>>Hello Jeanne,
>Getting to be a very big balancing act,eh? My 2 cents:
> 1. If self supporting can be considered a feature, I want one of those.
The city I'm sure doesn't think like this with respect to facility use or
design or management. With proper planning I expect the facility to be a net
gain for the community ($). It may not be possible to show this on the
balance books, but I think that should be the goal.(Features under this
heading: Concessions,recreation,lessons,health care therapy?)
> 2. I would like the facility to attract users of all ages. You go to
mountain View Park on a spring evening and you see parents from all over
town as well as grand parents(some) of schoolage kids. The part of the
community missing is the college age folks. Some may feel they aren't part
of the community, but a facility that would encourage participation and
comingling of all ages would be healthy. Besides, why should they only spend
their money at the Capricorn?
> 3 Indoor/outdoor.
>You were probably thinking more along the lines of diving board, water
slide, warm pool, huh? Thanks for asking. Good job. Dan Schmidt
