IV. Collindale Clubhouse Replacement
City of Fort Collins Project Manager, Steve White and Matt Rankin from Vaught•Frye Architects, presented
the current design drawings of the Collindale Clubhouse. Some portions of the initial design have been or
may be cut due to budget constraints. The design team is interested in the idea of design elements used
throughout the building rather than a single sculpture. Mr. White recommended an artist be assigned to the
project. The construction timeline is; final design would be put out to bid in mid December, with
construction completed in December 2002. Ms. Martin said the Design Consultant must present ideas to the
board before they are taken to city council for approval. The board discussed commissioning artist Carolyn
Braaksma because of the interest in focusing on the concrete work on this project.
Mr. Sherman motioned that the board recommends the design team moves forward with the commission of
Carolyn Braaksma, pending availability or proceeds using the pre -approved design consultant list.
Ms. Gram seconded.
Unanimously approved.
