There were no objections. 00- REPORTS OF OFFICERS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES Director of Community Services Smith explained that Staff had been requested to prepare a preliminary estimate of the cost for a building addition to the Senior Citizens' Center. He described the proposed 800 square foot addition and explained that a cost figure of $65/240 for the expansion had been obtained from data supplied by the International Conference of Building Officials. He stated that the change would have a major impact on the structural and seismic integrity of the building and given the fact that this is a City owned and publicly occupied structure, it is recommended that the services of a licensed architect be secured to design and prepare plans for any expansion work. He explained the funding sources that have been evalu- ated and either the lack of funding available or delay in time in receiving any funding. He further explained the alternatives which appear to be available for funding at this time such as: the bond issue to be on the State ballot, re-program State Park Bond Act funds, or allocating existing General Fund contin- gency monies for this project. Councilman Izell stated that the 800 square feet is for the overflow of people at the center. It is needed now for a game room, lounge and other uses. He felt that it could be built for about $32,000 and not the $65,000 that has been quoted. Councilman Izell made a motion to add the 800 square foot addition to the Senior Citizens' Center with the plans for the addition to be done In-house and the funding for the project to be figured out by Staff. Mayor King stated that he would second this motion for the sake of discussion. Council discussed the problems that are facing the seniors in the present building and agreed that there is crowded conditions and parking problems. They expressed their concern that this is not the time and may not be the best solution to the problem. They spoke about the Community Center that is planned and the possi- bility of using that facility when it is finished. They realized that the completion of the Community building was a longer wait, but they were hopeful that something that the seniors could be proud of could be provided for them.
