Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with RW Setterlin Building Company for the renovation and addition to the existing Driving Park Community Center. These improvements will update the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems as well as upgrading the existing classrooms and multipurpose room. Furthermore, there will be an addition that will house a new dance studio, new gymnasium, fitness center, classroom, game room, welcoming lobby and offices that will enhance the community’s use of this facility. The current facility has 9,500 square feet and will be expanded to 24,000 square feet. The facility will also be the new home of the relocated Fairwood Pool, which will be 8,500 square feet and include a zero entry access, tot area, water slides, a six lane competition pool, and a dive well.
Emergency Justification:
