Community Center Town Meeting Minutes
Meadow Lake School
Commission members present; Roger Landy,
Roger Rubin, Penny Stillman
Town meeting was called to order by Chairman Roger Landy at
7:05 P.M. 6 residents were in attendance. Landy explained the
citizen advisory's role in the community center process. He then
gave a brief overview and history of the Commission's activities on
the center project to date. The meeting was then open to citizen
comments.
The two residents who live on Zealand Avenue expressed their
displeasure of locating the center across the street from their
homes. If the center is to be built, they would prefer to locate it
at the ball fields and relocate the ball fields.
Discussion then centered around the uses of the community
center. If the City needs meeting space for seniors, can they not
look to sharing facilities with the closed schools now being leased
by the Osseo School District or even sharing with the churches?
Residents then asked can the center be built at Northridge?
We could not answer this and will refer to City staff.
Mr. Devine spoke and said he utilizes the Robbinsdale Community
Center and they appear under utilized and asked if we could not
share their facility.
Mr. Weninger spoke about spending all this money on a center
and then having very little open gym time.
All residents made it clear, let the community decide on the
need for a center not the Commission or City Council and put it to a
vote by New Hope citizens.
The commission took a straw vote with 6 residents opposed and
none in favor of building a community center.
Ms. Reed was not totally opposed but if it is to be built, do
not spend in excess of the tax increment funds now in place.

Citizen Advisory's role in the Community Center process. He then
gave a brief overview and history of the Commission's activities on

comments.
Mr. Rodriguez asked about how large the center would be. He
then inquired as to the operating costs and building costs. After
answering, the Commission commented on how these costs would impact
on the property taxes of the residents.
Both residents have mixed feelings as to building the center.
They favor a centralized, organized facility for our seniors and
young people, but oppose to raising taxes to building the complex.
They would be in favor if it would bring positive results,i.e. more
jobs and opportunity for the community.
The residents and the Commission both expressed their
frustration on the low turnout to date. Mr. Rodriguez said, he
would personally spread the word about our upcoming sessions.
Meeting was adjorned at 7:40 p.m.

All residents expressed dismay at the low turnouts to date.
Mr. Weninger said he walked his block (Zealand Ave) this evening to
gather input. Most neighbors knew nothing of the center nor of our
town meetings. However, he explained all of his neighbors are
against the center.
Mr. and Mrs. Hassinger thought there are many alternatives to
meeting space for seniors. She mentioned the programs for seniors
at this church. All agrQed there is a shortage of gym space.
tis. Hassinger Ss ftom Staples, MN. They built a community
conter there. It has bzzn a hangout for teens, children are not

promiooa have not been kept.
Por. Weninger mentioned, can we downsize the cosmnunity center to
only gym space. Our response was it is a possibility. He then

Community Center Town Meeting
St. Joseph's Parish
Commission members present: Roger Landy, Roger Rubin,
Steven Hickel, Glen Farmer.
Town meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by chairman Roger
Landy. 20 residents were in attendenoe.
Landy explained the Citizen Advisory role in the community
center process. He then gave a brief overview and history of the
commisssions's activities on the center project to date. The
meeting was then open to citizen comments.
Questions were raised concerning financing and what is meant by
TIF funds.
One resident, a Zealand Ave. resident, was concerned about the
location of the center. The area becomes alot of buildings and
parking lots and less of a community park.
Another resident spoke of scaling down the center and then
sharing facilities with Crystal. Maybe we should just build gym
space for park and rec. and let Crystal share this, while our
seniors share the Crystal facility.
Much concern centered around not going over budget. If the
center is to be built, build it within the two million dollars now
in the TIF fund.
The commission answered questions directed to operating
costs. Discussion then reverted back to where the center is to be
built. We should look to tieing the center to existing structures.
Possibly build the center near the City Hall and move the hockey and
skating rinks. Why should we tear up the newly planted trees and
newly paved trails to bulid the center.
The commission was encouraged to look at Winnetka School
because it is so close to the North Ridge part of the TIF district.
In summary, stay withing the 2 million budget. Do not tear up
the park to build the center; look to the area around City Hall.
The citizens will support the operating costs.
One resident asked the City staff to publicize it's call in

NEW HOPE CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMISSION
COMMUNITY CENTER TOWN MEETING
MARCH 15, 1993
NORTH PARK PLAZA
Commissioners Present: Roger Landy, Roger Rubin, Elaine Markey, Steve Hickel
The town meeting was called to order by Chair Landy at 7:00 p.m. Thirty-nine (39)
residents were in attendance.
Chair Landy explained the Citizen Advisory Commission's role in the community center
process. He then gave a brief overview and history of the commission's activities on the
center project to date. The meeting was then open to citizen comments.
A resident, Ms. Pat Norby, provided information she had gathered on T.I.F funding and
wanted to verify that the information was accurate. Chair Landy stated that it was accurate.
She continued that rather than building a community center, she would prefer to see the
T.I.F funds used to improve the park. She also suggested looking at joint ventures with
Crystal.
One resident indicated that she would like to hear from the Parks & Recreation on what
they would put in the building for recreation activities.
Commissioner Rubin explained the different activities the Parks & Recreation Department
intended to use the building for, such as exercise and dance classes, adult and youth athletic
activities, senior meeting space, etc.
A senior resident commented that she would like to see a heated pool in the center. She
stated that many elderly people need to use a heated pool and there is not one in this area.
Another comment was that there is a need for gym space by the Parks & Recreation
Department.
A resident asked the Commission what the consensus was at the other town meetings. Chair
Landy stated that attendance at the other meetings was very low. He noted that most
residents were in favor as long as the community center was built for the amount that was
available in the T.I.F. They did not want to see a referendum to pay for the building.
There were also residents that live on Zealand Avenue at those meetings who were not in
favor of the location. There were also a few opposed to the idea.
Discussion again turned to the use of the Crystal Community Center. It was explained that
the Crystal Community Center is full and is used to capacity. There is not space available
for New Hope to use that building. A North Park Plaza resident, Helene Francel, also
stated that Crystal does not want anymore new senior members. The seniors would like a
room that they could use in New Hope that has restrooms conveniently located and a
kitchen.
Page 2
Community Center Town Meeting
March 15, 1993
Some residents questioned the financing of the center. They wanted to know that if the
construction of a community center was approved, would a referendum be needed?
The Commission indicated that if the center is built for the now estimated S3.5 million then,
ves, there would have to be a referendum. This would depend on what the residents want
included in the building. It could be built for less if it is scaled down and then a
referendum would not be needed.
One of the seniors commented on the use of the Ice Arena Community Room for their club
meetings. She explained that it is extremely difficult to meet there for the seniors because
the restrooms are located on the main floor in the back of the building (they meet on the
top floor). She stated that this room is not heated well and their card tables have been
damaged. Another resident questioned whether empty space in the New Hope Mall could
be rented for the seniors. It was also asked if the Commission had investigated building just
meeting space.
The Commission reported that they have not investigated using mall space or building just
meeting rooms. Depending on the outcome to these meetings and the survey this could be
something to investigate.
Some residents expressed that they are unhappy with the City Council's decision to give
North Ridge T.I.F. funds for their adult daycare center. They were previously unaware that
this was going to take place. A resident stated that there is a need for more communication
between the city and the public. She wanted to know if the information on the town
meetings was going to be made public.
The Commission explained that information on the community center project has been
publicized for some time in the city newsletter, in the POST, and on cable T.V. The town
meeting dates were also listed in the newsletter, in the POST, on the sign on 42nd & Xylon
Avenue, and on Cable. Chair Tandy stated that all information gathered from the town
meetings and the surveys will be made public.
Ms. Shari French, Parks & Recreation Director, was asked to provide information on the
Parks & Recreation Department's use of schools in the district. She noted that the schools
are used to their maximum by the department and athletic association. Every school gym
but Cooper High School is used 5 days per week in the evenings at no cost. Hosterman
Middle School is used to capacity on the weekends for a fee of approximately $7 per hour
for a building supervisory's salary. She noted that other schools would be used on the
weekends but all elementary schools and Cooper High School entail a custodial overtime
fee of approximately $27 per hour if used weekends. At this time that fee is too high for
the department to absorb and would cause program registration fees to be too high for
residents to pay if it were to be passed on to the users.

Community Center Town Meeting
March 15, 1993
Someone questioned whether North Ridge could expand their adult daycare facility for a
senior adult room if the community center is not built. The Commission will check into this
idea.
A resident congratulated the Citizen Advisory Commission for taking this issue out to the
public throughout the City.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
As citizens of the City of New Hope, .,e would like to voice our
opinion on the proposed thought of having a new community center.
we are opposed to a new center in New Hope, and feel it is important
that our viewpoint be counted.
Our underlying reason for opposition _s the tax increase it would
force, probably much more than is estimated and suggested for our
city's residents. We have many facilities which currently duplicate
the uses you suggest for a center ... mlls for walking, the Y, healtn
clubs, school gyms for activities, aniso on. Many of these existing
facilities are very close and adequat4}
There are probably as many positive re sons as negative for the
construction of a center. Please coun our voice of NO.
Thank you.

�� New Hope Community Center Survey
The purpose of this survey is to gather input from resi-
dents regarding their feelings on the need for a commu-
nity center in New Hope. During the past year, the City has
informally discussed this issue, and during the past two
months, the Citizen Advisory Commission has conducted
"town meetings" throughout the City to seek input from
residents. This survey is the last step in gathering com-
munity input before the Commission makes a recommen-
dation to the City Council this spring. The City wants to
receive citizen opinions on this issue, and encourages all
residents to take a few minutes to complete the attached
survey.
During the past year, many residents have expressed the
opinion that there is a need for more gym and meeting room
space in the City. Although the City cooperates with the School
District in utilizing and sharing school facilities, there are still
many needs that have not been met, particularly in adult
athletic programs and open gym time for all ages. Many local
groups such as seniors, boy and girl scouts, civic organiza-
tions, and so forth, have expressed a need for more meeting
room space, and/orthe need for a community gathering place
with a kitchen facility that could be utilized for a wide range of
events, from wedding receptions to pancake feeds.
While it was originally felt that the old fire station could be
utilized for a community center building, independent evalua-
tions of the station have shown that the deteriorating building
would need extensive remodeling, code updates, and a sub-
stantial amount of repairs. The advisability of spending a
significant amount of money to upgrade a building that would
remain functionally deficient is questionable.
The estimated cost of constructing a new community center is
approximately $3.5 million (a basic functional building without
many amenities), that would include gym space with walking
track; meeting rooms for community groups; an aerobics/
dance room for Park and Recreation instructional classes; a
kitchen facility; and a large multi-purpose room that could be
used for such events as wedding receptions. The City Hall
campus, including the area where a proposed community
center would be constructed, is located in a "tax increment
financing district" and the City is investigating the use of "tax
increment funds" (TIF) to finance the construction of a commu-
nity center.
TIF funds are excess revenues derived from an increase
in property valuation after development, and State law
says that excess revenues in a TIF district can only be
used for a limited number of items, of which a community
center is one. TIF funds cannot be used for general City
expenses such as fire trucks, more police officers or
street improvements. The important thing to remember is
that tax increment revenues, not
general tax dollars, would pay
for the construction of the cen-
ter, and if the TIF funds are not
expended, they must be returned
to various taxing Jurisdictions.
While the construction of a com-
munity center could be funded with
TIF dollars, the on-going operating
budget could not. The operating
budget most likely would be funded through the general fund.
It is anticipated that the net annual costs of staffing and
operating the community center would be about $150.000,
and it is not anticipated that revenues derived from the rental
of the facility would equal the operating expenses. It is
estimated that the annual operation of a community center
would increase the taxes of the average New Hooe home
owner by about $18 per year.

Prospective Community Center for the City of New Hope
In the City Report dated January 1992, mayor, Ed Erickson states and I will quote his many
comments.
4) The CITY IS ACTIVELY WORKING WITH OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES TO ASSESS
SERVICES AND TRY TO FIND WAYS TO DELIVER THEM IN A MORE COST
EFFECTIVE MANNER.
THIRD, COUNCIL AND I ARE VERY EXICTED ABOUT THE NEW INITIATIVE STARTED
BY OUR SCHOOL DISCTRICTS AND NEIGHBORING CITIES THAT IS CALLED CO-OP
NORTHWEST THIS IS AN EFFORT TO EXAMINE MORE EFFECTIVE AND MORE
EFFICIENT WAYS IN MEETING THE HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICE NEEDS OF OUR
RESIDENTS. BY WORKING TOGETHER INSTEAD OF SEPARATELY, WE CAN HELP
SOLVE THE PROBLEMS CONFRONTING OUR CITIZENS AND AVOID DUPLICATION
OF SERVICES AND THE HIGH EXPENDITURES THEY REQUIRE.
There has been several town meetings to discuss this topic as well as invitations to write to the city
with opinions, It would seem there has been a fair amount of dissension on this topic or the city
would not be trying to sell this idea so hard to the residents of New Hope.
As you can see, l am opposed to the idea of building a community center I feel it would be much
better to develop the community effort with Crystal , Plymouth or Golden Valley. This would be a
more cost effective arrangement. I believe the reciporal use of the Crystal & New Hope pools was
well received last year. A similiar approach would be more acceptable if the vocal special interest
group feds this is required.
Sincerely,
Katherine J. Peterson

To: The Powers that Be
Enclosed you will find my questionnaire. However, I would like to elaborate.
I'm not sure why the City of New Hope has gone spending/building/remodeling happy, but it
appears that every time we turn around you're doing something new. I was in favor of updating
our Fire Department. This is for everyone's protection. I didn't even mind when the pool area
was redone. I thought, okay -- it's nice for the kids. Then you decided you needed new offices.
That was questionable. However, how anyone can justify the frivolity (and irresponsibility) of
building a "community center" is beyond me -- when New Hope already has many public
buildings to be used for a variety of activities. In fact, we have several schools, perfectly
adequate, to be used for group meetings and educational classes. In the winter, a route within
one of the schools (evenings and weekends) can be established for walkers (they do it in other
schools, which I'm sure you are aware of).
There are many of us New Hope residents who do not use these facilities and resent very much
being forced to pay for new ones. Take stock of what we already have available:
1. Schools - churches
2. YMCA
3. Hockey Arena
4. Swimming Pool (used 2-1/2 months out of the year)
5. Outdoor Theatre
6. Beautiful Park/Ball Fields
7. Playgrounds/Tennis Courts
8. Northridge Home
And maybe some I've missed.
It's time to stop. We needn't "keep up with the Jones's". Just because the surrounding cities
have something doesn't mean we need it, also. Come on, folks. We've been taxed and re -taxed
by everybody this year. Don't you think it's time to QUIT spending and maybe set an example
as being the first Minneapolis suburb to WISE UP and stop imposing hardships on their
residents?

P .S. WHY ARE '.JE ALL AFRAID TO LEAVE OUR HOUSE AFTER DARK! ! ! ? =IS 13
A FAR MORE PRESSING CONCERN FOR US ALL!!
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to express my ooinion concerning New
Hope securing a community center. I'm not in favor
of New Hope building a facility like this. Cities
throughout the :met{r�opollitanCCarea
❑❑are sharing se�er-
men€s more and going 0 ng1LOeh0l dl dDwII°L[lelr
costs to provide services. A good exarple of this
is the cities of New Hope and Crystal looking to
merge both Fire and Police protection. This is an
excellent idea and could help us in both communities
save .many tax dollars. The city of New Hope does
not need a community center to incur pore debt. I
would rather see our tax dollars go to maintain all
city services now in place at their current levels.
Perhaps the tax increment funds now avialable could
either be held in reserve^or they could be used to
overcome buda_et shortfalls. Maintaining fine ser-
vices we now have is important to all of us. These
funds should be used for increased polime protect-
ion or the addition of another canine patrol. Every-
one in the city is a beneficiary of first class
services like police and fire versus the need of a
community center. Z think the advisory council should
inquire whether or not its feasible to rent or lease
or come up with ammo kind of financial agreement to
jointly share the city of Crystal community center.
I'll bet the city of Crystal would welcome additional
funds to pay down the debt they have on their facility.
I do hope the final answer for this question lies in
the hands of the voters. If this simply goes to the
+- PP city council I would hope they will listen to the
citzens of New Hone and vote by a majo 'ty o support
pro or con. Thank You >y/{/� �(/f�

RE: COMMUNITY CENTER QUESTION -HIRE
DATE: April 1, 1993
I find the questionnaire difficult to complete because more
information should be provided. For instance:
o TIF funds have been given to Northridge --why?
How do they qualify for these funds?
o We have been given only one option, the community
center, for the expenditure of TIF funds. Are there
other options?
o Will a community center subtract income from commercial
establishments, such as U.S. Swim and Fitness and the
YMCA?
o Can TIF funds be used to help pay for people who cannot
afford the use of these commercial establishments,
increasing the businesses' revenues and ultimately
ourcommunity's tax income? We owe it to the businesses
in our community to contribute positively to their fiscal
welfare.
o Can we share Crystal's facility?
o Building a community center would be an attractive
community statement but a long-term, costly commitment.
Is this center really a "need"? Our other facilities
are not self-supporting; we don't need another.
Especially when talk is about energy taxes, etc. which
would greatly the operating costs of such a facility, not
to mention the operating costs of the present New Hope
facilities. ,{�3 bq�,
o What is the average income of a New Hope household? I
would guess we are mostly middle class, even lower middle
class, trying to support families.
o In the long run, it is better that we can assure funds
are always available to keep our streets and community at
large well kept. Tax increases may be a necessity to
just maintain a status quo, let alone maintain a
community center.
o This is not good timing to propose a community's
long-term commitment to an expenditure, probably one we
can do without.

The City of New Hope is considering the consolidation of the 911
service with Brooklyn Center and Crystal because the cost is
$150,000 a year and the long range plan is that it will not be
effective. However, I would prefer keeping the service local and
spending our money on this rather than a community center. This is
one way to assure a strong community identity. Also, these other
communities' needs could realistically be greater than New Hope's
and we could be short-changed. Golden Valley and New Hope have
always had a good working relationship, especially the police forces.

Hope known for 8 to 10 weeks. We also
have a Mielke Field problem
and school structural problems.
Thank you, Mary Rausch, for
reminding us one more time to
wake up.
At the Citizens Advisory Com-
mittee meeting March 15 at
North Park Plana, the large
group of people present got a
eye and earful re: the proposed
community center.
The following, confirmed by
Chairman Roger Pandy, was
noted:
. Present construction costs
are $3.5 million.
. Tax increment funds are at
$2 million. $800,000 already has
been given to Notch Ridge for
adult day care and con-
taminated sod.
• Maintenance costs will be
closer to $200,000 a year, or $18 a
year per family?
• Local tax services are up 9.5
percent; Hennepin County taxes
are up 6.9 percent. State and
federal increases won't be
• Money could be used to tear
down the old fire station and/or
upgrade the pari to A-1 status,
® If funds are not used by 1997,
they will be returned to our tax-
ing jurisdiction. '
• The focus of a building for
seniors, determined in 1991 by a
survey to neighbors over 50, has
changed to a younger
focus—meeting rooms, track,
etcetera.
At a meeting in June 1991 at
North Ridge, New Hope City
Manager Dan Donahue remind-
ed those of us present that, "No
present proposal would require
citizen approval by
referendum.”
Folks, let's look at this well.
Please return your survey in ci-
ty report number 91, March
1993.

G.V. has a problem
To the editor:
We have a problem in Golden
Valley. Our city council does not
represent the people.
On March 16, a meeting,
evidently to fulfill the obliga-
tions of the law, was held in
regard to the widening of Win-
netka Avenue. Not one person
spoke in favor of the project, but
the city council of Golden Valley
voted 41 to go ahead with this
construction.
The east side of the shopping
area on Highway 55 still looks
terrible, after years of promises
to improve it. The only
businesses left when the council
gets done will be the west part of
the Golden Valley Shopping
Center. We certainly don't need
all the parking that they say
we'll have. There won't be
anything to park for.
Does anyone know who the
Golden Valley City Council
represents?

Re: City Community Center
Dear Kirk,
I want to thank you for all your help and patience in
providing information to me regarding the Community Center.
As I stated, I first started gathering information regarding
the possibility of building the Center as a project for the
Creative Problem Solving Class I am enrolled in at North
Hennepin Community College. As a New Hope resident, this
has increased my awareness and concern for this project.
You have my permission to retain my name and address
for future reference when the City decides to take further
action regarding this matter, I regret not being more
involved in this issue before.
Thank you again for your time.
Sincerely.

PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES
Mr. Herman presented a rough drawing of the
plaza design and explained what ideas will be
proposed.
Commissioner Rubin inquired about where the
funds would come from for this project.
Ms. French replied that the City has tax
increment districts set up. One of these tax
increment districts is the North Ridge district
which is closing out. There is apparently
funding from the interest revenue generated from
the tax increment district that can only be used
for a community center. She explained that the
City will have enough money out of that district
by 1992 to fund the entire project.
Commissioner Perhai felt that the design of the
Theatre should tie in with the design of -the
park amenities.
Mr. Herman stated that the proposed idea is to
try to tie all of the buildings together.
Motion was. made by Commissioner Landy to accept
the conceptual plans of Bernard Herman
Architects concerning the Civic Center Park
improvements. Second by Commissioner Perhai.
All approved. Motion carried.
COMMUNITY CENTER Bernard Herman began by noting that the Fire
Station building had been inventoried in great
detail. He pointed out that there were a
tremendous amount of code violations in the
building that currently exist. For instance,
the second floor does not meet code in terms of
fire exits, the mechanical room does not meet
code in terms of separation, there is not
adequate stairways. The building is
deteriorating fairly rapidly now and there are
many improvements that need to be made. He
continued by reporting that the basic structure
is pretty good and that there is a reasonable
structure to work with. He felt the apparatus
area, with its high ceilings and open area would
be great space for a gymnasium or social hall.
Mr. Herman stated that by putting on an addition
with a stairway and a new entrance the building
could become a badly needed building in the
community. From the architect's standpoint,
they think the building has potential. While it
has a lot of code problems, deterioration and
New Hope Citizen Advisory Commission February 26, 1990
Page 3
maintenance issues, those problems can be take
care of. A new mechanical system and ai.
conditioning would have to be brought in, but
Mr. Herman thinks it can be done.
Commissioner Landy asked Mr. Herman to estimate
the cost of renovating and bringing the building
up to code.
Mr. Herman thought it could be done for 1/2
million, maybe less. He expressed that it would
depend on what was included in the building.
Commissioner Perhai questioned whether New Hope
needed a social hall with all the neighboring
communities having their own community centers.
Mr. Herman stated that those cities cater to
their own municipalities.
Commissioner Rubin asked if the building was
used for a social hall, whether the upper level
could be refurbished for office space.
Mr. Herman stated that it could be if the second
stairway is added.
® Ms. French commented that the purpose of thi
discussion is to determine whether or not there
is a need here for some kind of a center and
whether this is the place to have it. Then the
next part of the discussion will be on the
specific type of facility needed. It could be
either a social hall or gymnasium. There may
not be room for both.
Ms. French also commented on how the City is
lacking for gym space for adult sports. Almost
all of the gym space available is used for youth
sports.
Ms. French continued that she would like the
commission to make a recommendation on a needs
assessment. The City could have a company come
in and do the study or try to conduct a study on
its own.
New Hope citizen Advisory Commission February 26, 19S
Page 4
Commissioner Landy expressed that he was not
totally in favor of Decision Resources
conducting the needs assessment. He felt that
this should be something that the City tackle
itself. He suggested conducting a mail survey
or bringing in the leaders in the community.
It was the consensus of the Commission to hold a
public meeting in March and invite the leaders
in the community, such as the Lions, Women of
Today, NHPAA, Senior Club presidents, etc. The
Commission recommended that the Civic Center
neighborhood should be invited to the April
meeting to voice their interest or concerns.
CIVIC CENTER PLAY- Shari French added to the agenda the discussion
GROUND EQUIPMENT of the addition of new playground equipment to
Civic Center Park. The Civic Center park
neighborhood presented a petition last year
requesting new playground equipment at the park
and the Commission was in favor of having Civic
Center be the next park to get new equipment.
She explained that there is $75,000 in the CIP
which was to cover equipment at two parks.
Ms. French suggested that one idea would be to
® put all those funds into Civic Center park
Jl equipment, since Civic Center will be the focal
point this year. one of the national playground
companies is building handicapped accessible
equipment that they would like to see put in New
Hope. The Commission needs to look at the idea
of adding totally accessible equipment to the
park. Ms. French distributed pictures of the
equipment for the Commissioners to review. She
stated that all of the CIP funds would be needed
for this project, possibly more. Ms. French
explained that she does not feel comfortable
going with totally handicapped accessible
equipment. She feels she must also look at the
other 95% of the youth that are not handicapped
that will be using the equipment and be sure
they are also challenged by the equipment.
Commissioner Perhai felt that the City could get
by with just a couple of pieces of handicapped
accessible equipment in the park. She stated
that it is very difficult to bring a child with
special needs to a park on a consistent basis.
Unless the City is mandated to install it, she
did not feel the park should be totally
4,0 handicapped accessible.

AND/OR GYMNASIUM
themselves and voice their views on the need

Hope.
Kathleen Ohnstad was recognized. She stated
she was a member of the New Hope Seniors and
looking for a place to hold their meetings.
She said that the senior group was now meeting
in the ice arena twice a month but would
perhaps meet more often if their was available
space. Mrs. Ohnstad said the facilities at the
ice arena were fine except for the bathroom
being down a flight of stairs which made it
difficult for some of the seniors to use as
some had walkers. She spoke in favor of a
community center for their group. Commissioner
Landy questioned Mrs. Ohnstad about what kind
of activities the group participated in. Mrs.
Ohnstad replied that mostly they played cards
and went out for dinners and lunches. She
stated that there are forty-one paid up members
for 1990.
Jim Lee was recognized. He stated he was
director of the basketball program for the New
Hope Plymouth Athletic Association. Mr. Lee
stated that they were desperately short of gym

0
space in the schools for their basketball
program. He said there were around 470
children signed up from third grade to ninth
grade (both boys and girls). They worked with
the school district for gym space and were
bumped often for concerts and school
activities. The New Hope Plymouth Athletic
Association added 70 new children this year and
it is expected that it will continue to grow.
The association would like to add another
traveling basketball team in the 6th, 7th, 8th
and 9th grade level, but at this time, they
cannot do it because of the lack of gym space
for practice.
Susan Bassett, Recreation Supervisor for the
City of New Hope was recognized. Ms. Bassett
stated that she too would be interested in
having a room in the community center for the -
seniors. She stated that if the seniors had
a room that was more accessible, an expanded
program for the seniors was something that
could be looked into so that they could add
various programs like exercise classes. She
stated that they now meet in the schools and
have had a tough time this year being bumped
from place to place. Ms. Bassett said they
were starting to get a good following for these
classes and are also getting discouraged New
Hope participants because of the constant
changes in places to gather.
Commissioner Landy asked Ms. Bassett if there
were any other needs in the City to utilize the
Community Center. Ms. Bassett replied that
there is a teen night held in conjunction with
the City of Crystal that is held at Hosterman
Middle School and has worked quite well, but
could expand into more than one night a month
and use the Community Center and also plan more
programs if they had a place they could plan
on.
Steve Ellingson, Athletic Supervisor for the
City of New Hope, identified himself. He
stated that the City is in desperate need of
practice facilities. He stated that the New
Hope Park department has no programs for adults
interested in basketball any only women's
volleyball. The City has only one adult night,
Monday night at Hosterman Middle School.
New Hope Citizen Advisory Commission March 19, 1990
Page 2
Possible other programs that could be provided
in a community center are gymnastics, aerobics,
teeny tumblers and pee wee tennis programs.
Many adults now have to go to Crystal or
Plymouth to have their adult recreational needs
met. He said there is a big need for such
programs.
Shari French, Director of Parks and Recreation
gave a brief outline of the existing facility.
Ms. French stated that last fall the City of
New Hope passed a referendum to build a new
fire station and it will be completed in March
or April of 1991. The fire station will be
located where the pool bathhouse is now. The
fire station that exists now may or may not be
available for a community center and the City
Council has asked the Citizen Advisory
Commission to study the need for a community -
center in New Hope. If the Advisory Commission
decided that there is a need for a community
center, then they must decide what kind of
facility does the City need. Ms. French stated
that the question the Commission must determine
now is what kind of community center does the
City need, one with meeting space, one with gym
.y space, or both.
Ms. French stated that there is a possibility
of using the old fire station but that is
something the Commission needs to look at
further this spring to see if the building is
able to be used. She stated that it is old,
there are some structural things wrong with it
that would have to be fixed before it could be
occupied by the public for any kind of a public
facility. She continued by saying another
possibility could be to build a new facility
if the community decided that there is a need
for one.
Commissioner Landy stated that he met with Ken
Johnson, head of the Parks Commission in New
Brighton, and New Brighton has studied the need
for a community center for two years.
Commissioner Landy submitted the New Brighton
Community Center study as an inclusion to these
minutes. New Brighton is building a 60,000
square feet recreational facility as Phase I
and if they get funding an ice arena as Phase
II. He stated that all of their resources are
!J New Hope Citizen Advisory Commission March 19, 1990

i
available to the City of New Hope.
Commissioner Perhai questioned if the new
facility in Crystal would take any of the
pressure off the athletic groups. Jim Lee of
the NHPAA replied that he didn't believe it
would make any difference and does not see that
as an alternative.
Chair Farmer stated that the Commission will
be pursuing this issue and keeping the citizens
informed as to what is going on. Chair Farmer
stated that from what he was hearing, that the
citizens were in favor of a community center.
Commissioner Landy suggested that the Citizen
Advisory Commission tour the fire facility next
month, receive the report that Bernie Herman
had prepared when he and the consultant looked -
at the building and also to have Larry Watts,
Finance Director, present to discuss financing
of such a facility.
DISCUSSION OF PUNS Susan Bassett, Recreation Supervisor for the
FOR IIP -CONING GRAND City stated that the plans are starting to
OPENING OF THE NEW form for the grand opening of the new bathhouse
BATHHOUSE 6/9/90 slated to open on June 9. She stated she was
open for suggestions from the Commission. Ms.
Bassett stated that they are planning on a
ribbon cutting ceremony with the Mayor at 1:00
p.m. and a free swim from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The
Commission suggested a drawing for a free
family pool pass for the year, fire truck on
site, K-9 unit, face painting, entertainment
and clowns. The Commission also suggested
advertising in the Post, Cable T.V. and alsc
the summer brochure. Chair Farmer suggested
getting the senior citizens involved in some
way.

The Commissioners discussed the tour of the

facility and the pros and cons of using the
FEASIBILITY OF
facility as a community center. The consensus
REMODELING FIRE
of the committee after touring the building is
STATION INTO
that it would not be suitable to use as a
COMMUNITY
community center because of the extremely high
CENTER
cost of remodeling. Motion by Commissioner
Rubin and seconded by Commissioner Perhai that
the Citizen Advisory Committee has toured the
existing fire facility, reviewed the finances
available, discussed with "experts" regarding
the feasibility of retaining or remodeling the
building. It is the opinion of the Citizen
Advisory Committee that the current fire
station not be considered for remodeling for
a community center. However, the site of the
current fire station should be considered for
future use of a community center for the City
of New Hope with this Commission being advised
and consulted regarding the potential
construction of a community center. All
approved. Motion carried.

•
Chair Farmer turned the meeting over to Mr. Dan Donahue,
City Manager, to discuss the improvements to the City Hall
Campus. Mr. Donahue explained to the audience that the
Citizen Advisory Commission is interested in receiving
input on a series of concepts involving the City Center
complex. He continued that there have been no decisions
made and no monies spent on putting together these
concepts. The projects being discussed are City Hall
Entrance Landscaping and Handicapped Accessibility
Improvements, City Hall Expansion over Existing Police
Garages, and a Community Center. Mr. Donahue explained
that the Commission is here tonight to receive input from
the public on whether the City should expend monies on
those types of ventures. The City has enlisted the aid of
the City's engineering firm, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik &
Associates, to help put together those concepts. Members
of that firm are present to discuss those concepts. Mr.
Donahue stated that the Citizen Advisory Commission will
accept the audiences testimony, ideas, and input on whether
the City should even look into these items and will report
that input back to the City Council. The City Manager
reiterated that nothing at this time has been decided and

Mr. Russek continued that the primary change in t1 -
basement is that the police firing range has been removes,
There will be four extra parking places for the police
vehicles, a storage area, and a stairway for safe exiting
from the office space above. There is also some bracing
being done to make the floor stronger.
Commissioner Hickel asked if there would be a need for
additional electrical and plumbing for the upper level.
Mr. Russek replied that additional plumbing would not have
to be added. There are now enough plumbing fixtures to
serve the needs. There will probably need to be additional
electrical service and some heating, ventilation and air
conditioning provided.
COMMUNITY Mr. Donahue began by stating that whether the City should
CENTER CONCEPT even entertain the idea of a community center is really the
issue. He wanted to emphasize that nothing has been done
other than developing a concept for a community center. No
money has been expended on this idea, not even for
developing the plans. The whole focus is on whether the
City should entertain the idea, what kinds of needs the
City has for a community center, and whether the City even
has a need for a community center. Mr. Donahue noted that
City staff has been working with the consultants to put
together a concept plan. In explaining the concept, Mr
Donahue showed an overall illustration of the City Campu;
The proposed community center would face the existing City
Hall parking lot.
Mr. Donahue stated that the City Council actually began
working on the plan back in 1986-87. The Council at that
time spent a considerable amount of time thinking and
talking about what the needs were of the City in regards to
the City Center area. At that time the Council received
input that there was a critical need to upgrade the whole
pool area and the fire station. Those issues would be the
first phase and would be dealt with first. The Council
also decided that the idea of a community center would be
explored in the future, whether there was a need, and
whether it was an issue in the City. This mission was long
ago given to the Citizen Advisory Commission and that is
why this public hearing is being held.
Mr. Donahue indicated that it is very important for the
public to relate to the Citizen Advisory Commission and
City Council what it is they want. Mr. Donahue reiterated
that the Council has made no plans on anything at this
time.
Wdew Hope Citizen Advisory Commission October 21, 1991

Mr. Russek expressed that the primary goal of planning a
community center is having something for everybody. He
continued by providing the plans for the public to view.
He stated that the main floor consists of two primary
areas. First, there is the community room which is a large
room with a southern exposure and a patio area. This room
is dividable by two folding dividers into three separate
areas. The second major use area is the gymnasium. The
gymnasium is planned around a typical basketball gym, but
also has an elevated walkway that is accessible from the
upper level by stairs or by elevator. Mr. Russek stated
that his firm's experience indicates that the most used
feature is the walkway, which everyone can use at anytime.
There is also space for a stage on one end of the gym and
storage on the other end. There is a kitchen with serving
windows serving both the community room and the gym. There
is also a service area that leads to the kitchen. Also
included on the main floor is a dance/aerobics room, a
youth room, public restrooms, locker rooms, a warming room,
and an office area for the recreation staff.
Mr. Russek noted that there is also an upper area which
consists of storage for the most part, the elevated
walkway, an area for additional restrooms, and a mezzanine
space, which would be an unfinished space for future use.
1 Mr. Russek went on to discuss the site plan. He stated
that the community center is planned to form an ensemble
with the existing buildings. The tennis courts and
basketball court would be relocated and would act as
buffers. There would also be a landscaped berm along
Zealand Avenue to reduce the impact of the building on the
houses across the street.
Ms. Terri Wehling asked if there would be an area for
bleachers included in the gym for spectators.
Mr. Russek responded that there would be room all the way
around to have a small number of bleachers.
Ms. Wehling wanted to know what number of people the
community room could hold.
Mr. Russek noted that at restaurant density the room could
seat 300 people. At lecture density, with people sitting
in chairs, the capacity would be twice that.
Ms. Wehling asked what would happen to the playground area
if the community center is built and whether there would be
access from Zealand Avenue to the parking area.
•few Hope Citizen Advisory Commission October 21, 1991

Mr. Russek explained that the play area would be relocated
to the north. The play area is very easy to relocate. TY
play structure would be disassembled and moved to the n,
location. He stated that there would be no access from
Zealand Avenue because it is a residential -type street and
is not designed or intended to carry a large volume of
traffic. Whereas Xylon Avenue, serving a commercial area,
is intended to carry a large volume.
The City Manager stated that what City staff and the
consultants have identified as a need consists of a large
meeting room, space for people to meet with the space
available for rent, and space for weddings and community
events. Staff has identified a need for additional gym
space, because all available gym space in the schools is
used and the City still comes up short of space. There is
a big demand, for both youth and adult, for gym space. The
need has also been identified to relocate the Parks &
Recreation Department to that building. Currently, they
are in a very closed, confined space at City Hall. It is
felt that it would be a much better service to the
community to relocate the staff to that building. First,
there will be more space and it will be more easily
accessible. They can also take care of the building at the
same time. Mr. Donahue expounded that these are the three
main program areas of use. He explained that you could put
the building to more uses, with many more amenities added,
depending on what kind of needs and wants the community ha -
in mind.
Mr. Donahue asked for the public to address the Commission
with their views and input on a future community center and
the other City Hall items that have been discussed.
Ms. Terri Wehling, 3033 Gettysburg Avenue North, approached
the Commission. She stated that she is involved in several
community organizations in New Hope including Duk Duk Daze
Chair, Women of Today, Girl Scout leader, and has been a
guest at the Lions and Lioness' meetings. She also has
four children who are involved in several extracurricular
activities. She feels the City definitely needs meeting
space. Right now the Women of Today are meeting in the
community room at Norwest Bank. She explained that there
are now 65 members and the room they use is not handicapped
accessible. She continued that the organization also holds
many community events and there is always a difficulty as
to where to hold such events. She stated that she was the
Duk Duk Daze Chair last year, and with the growing Parks &
Recreation programs, found it very difficult to find a
place to meet. She noted that the Girl Scouts in the area
have been meeting at the Larch Lane fire station, and at
Wew Hope Citizen Advisory Commission October 21, 1991
Page 7
the last meeting there were so many people in attendance
they had to meet out in the parking lot. Ms. Wehling
continued that her daughter plays basketball and they had
their practices shorten to 1/2 hour practices twice a week
from 1 hour twice a week because of the lack of gym space.
Mr. Scott Adkisson, 4500 Oregon Avenue North, was in
attendance representing the New Hope Plymouth Athletic
Association. Mr. Adkisson is president of the Athletic
Association and one of the reasons he was in attendance was
to express the need for meeting space. He stated that
meeting space is very major for them because they carry 25-
30 people at each meeting. The group is now meeting in the
downstairs conference room at City Hall which does not
accommodate these numbers. The association is now looking
at Nickalows which offered them a meeting place in their
basement. Mr. Adkisson does not feel it is proper to have
meetings for a youth organization at a restaurant.
Mr. Adkisson wanted to give the Commission some insight on
the basketball program and why they are looking for gym
space. Last year the program had 345 youth playing
basketball, which equals out to 43 teams. Right now they
do not have enough space. He commented that they have
teams practicing at 9:00 and 9:30 at night. He stated that
the association may be losing one of their full court gyms
in Plymouth next year, which they need very badly. He
noted that individual sign ups are now at 2,008 for all of
the NHPAA programs. Mr. Adkisson commented that the
program has grown at a 108 rate for the last three years in
all of the programs. The basketball program has grown
again this year and is up approximately 100 youth, with a
total of 55 teams.
Ms. Helene Francel, 8201 45th Avenue North, is a senior who
lives across the street at North Park Plaza. She stated
that she and other seniors are interested in a meeting
room. She was president of the New Hope Senior's Club for
four years which meets at the Ice Arena Community Room.
She said the constant complaints were that they had to go
upstairs to meet and they also had no restrooms on the
upper level. The seniors would like to be a part of this
decision and would appreciate a small meeting room. She
stated that the club has steadily been losing members due
to the space they have to use for their meetings. Ms.
Francel asked how well the meeting room at a new community
center would be supervised.
Oew Hope Citizen Advisory Commission October 21, 1991
Page 8
Ms. Shari French, Parks & Recreation Director, replied that
staff would do as good a job at supervising the rooms r
possible with the staff available.
Ms. Wehling asked is there could be a section of the
community center for a senior room.
Mr. Donahue stated that there would be space available on
the second level to be programmed.
Commissioner Markey asked the City Manager to explain the
financing of a community center.
Mr. Donahue replied that the community center, at this
time, is just a concept so he does not have any actual
figures. The concept that was presented should cost around
$2.5-3 million. This would be a basic, functional building
without many amenities. He stated that by comparison, the
Crystal Community Center cost $3.7 million. Crystal has
more amenities and a few more programs, such as congregate
dining. Crystal has more uses than New Hope has in mind.
That doesn't mean New Hope can't get into that if that is
what the public would like.
Mr. Donahue explained that years ago the City Council set
up this whole district in what is called a tax increment
district. Funds have been accumulating over the years so
there is money available that could be expended for
community center. State law says that excess revenues
a tax increment district can be used for a community
center. It cannot be used for fire engines, City Hall, or
wages. Mr. Donahue proposed to the Council that they
expend some of those excess revenues, some of the revenues
that won't be needed to pay off the tax revenue debt,
towards the community center. He noted that some of that
money has already been spent on the pool renovations. To
date, some $700,000 has been spent that has come from the
tax increment revenues, not the general taxes. The
proposal presented tonight could be funded from the excess
revenues from that tax increment district. What we don't
know is how much a community center is going to cost to
operate. The City is trying to analyze the cost of
operating this facility. The City needs to know if this
facility is going to make some money or if this is
something the general fund and the tax payers are going to
have to support year after year.
Chair Farmer questioned whether there would be any federal
funding available.
*New Hope Citizen Advisory Commission October 21, 1991
Page 9
The City Manager stated that he thought some limited
' federal funds would be available. This would include funds
for the disability access issues. He does not believe any
other federal funds would be available to go towards a
community center. Mr. Donahue is urging the Citizen
Advisory Commission and the Council to look closely at what
the ongoing costs would be of maintaining a community
center.
Commissioner Hickel asked if there is money available at
this time to pay for a $2.5 million facility.
Mr. Donahue replied that funds are not available at this
time. The life of the tax increment district runs through
1997 or 1998. By the end of that district's life there
will be sufficient revenue to probably pay for the
facility. The City needs to project out into the future
and come close to estimating how much revenue will be
generated based upon the market value of those properties
in that tax increment district. An assessment agreement
was also set up so there is a minimum value, which takes
away some of the risk.
Commissioner Hickel asked that if based upon those
projections, three or four years from now, there would be
sufficient funds and this project could be initiated.
Mr. Donahue stated that the project could be initiated at
almost anytime. There are several mechanisms that could be
used for funding. The City could do some internal funding
by borrowing from one fund and paying it back in the
future. He noted that bonds could not be sold without the
vote from the citizens. There are a couple of different
mechanisms that are going to be explored with the City's
financial consultants.
Commissioner Hickel inquired whether these funds could be
used to refurbish certain areas of the ice arena.
The City Manager replied that they absolutely could not be
used on the ice arena. Money can only be expended within
the tax increment district. Years ago the City Hall was
incorporated into that district with the handicapped
housing project and North Ridge Care Center. Those are the
only properties in that district. Under today's state law
you cannot expand the district to pick up something you
want to work on. Since the ice arena community room was
not in the original district, you cannot include it today
and the current dollars cannot be expended on that.

Chair Farmer thanked the people present for participati
at this public hearing. He asked that those in attendan,_
pass this information on to others in the community and
please inform the City by a call or letter on any comments
they may want to present. At this time Chair Farmer closed
this portion of the meeting. Mr. Donahue and the
Commission thanked Bob Rosene, Bob Russek, and Rene Plumart
for all of the work and input they have put into the
project.
The City Manager stated that the Citizen Advisory
Commission's recommendation would go directly to the
Council. Mr. Donahue does not see the Council discussing
this issue until the first part of next year. He stated
that if the project is approved no work would start until,
at the earliest, next summer.
The Advisory Commission continued discussion on the
community center. Commission Rubin asked about the
relocation of the tennis courts.
Under the presented concept, Ms. French stated that two of
the four tennis courts would be relocated. She noted that
only two courts would be relocated so there is room for the
basketball court to be relocated also. With only two
courts, this could present a problem for the lessons
programs and leagues. She commented that there will be -
balancing act trying to get everything included on th.
site.
Commissioner Markey asked if Plymouth has any plans down
the road to put in a community center.
Ms. French commented that a community center has been a
very controversial issue in Plymouth. The public did not
want a community center and the city said they were going
to build one. In the election of 1989 three people lost
their seats on the Council because of the community center
issue. Ms. French understands that they City of Plymouth
has spent the money that they had available for a community
center. They had funds that they have spent on the public
works building, a new police facility next to City Hall,
and two new play fields.
Commissioner Markey questioned whether one gym would
alleviate the problem of the needed gym space in the
community.
Wew Hope Citizen Advisory Commission October 21, 1991
Page 11
Mr. Steve Ellingson, Athletic Supervisor, stated that right
now there is no space for adult athletics. New Hope now
uses Hosterman on Monday nights for women's volleyball.
New Hope only has six hours of gym space per week to
program for adults. other than that, virtually no extra
gym space is available for adults. With at least one extra
gym, some adult programming would be possible. One gym
could accommodate two full size volleyball courts and one
full size basketball court. He stated that with one gym we
would program heavily on the adult side. Mr. Ellingson
feels that we are not offering the adults in the community
enough indoor recreation.
Ms. French stated that right now we are programming over
100 hours of gym time per week. The youth programs use 100
hours and adults six hours per week. If a gym were added
we would be adding 5-6 hours of gym space on weekdays and
10-12 on weekends. She noted that when Crystal built their
community center with three gymnasiums, they did not give
up one hour of gym space in the schools. They filled every
hour of gym space in their three gyms without giving up any
time in the schools. She stated that there are many groups
looking for space indoors, especially in Minnesota.
Mr. Ellingson went on to explain that when we have gym time
scheduled in the schools and the schools need to hold a
4,0 meeting or special event, we get bumped out of the space.
If they say they will only have the buildings open until
9:00 p.m., we have to be out by 9:00.
Commissioner Landy asked if community centers are generally
profitable.
Mr. Russek stated that he does not believe so. Mr. Rosene
commented that most try to just cover the operating costs.
Chair Farmer commented that he did not feel you could put
a value on what the public and city would gain from a
community center.
Chair Farmer suggested that the Commissioners divide into
sub -committees to study the different projects proposed for
the City and report back in 60 days. The sub -committees
were divided as follows:
Community Center: All Members
City Hall Entrance: Commissioners Stinson, Carroll, Rubin
City Hall Expansion: Commissioners Markey, Stillman, Landy

of
FIRE,STATION BUILDING
for
CITY OF NEW HOPE
Introduction:
The original fire station was constructed in 1961. In 1967, a single story
addition was added to the north end of the building for a dormitory, and squad
room. In 1970, a second addition was added to the south end of the building
for expansion of the Apparatus Room.
This Evaluation of the Existing Fire Station Building is Part 3- of our scope
of planning services and is divided into three parts: Building Code Analysis,
Maintenance and Repair Requirements, and Inventory of Existing _Conditions.
Part 1 of our services was the Tour of Fire Station Facilities, which has been
Meted, and Part 2 was the Program Requirements for the New Hope Fire
Station which was submitted to the City on February 10, 1989.
In order to evaluate the existing fire station facility, this report includes
a partial cost estimate for the necessary construction work to.xupg;ade the
building for code oomplianand ce, arepair and maintenance of existing
conditions.
There is no attempt in this Evaluation to analyze planuning alternatives for a
new or remodeled fire station facility. Part 4 of our services will include
an Analysis of Planning Options which will consider planning alternatives for
reuse or retrofit of the existing building, new construction, or both.

EVALUATION
of
FIRE STATION BUILDING
for
CITY OF NEW HOPS
Building Code Analysis:
An on-site review of the existing fire station has revealed a long list of
code violations and issues that should be resolved in order that this building
conform with applicable codes, ordinances and reasonable standards of
construction. The following is a partial list of code related issues or
.-violations that should be corrected if the building is to be utilized as part
of an expanded fire station facility:
1. Meeting Room on second floor does not have two means of egress.
(Requirement is based on occupant load.)
2..;. The stair -ay to the second floor is not contained in a fire rated
enclosure.
3. 'Stairway handrails are not proper length extending 6 beyond top and
bottom stair nosings.
4. Corridor on first floor is dead ended and does not have second means of
egress.
5. Wall separation between Apparatus Pow ( e), B-1 Occupancy, and the
balance of building, B-2 Occupancy, is not a 1 -Hour rated wall as
required. This affects all openings in the wall including ductwork,
windows and doors. Operating windowss should be eliminated.
6. Hose Timer does not have a ship's ladder or stairway system for access to
the upper portion of the tower. (Vertical ladder is not acceptable.)
7. Dormitory Roo® of first floor should not have, direct . and open
accessibility to gas-fired furnace.
8. Kitchen on second floor should not be an open space within the Mechanical
Roam which should be separated by a one-hour rated wall enclosure. Also,
the mechanical ductwork in this roam is less than 7'-0" above the floor
which is too low and not permitted.
9. Meeting roc® on second floor in not properly ventilated.
Note: When the interior windows to the Apparatus Roc® are opened, a
negative pressure is created in the building. One window is
broken and is always open.
10. Meeting Room and Kitchen on second floor are not handicapped accessible.

the existing fire station facility is obviously undersized and inadequately
equipped,td'properly serve the current needs and programs of the New Hope Fire
Department: this conclusion is based on information identified in the program
for Fire Station Facility. Further, the -building is deteriorating and in need
of substantial °impairs and maintenance. As a result, there has been an
adverse a:'fect„on:the morale and efficiency of the Department. Further, the
overall lack :of quality facilities may be detrimental to recruitment and
retention offirefighters.
Space deficiencies are typical throughoiet'the entire building. The need for
additional,apaceraffect storage and maintenance <of apparatus, equipment
storage ;A,„,mai enan:e, firefighter training, operations center/dispatch,
administration; -and general storage. Additional space is needed to provide
for public education, emergency standby quarters for sale and female
firefighters, and an emergency operations canter (BOC). The current building
does not meet the functional requirements of the Department.
There are numerous repair and maintenance items described in this report most
of which can be taken care of, some at great expense. However, building code
violations will be more difficult, if not impossible, to totally resolve due
to limitations of space and nature of existing construction In order for
this building to be brought up to code, extensive remodeling will be required
including redesign of the mechanical and electrical systems. It should be
emphasized that even if the building is brought -up to code -and all items of
repair and maintenance taken care of, the building will not meet the
functional or space requirements of the Fire Department. Accordingly, the
advisability of spending a significant amount of money to upgrade a building
that will remain functionally deficient is questionable.
