August 23 , 2023 Special Working Meeting of the Board of Supervisors
Regarding the Larkin Property -
Attached is the agenda and a copy of the hand outs provided by Architectural Partners, who made a presentation, facilitated the discussion. Lynn Fontana attended the meeting and the summary is from her note. Here are highlights:
· There was discussion of the pros and cons of the Plan D and E, as laid out on the attached.
· Plan D is clearly more expensive and would take longer to realize
· Plan E might also be easier to manage because it's more concentrated.
· Skip Barton asked that the pool be a high priority. Others discussed the need for additional sports given the increase in participation in sports like soccer.
· The BOS members want to find a way for the county citizens to realize the benefits of the facility sooner rather than later.
· Since this project will be done in phases and the first phase must include roads no matter what else is done, the BOS charged Architectural Partners to start with Plan E and
Break out the cost of the roads from the cost to the picnic areas.
Propose one or two phasing options that would keep the initial cost within the counties debt limit of approximately $15 million
Return when those option are available for a follow up discussion.
