4.6. SR 07-23-2001R3ver MEMORANDUM Item 4.6. TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Lori Johnson, Finance Director DATE: July 23,2001 SUBJECT: Discussion of Sites for Family Center/Charlie Blesener At the April 30, 2001, joint meeting with the School Board, the school district's family/art center proposal was discussed. Charlie Blesener has requested an opportunity to further discuss this proposal with the Council and will be present at Monday's meeting to initiate discussion on sites and what city activities or spaces could be included in the facility. Attached is a memo from Mr. Blesener that includes a request for city assistance in securing a site for the facility; the memo does not state how much property is needed. As you know, both the YMCA and Minnesota Sports Federation have also requested property from the city for their facilities. The second item of discussion on Monday is the types of space and uses that could be included in the family/art center. The memo mentions public meeting rooms and senior center space. The Council has briefly discussed including large meeting room space in either the YMCA or an expanded city hall if this need is not met by the private sector. However, the Council has not recently discussed other space needs like senior center space. Finally, this will be mainly an informational presentation. No action is required on this item as it is still early in the development process. Also, the Council may find it difficult to prioritize and commit its finite resources at this point and may want additional time to consider this request since it is currently considering several other project proposals (YMCA and city hall expansion) that are also in the early development stages. 728 !

UllityEduc tion ,~*~ ~230 NW School Street Elk River, Minnesota · 5~330-2506 * [612) 241-3520 18 July 2001 To: Mayor Klinzing & City Council Members RFrom. :.Charl!e Blesener, Administrator of Communi~"ducation e: ~nrormation on examples of jointly planned facilities Enclosed with this memo is information on a few facility projects that have been completed in Minnesota in the past few years which are examples of cooperative ventures between school districts, municipalities and/or municipal HRA's, and in some cases, additional partners. Some of this information may have previously been shared with the council at one of the joint meetings with the school board, but I wanted to be sure you had it in advance of your July 23, 2001 meeting. As a follow-up to the joint City Council/School Board meeting of April 30, 2001, I will be in attendance at your meeting on July 23. My intention is to update the council on the planned Family/Art Center, including preliminary concepts about the facility itself, what programs are expected to be housed there, community spaces in the facility, how the arts component will be incorporated, funding mechanisms and the approximate timeline for the facility. In addition, I will invite the City of Elk River to consider the planned Family/Ad Center as a viable building to also accommodate future municipal needs such as large meeting spaces, space for senior programming, etc. Finally I will also ask the City of Elk River to assist us in securing a suitable site in Elk River for the facility. I look forward to beginning a dialogue with you on the 23rd that I hope will result in a quality community facility in Elk River.

This cooperative venture was made possible due to the high level of mast and interdependence displayed by both the district and the city. The school district is financing its portion of the project, $6.8 re;ilion, with a portion of the proceeds of a $46.5 million referendum. The city is investing $2.5 m~lllon in tax increment proceeds from Pillsbury Bakeries and Food Service into its recreation center. The 90,000 sq. ft. school and 23,000 sq. ft. recreation center stand connected as one with separate parking lots and entrances serving both components. Each party owns 20 acres of property; however, the line separating the two is more of a formality than a necessity. As it tums out, the city's recreation center is located on school property. In addition to the m~i,~ bui]aing, the site will contain a multi-purpose park shelter, five ball fields, two Lighted hockey rinks, four Lighted tennis courts, a playground, landscaped cour~ards, outdoor classrooms, and an access boulevard; all linked by a trail and sidewalk system. The new school and recreation center are being built in response to a growing population within the district and city. Both facilities will be fLlled to capacity upon opening. The new elementary school has a design capacity and core facilities for 650 students. Individual classrooms are grouped into "family clusters" to promote the education concept of multi-age learning groups (students within a two to three year age difference) and the "school within a school." Lifelong learning and leisure will be the norm here and the building is accessible to the community and parents. Hammel Green and Abrahamson provided the architectural and associated professional se, vices fer the building and BorSon is the general contractor. Independent School District 112 and the City of Chanhassen are extremely excited about the opportunities th/s new facility will offer the community.

Presentation to Elk River City Council 23 July 2001 Purpose: 1. Provide council with latest info. on proposed Family/Arts Center. 2. Invite City of Elk River to participate in "upgrading" the planned facility, or placing municipal needs/programs in the planned facility--co-partner in the planning of the facility. 3. Seek City assistance in securing a suitable Elk River site for the facility. 4. Beginning of an on-going dialog regarding this issue. Update on the Family/Arts Center: -History & financial background: -$500,000 Early Childhood facilities grant from CFL (Governor's bonding bill). 34,000 s.f. approximate cost (2002 construction) of $5M. Excluding land. -District 728 responsible for above construction costs--anticipate fall 2002 bond issue. -School Board approved partnership with 2001 Arts Alliance (and vice versa!). Arts Alliance would co-fund "commons" space as well as arts education spaces (approx. 10,000 s.f.) at an approximate cost of $1.5M. -What is proposed to be in the facility? -A variety of early childhood programs (ECFE, ECSE, Early childhood screening, Head Start, WIC, Crisis nursery) rooms and staff areas. -Community education offices (including Adult Basic Education, child care for ABE, computer lab for community and adult use) -Community meeting spaces, including a large "commons" space -Supervised visitation space for County Social Services -Educational and exhibit space for the arts, and some performance space. -Preliminary design considerations: -Energy efficient facility to minimize operational costs. -Aesthetically appealing--a destination in and of itself. -Two-story construction as much as possible to minimize the "footprint" of the facility and land requirements. -No architect engaged at this point; we want to involve all potential partners before going much further. -Very natural partnership between the arts community and Community Education (lifelong learning for all ages) as well as an excellent opportunity for intergenerational learning and interaction under the same roof--pre-school through adulthood, with the arts an integral part of the building environment. -Savings for taxpayers. -Municipal input into the facility planning process. A site: Current site problems at CE Center. Publicly reported discussions of City sites offered to the YMCA. -water tower site -40 acre industrial park east of 169 -other city owned property?
