Discussion
A. NDC (National Development Council) RFP (Request for Proposal)
Relative to the Community Center; Details and Schedule
Community Services Manager Hursh reported that he and Planning
Director Snyder met with the NDC at their offices shortly after the last
Community Center meeting held February 9, 2012. The meeting charts
the road as an initial engagement of NDC as a professional services
contractor helping with what is a financial and project feasibility, which is
nearing completion. It is now in Legal for review. NDC is going to review
for us how we can get this project done including, but not limited to,
existing City funds and potential funds from alternative sources. That
portion of their work should be completed within 30 – 60 days for the initial
performance phase of the contract. They will present an initial report to
the Committee within 30 – 60 days which will determine moving forward
with the RFP. Consulting cost is $25,000.

B. VA (Veteran’s Administration) Potential Participation in the Community
Center Project as a Result of the Visit to Washington, DC by Mayor
Lewis and Michael Hursh Last Month
Mayor Lewis attended the US Conference of Mayors and while there, he
and Community Services Manager Hursh met with the Under Secretary of
the VA, John Garcia. It was determined there is some funding available
and it was suggested by the Under Secretary that he return for the Annual
National meeting of all the VA Directors and talk with him and State
Director John Lee. The Mayor is planning to return to the National League
of Cities along with the new Council members in March and plans on
meeting with the Under Secretary and State Director.
C. King County Library Expansion Update, Including Parking Lot
Vehicle Traffic Flow Coordination with Other LGCC Traffic Flows,
Especially the Community Center
Chair Wagner discussed the library expansion and how it may affect our
traffic flow and parking situation that is currently designed for the
Community and Activity Centers. He asked if a separate study should be
conducted to examine the parking and traffic flow and look at the capacity
one more time. Also, to revisit how we came up with the capacity in the
traffice study that was done. The traffic flow internal to the campus was not
specifically addressed in that study. The Committee suggested that a
Traffic Engineer or the City’s Traffic Engineer, take another look at it and
come back to the group with their findings. Also look at potential and
fullest use of all the Campus development including the One Stop Center.
Vice Chair Wales requested a special review of Deals Way, the street that
goes through the campus. The concern is an internal campus traffic plan.
The Mayor recommended the Committee meet within the next 30 days
which will be at the next scheduled meeting of April 9, 2012. The March
12th meeting was cancelled.
D. Watercolor Rendering of the Community Center for Use As A
Marketing Tool
Members received a copy of a watercolor rendering of the Community
Center as a marketing tool. For use in public communications about the
project, is it worth $2500 to have a watercolor picture created showing the
more dramatic side of the building as it is seen from the park side? Due to
the cost of a watercolor rendering, the Committee agreed they will not do
anything beyond the computer generated picture.

E. Review Grant Applications to the State Legislature for Potential
Bonding Bills Being Considered in the Senate and the House of
Representatives
Director Faber submitted grant applications to the State Legislature
requesting funds to develop an approximate 20,100 sq. ft. community center
building to be used for educational, cultural and social activities as well as
large non-programmed community meeting spaces.
The project is being lobbied and in strong contention.
F. RFP for Summer Concessions at Les Gove Park
The City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Department is seeking a
seasonal contractor to provide food and beverage services to the public
through a Concession Trailer or Food Truck. Director Faber suggested
upgrading the field house building and making it into a better restroom and
concession kind of building. The existing restrooms are in decent condition
but still not sufficient for all the new improvements occuring at the Campus.
Chair Wagner he feels it may be a worthwhile architectural exercise to get a
gross cost estimate. Chair Wagner asked Director Faber to approach the
Mayor to get his thoughts on making this happen and report back at the
April 9th meeting on a Restroom and Concession Cost Feasibility Gross
Estimate.
II. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:30 P.M.
