langford explained the use of glass, skylights, indirect light- ing concealed in beam members and high clerestory lights to create an open light airy daylighted environment. In response to a question from Council, Mr. Langford explained the use of cement tile as roof- ing material; other materials to be used such as bronze glass, anodized aluminum metal frames, metal outside doors, oversize brick, exterior fascia panels all blending in a similar dark color. The brick work will be grouted and reinforced with steel. In reference to the darkening of the meeting rooms during daylight hours for movies and such, Mr. Langford noted that low transmission glass will be used on the outside windows. If this does not suffi- ciently darken the assembly room, vertical blinds can be added at a later date. With the large expanse of glass across the back of the building facing the golf course, the possibility was raised of damage from stray balls from the adjoining course. The museum building has been experiencing this problem. It was noted that the museum is right behind the green. 4/4/89 -1- MOTION TENT.MAP 47234 (Regular Agenda) Res. 5472 ,/ (April Earth- quake Prepared- ness Month) / and Res. 5473 (S.G.Valley Juvenile Div.

SAMPLE CLOSED SESSION ADJOURNMENT 31:0060 The architect stated that the Senior Citizen building should be safe where it is positioned; the plate glass is 1/4-inch thick but it could be tempered and made strong ... although tnat would be costly. The total square footage of the project including the Recreation Department offices will be 20.981 square feet, with construction to Commence in October 1989 and the completion date targeted for December 1990. The City Manager noted that there are some items not included in the I cost estimate such as the telephone system, cash register. Xerox machine, piano, etcetera, since these types of items will be purchased later 'as part of a capital program rather than part of the project. The grand total for the project, including the furnishings, fixtures and equipment stands at $4,024,000. It is hoped that certain factors when applied may bring the project in under that figure such as the 7% contingency of $220,000 which may not be expended. The City Manager set forth two requests of Council and the following action was taken: It was MOVED by Counci1member Young, seconded by Councilmember Gilb and CARRIED that staff be AUTHORIZED to proceed with the project as planned; and AUTHORIZE staff to place on the April 18, 1989 agenda, for Council's consideration, an agreement with Anthony and Langford for consulting services in providing the furnishings for the facility.
