She said she is a product <br />of Orange County. She recognized members of her work group and thanked the recreation <br />department and architects, who worked well with the group. She said everyone was able to <br />agree on a plan to present to the Board of Commissioners. She said at the last meeting the <br />group talked about bringing other programming services to the community center. She said <br />economic standards caused all of the programming to be removed from this facility, and this is <br />a lifeline for the community. She said the workgroup is interested in Option b because it would <br />allow space for programs to return to the center. She said the group wants a combination of <br />activities for their community to educate, flourish and grow. She said they also want the wings <br />to be maintained. She said she would like to see the rescue squad back at this facility. She <br />said the community will work together to help make this project happen. <br />Chair Jacobs said this item will be coming back to the Board in April, and there is <br />funding allocated in the budget. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if it is possible to find a third way that would renovate one <br />wing fully and use the other wing for storage. <br />Commissioner Gordon said if the Board is talking about services, the County has a dual <br />service model. She said the idea of expanding that model would be a different conversation. <br />Chair Jacobs said that is not what is being discussed now, but is a possible discussion <br />for the future. <br />2.
