Property Recommendation The committee will not recommend the City Garage area due to traffic problems and safety concerns. Mr. Miller goes through the list of possibilities knocking down old Council Chambers and rear building and putting it there would be a good location. Or the 33 acre tract on Tracy Drive. The council declined to buy the old Walmart for 3.3 million Kevin feels over 5 acre tract would be required. Mr. Barth feels that is not enough A motion to recommend 33 acre tract off Tracy Drive for the New Community Center to look at modular concept for expansion and attempting to not duplicate services, by Mr. Barth Mr. Kagan adds keep current community center as auxiliary facility for programs. Mrs. Keaton amends it to add that the City move forward with the new flooring and parking improvements at the old community center because it would be 2 years before new building built.
