Administrative Recommendation: Les Gove Community Campus Committee to recommend to full City
Council the adoption of Resolution No. 5091
Background Summary:
Subsequent to the City Council's decision in March 2014 to not proceed forward with construction bidding
for the Les Gove Community Center, City Administration and key Department staff met several times to
review potential other options. The outcome of these meetings was a proposed Youth /Teen Center and
Community Center option. This option would consist of remodeling the existing Parks, Arts and
Recreation offices into a Youth /Teen Center and developing an adjacent two -story Community Center.
Staff believes that this approach could be conducted within the $9 million maximum budget identified by
the City Council through pragmatic decision - making on design features and materials and economies of
scale by colocation of services, functions and assets.
On June 18, 2014 Mayor Backus sent an email to the City Council indicating her and Deputy Mayor
Wagner's support for this proposal and asking for direct feedback to her on the proposal.
Staff recommends that the Committee take positive action to recommend the adoption of Resolution No.
5091 to the full City Council.
Staff will be providing a briefing to the entire City Council during a previously noticed special presentation
prior to the City Council's regular meeting and consideration of Resolution No. 5091.
