The first is a replacement movable <br /> 4 partition at the Passmore Center gymnasium —the partition between two usable spaces has deteriorated <br /> 5 to the point that staff cannot operate it themselves, requiring Asset Management Services assistance. <br /> 6 Travis Myren noted the partition could be used as frequently as weekly to allow two simultaneous <br /> 7 programs in the space, but that difficulty in using it has reduced that frequency significantly. <br /> 8 Commissioner McKee expressed concern about the cost, asking what it costs in AMS staff time to <br /> 9 open and close the partition, suggesting those ongoing costs might be weighed against the capital <br /> 10 investment. <br /> 11 Travis Myren acknowledged that AMS staff resources are primarily dedicated to cleaning and <br /> 12 repair functions rather than event operations. <br /> 13 Commissioner McKee questioned why regular staff could not perform the task. <br /> 14 Travis Myren responded that those staff have other duties. <br /> 15 Commissioner Carter noted that no rental revenue is foregone, as the space is not rented out. <br /> 16 Commissioner Bedford framed the benefit in terms of service capacity — enabling two senior <br /> 17 programs simultaneously rather than one. <br /> 18 Vice-Chair Fowler said she assumes from this proposal that the current partition is not reparable. <br /> 19 Travis Myren said that's right. <br /> 20 Chair Hamilton agreed the cost is high and suggested looking into alternative options to achieve <br /> 21 the desired outcome. <br /> 22 Regarding the project for Fleet Services, Commissioner Bedford asked where it is located. <br /> 23 Travis Myren said the motor pool offices. <br /> 24 Commissioner McKee asked why staff couldn't continue without private offices. <br /> 25 Travis Myren said this would certainly be an improvement to the space because managers and <br /> 26 supervisors are not currently able to talk to staff privately. <br /> 27 Commissioner Bedford said it is worth the money to provide private office spaces. <br /> 28 Commissioner Carter advocated for private office space for Fleet Services but agreed with the <br /> 29 discussion about the partition at the Passmore Center. <br /> 30 Slide#15 <br />
