Trail Winds Recreation Center: 4,4, (218) In late-215, City Council approved a budget amendment to move forward with the design of the Trail Winds Recreation Center (TWRC). The 217-221 CIP includes construction funding in 218. The TWRC will be constructed on city-owned property inside of the Trail Winds Park and Open Space complex at 136th Avenue and Holly Street. Once completed, the TWRC will be the city s second full-service recreation center. The new recreation center will be approximately 7, square feet and include a life long learning component, indoor aquatics, gymnasium, and fitness components, among other amenities. The TWRC, based on initial estimates, will cost approximately 44,, and will be funded by the sale of Certificates of Participation. The design process began in 216, with construction anticipated in 218 and 219. Fee revenues and costs associated with the new recreation center have been built into the City s long-term financial model. Open Space Acquisition - Community Level Park: 2,5, This project includes identification and land acquisition for a future community level park in the northern portion of the City. Once the land is acquired, staff will develop a plan for the future build out of the space as a community level park. The impact on operations will come when the park is developed and open for use, as maintenance and irrigation costs will need to be included in future budgets. 257 217Budget
