Informal Resident Advisory Work Group Cedar Grove Community Center August 27, 2013 Page 6of7 37 Large Group Meeting Room can hold 94 people and when the movable wall is opened up to include the Small group Meeting Room this adds another 32 people and if the Classroom is also opened up then another up to 57 people are added to the space seated at tables and chairs. • After some discussion the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group stated that they would like to see the Classroom space relabeled as the Recreation Room. • There was some discussion as to what exactly would be occurring in the recreation room and it was stated that this space could be equipment for the following activities • Darts • Pool Table • Table Tennis • Foosball Table • Table for card and board games • The members of the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group unanimously preferred the reconfiguration of the existing cafeteria in Option "Al" due to the potential for greater flexibility. • Several members of the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group stated that they would like to see the Multi -Media space located near the Internet Cafe so all of the "quiet" activities where located together. It was suggested that this space be located in the former library space. • It was suggested by the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group that the Gymatorium be relabeled as a Multi- purpose Room as this space, with the existing roof remaining, would not be ideal for adult basketball. It was suggested an athletic floor system be incorporated to allow a variety of activities to occur within the space. • There was discussion about the need for the Kitchen to open directly into the Gym, but it was noted that as this was not a full kitchen and that if an event was held in the gym the food could be catered and served at end of the space as had occurred in the past. • In previous meetings a desire for a pass thru "concessions" window from the Kitchen to the exterior was discussed. The Informal Resident Advisory Work Group discussed this concept and determined it was not required. • There was some discussion about storage especially for tables and chairs and it was stated that there did not seem to be enough space shown for this. The architects stated that they would review this before the next meeting. • The members of the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group asked who would be managing the facility and the county representatives stated that at the moment it was presumed that it would be the Parks and Recreation Department. • The Informal Resident Advisory Work Group discussed the merits of each option. ■ Option E • The members of the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group asked if it would be possible to present the Board of Commissioners a plan based on Option "Al" with the smaller existing Multi- Purpose room and then also Option "E" with the full size Gym. Commissioner Price stated she did not think that this idea would be approved by the Commissioners as it outside the scope of the original project. • There was discussion among members of the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group about the importance of the full size gym and whether or not other factors such as improved wireless access and the internet cafe were more critical. • After much discussion, members of the Informal Resident Advisory Work Group voted and by a split vote decided not to proceed with Option "E" due to the budget concern.
