July 2002
for
Skateboard Park Task Force
1. Meetings were held on(list dates during month)
July 30, 2002—The second Skateboard Facility Conceptual Design meeting was
conducted at the Water Building. Twenty-one people attended the meeting. The input,
provided by the kids,was deemed anywhere from Great to Brilliant by the consultants.
The group reached a unanimous consensus on a final conceptual design. I plan to have
this conceptual design reviewed by the City's risk manager and our insurance agent(s).
The next, and final conceptual design meeting will be held in September after school
begins. The final product, from the third meeting, will be a final design for the skateboard
facility.
2. Current activities (summarize):
Currently there are two major activities in process. One is the design process (discussed
above) 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. The Site Selection
committee continues to study City maps to identify more potential sites in addition to the
Fowler School site and the Clean Water Services site. A community meeting will be
conducted to discuss the Fowler School Site on Tigard Street. A middle, to late August
date, is being considered for the meeting which will hopefully be held at Fowler Middle
School.
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$350K 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.
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.
