ITEM 2. PARKS, RECREATION, AND TOURISM: Riverview Park Gym
Additions— Council Update
Director of Parks, Recreation, & Tourism, Rick Meyer, along with representatives
from Studio 3 design group and R. W. Allen, presented Mayor and Council with
an update on the Riverview Park Gym Additions. The update included options
for the proposed 2 new gymnasiums and the costs of the options.
After the update, it was the general consensus of Mayor and Council, that using
Sales Tax III funding to cover the total cost of the gym additions would be a
possible avenue for funding the project. This will require reprioritization of
funding to the existing list of approved projects in order to move forward. At this
time, this has not taken place.
