<DIV>
Coalition of Neighborhood Association</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Colleen Frenz presented an update of progress/planning for the Domingo Baca
Park. Focus was on the plans for the Multi-generational Center.
Planning and design are based on the input from community meetings and phone
surveys to determine desired priority. The plans are anticipated to go
before the EPC in October. The project will be undertaken in 2 phases.
Upper and lower level parking is planned off Wyoming and Carmel. Main
structure will have a roof running track and also in the Gym. Extensive
planting will aid in cleaning the air. walkways are concrete but drain
into permeable surfaces for water harvesting. Intent is to make a
"Gold standard" facility. Geothermal heating and cooling with evaporative coils
are planned. Playground will be on the Westside. Fitness center is in
phase 1, Yoga is in phase 2. Climbing wall, Social Hall, phase 1. Meeting
rooms and Social hall can accommodate 50-100 and several hundred
respectively. Movable glass walls provide for indoor/outdoor use for
barbeque, social gatherings etc. Translucent walls in the gym allow
for in/out visibility. </DIV>
<DIV>Main building faces North. Max height is 40 ft. Phase 1
will cost $7.7 million, total build out will be $20 million, scheduled for
Summer 2009-Fall 2010.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Brad Winter reported that Gordon Rowe had resigned from the APS School
Board, Linda DuMoulin has been approved for the Arts Board from D4, and Paul
Grunwald has been nominated for the Ethics Board. Our state Legislators
are favorable to combining budget requests in support of Domingo Baca Park at
the next Legislative Session. The Council has approved extension of the
1/4 cent transportation tax with the major portion of the
money dedicated to road work rather than streetcars.</DIV>

review the Neighborhood/Homeowner Ordinance with the suggestion that Coalition
Presidents be appointed to serve.</DIV>
