09/18/2002 - Packet Monthly Report September 2002 For Skateboard Park Task Force 1. Meetings were held on (list dates during month) The third and final design meeting was conducted on September 18. 2. Current activities (summarize): 21 participants attended the 9/18 design meeting. The participants made a few minor "tweaks". The kids are very excited about the design and they look forward to the day when their dream will become a reality. Currently there are two major activities in process. One is the design process (discussed below) and the second is the site selection process (discussed below). 3. Status of long-term projects: The major long-term projects continue to be the selection of a site location for the skateboard facility and the subsequent fundraising campaign. a) SITE SELECTION The Site Selection committee continues to try to identify more potential sites in addition to the Fowler School site and the Clean Water Services site(CWS has indicated that they are not in favor of a skateboard facility at their Tigard site near THS). A community meeting will be conducted to discuss the Fowler School Site on Tigard Street. A November date is being considered for the meeting,which will hopefully be held at Fowler Middle School. I will be working closely with Susan Stark Haydon from the School District on the November meeting. b)FUNDRAISING Fundraising will be a huge challenge for the Task Force. The amount of money needed to be raised to pay for a skateboard facility ranges from approximately$390K(including contingency) and upwards. The current cost to build a skateboard facility is approximately $25 per square foot. The $25 per square foot cost does not include landscaping,parking,utilities, etc. Total costs for a 15K-sq. ft facility will, more than likely, exceed $500K. c)DESIGN The current conceptual design being considered is 15,000 square feet with a phase two project calling for 5,000 additional square feet:A phase three project calls for an additional 5,000 square feet. The facility, with phase two would cost $515K and with phase three it would cost $621K,not including auxiliary costs. We have received the renderings for the final conceptual design. We have also received the profile renderings of the Skate Park features and have forwarded them to our insurance representatives. We have heard back from the two representatives and they approved the design and profiles. For the record, I asked Engineering to provide me with a cost to build a 15K sq. ft. concrete slab which could house above ground skate park features. The cost would be approximately $55K. Skate park features for a 15K sq. ft. above ground facility would cost approximately, $1 OOK to $150K installed. 4.
