For over 20 years various committees have been exploring the feasibility of designing, building and maintaining a Community Center that would both bring the diverse community together as well as create revenues to assist in offsetting the cost of operations in an effort to meet the needs of our changing population. The Community Center Business Operation Plan lays out an action plan to which goals are identified and matched with specified resources. DI.C Page 12 of 30 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Description The City of Auburn is without a dedicated gathering space for a population of over 73,000 people. According to the 2005 Auburn Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, the City of Auburn should have one Community Center available per 40,000 people and is deficient in this type of facility. The new Community Center will serve the entire community and be open year-round. It would be used for various health and wellness programs; multi-generational and multi-cultural events; special events; family programs; art, craft and music; community education and specialty classes; expanded youth and pre- school programs; meetings and corporate events; and wedding receptions. The Auburn Community Center will be approximately 21,752 sf. of net usable space. The facility will feature a spacious and welcoming lobby and a large community gathering space for up to 450 persons. It will feature a large patio area opening up to the park. The facility will also provide space for the Parks, Arts & Recreation administrative offices. In addition the City would partner with various non-profits such as Veterans Services to provide programmable meeting space to meet the communities needs. Community Center will: • Contribute to community pride and foster a sense of community – create a community gathering place for neighbors, family and friends • Offer a broad range of activities promoting social interaction, especially with new residents of Auburn • Provide a facility that is financially feasible, affordable for participants, and can generate revenue to offset a portion of operating costs · Create a sense of belonging and respect for all the people in the Auburn community, including, for example, people with different incomes, ages, and ethnic backgrounds. The Fourth of July Festival, that draws thousands of people the Les Gove Community Campus, where they mingle and get to know and respect each other, is an example of the type of gathering that will be much more possible with the Community Center as a focal point. · Bring a sense of vitality and spontaneity by having staff located at the Community Center. People registering for activities will notice the possibilities for their use of the facility. Staff will be constantly exposed to the Community Center so they will come up with activities to keep at the facility busy which will reduce the net cost of operations. On-site staff will be able to manage the Community Center as well as perform their other duties, reducing the cost of operations. · BE THE CENTRAL GATHERING POINT IN AUBURN DI.C Page 13 of 30 4 HISTORY The need for a Community Center in the City of Auburn has been studied for over 30 years. Various concepts of what should be built have been modified over the years due to the construction of other facilities. In 1989, the City of Auburn conducted a bond issue to construct a community center. That issue received a 58% favorable vote but failed to gain the 60% super majority needed to pass the bond issue. Subsequent to the vote, the city refurbished the former Auburn Library into the new Auburn Senior Activity Center and the King County Library System built a new Auburn Library at the Les Gove Campus. In 2001, a citizen committee (chaired by Councilperson Lynn Norman and Gary Masterjohn) again discussed the need for a community center. The outcome of that citizen committee included three conclusions: Auburn lacks adequate community facilities to serve current and future needs; there is significant community need, interest and support for exploring the development of a community center; and there exists strong citizen support for using public funds to build a community center. In 2001, the City of Auburn partnered with the YMCA to assist in meeting the health and fitness needs of the community and a new Auburn YMCA was built. In 2004 as part of the City of Auburn visioning process a new Task Force was formed, facilitated by ARC Architects to focus on community needs. Again the lack of a “large gathering place” and activities for teens were the prime unmet need voiced by the citizen group. In 2005, a citizen survey of 400 homes was conducted by Leisure Vision. Construction of a Community Center as well as improvements to neighborhood parks were the two highest ranked priorities from the survey. Based on years of studies, the designs of the facility and key components to be included were developed by the City of Auburn and the firm of BLRB was hired to provide design services for a new Community Center. Tours of numerous community centers have occurred and the best features of each have been recommended for this project. In 2009, the Community Center, designed by BLRB Architects, was put out to bid. Bids were opened and it was determined that due to the Great Recession as well as the economic situation of the region the project would be postponed. DI.C Page 14 of 30 5 Les Gove Park and Community Campus – Uniting a Diverse Population The Les Gove Community Campus is located in the area between 9th Street SE and 12th Street SE in Auburn, WA. It is a central gathering point in the community. At nearly 21 acres, Les Gove Park is a recreational and educational campus serving the entire community. The cluster of amenities in this campus includes the King County library, Parks and Recreation Administration Building, Senior Activity Center and White River Valley Museum. The campus also includes the popular Rotary Spray Park, Discovery Playground, public art, bocce courts, and two softball fields. A half-mile paved trail encircles an attractive bermed and treed area. The City of Auburn offers a diverse population of 73,000 residents. The Les Gove neighborhood is an area with a diversity of land uses and a diversity of people. The area adjacent to the Community Center includes single-family neighborhoods, multi-family areas, and a retail (commercial) area. Population Demographic Diversity (2010 Census) 1952: 7,000 13% Hispanic/Latino 1982: 28,000 66% White (77% in 2000) 2012: 73,000 10% Asian/Pacific Islander 2040: 100,000 5% Black/African American 3% Native American 3% Other DI.C Page 15 of 30 6 DI.C Page 16 of 30 7 Auburn Community and Event Center Preliminary Program Models · Community/Multi-purpose Room A large 3-bay community room (multi-purpose space) designed to accommodate events for approximately 450 people (banquet seating) 550 (theater seating) will address some of the need for meeting and banquet space in Auburn. Space will feature modern technology for training and workshops intended for Community, Veteran and Human Service advancement in the community. Physical support spaces include storage as well as a catering kitchen which is sized relative to the meeting room space. It will also be used for recreation/enrichment classes. · Classrooms 2 multi-use and program specific classrooms are included in the facility design based on existing programs, anticipated programming space needs. Classrooms will accommodate lecture space for up to 30 participants, recreation, education and enrichment classes, martial arts, birthday parties, senior classes, and also will be available for rental. Examples of classroom activities include: Aerobics, Pilates, Yoga; Tai Chi and Karate; Dance and Movement classes; Art and Music; Community Education/Specialty Classes; Parent/Child (Baby) classes and community rental opportunities. · Facility Rentals for Large Gathering Area & Classrooms: · Community events, gatherings, debates, and other special meetings · Parties and special celebrations · Service club events and programs · Wedding Receptions · Conferences · Meetings and corporate events · Trade Shows · Special Events · Other Rentals · Programming for Large Gathering Area & Classrooms · Expanded pre-school programs: Arts, Dance, Tumbling, Crafts · Computer Training · Art & Craft classes: Watercolor, Painting, Pottery, Specialized crafts · Community Education Classes § real estate, foreign language, sales skills, financial planning, etc. · Enrichment Classes: Cooking, fitness, art, music, dance, etc. · Options for homeschooled youth: physical education, art, music, band, etc. · Programs and events for families with a focus on multi-generational activities · Cultural Programming for Large Gathering Area & Classrooms · Through a joint effort between Community Services and Parks, Arts & Recreation, coordinate cultural meetings and events · Providing cart storage space for cultural groups and service groups who use the facility as an on-going meeting space. · Increase recreation and enrichment programs to increase service to culturally diverse population. · Lobby/Lounge Area The lobby/lounge area will serve all populations for social gathering, informal activities, waiting for transportation as well as registering for seminars, training, activities and rentals. · Friendship/Storage Area The Friendship area will be set-up to allow for outside organizations to set-up and develop their events/activities in a dedicated/secure classroom/storage area with cart storage space. · Office Space The majority of the Recreation and Arts staff currently located at the Parks and Recreation Administration Building will operate out of the new Community Center. This will allow for the development of a renovated Teen Center in the existing Administration Building. In addition office space may be available for internal and external Community and Human Service organizations.

A. The Director may waive or reduce an entry, use or program fee for an organization, association, group of individuals, or an individual, and authorize the supervisor of a facility to do so, irrespective of any special promotion or event whenever: 1. Such a waiver vindicates a constitutional right guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution through its Fourteenth Amendment or Article I, Section 3 of the Washington Constitution; 2. The user provides services or assistance to the Department in lieu of the fee that would otherwise apply, or provides in-kind services or leaves improvements to the facility that offset the reduced fee revenue; 3. The user is poor or infirm or is a charitable organization assisting the poor or infirm, and charging the fee would have the effect of depriving the user or its clients of reasonable access to the facility or of opportunity to participate in a public event, and would cause hardship or directly reduce the assistance such organization provides to the poor or infirm; 4. The user is an organization serving the public or the community, lacks its own facility as a result of a calamity or other temporary distress, and the temporary use of the City’s facility would allow the organization to continue providing service to the public or community. Such temporary use shall not exceed 90 days without further authorization from the City Council; 5. Another government requests use of the facility for a public purpose; or the use is granted under a reciprocal use of facilities agreement with another municipal government; 6. Free admission to the facility furthers a departmental purpose, e.g., the person is a volunteer for a department-sponsored or co-sponsored event, participates in an athletic event for public spectators, or enters in connection with a work assignment or to assist a concessionaire or as a parent or guardian to assist the Department in the instruction or care of a minor or ward or; B. In determining whether a fee should be waived or reduced, the Director shall be guided by the benefit to the public and the Department when granting the request, the frequency and amount of usage requested, the effect on and fairness to other users, its consistency with policies underlying the fee schedule and this chapter, and the consequences of denying the request..
