Human Services Corporation Proposal
Board members have previously received a conceptual proposal from the Human Services
Corporation for the construction of a Human Services Facility at Riverside Park,
north of the Northside Aztlan Community Center. Lyn Boyer presented the request for
construction of a facility to house a variety of Community Agencies (i.e. - United
Day Care, United Way, Handicapped Information, etc.) Bernie Cain showed the con-
ceptual drawings, needs of 3.5 to 4 acres - the building would be 28,000-30,000 sq.
feet. Northside location conducive to a large number of people who use the
facilities. Bernie responded to Chuck Solano's question regarding building on fill,
methane gas, and flood plain. $1.5 million is the estimated cost.
H. R. pointed out some concerns regarding future expansion of Northside Aztlan
Center. Jean Helburg stated current parking/traffic problems. Concern on Poudre
River Trust and where that concept is going and how this might affect building.
Bob Aukerman expressed concern about the effect on "Greenbelt and Open Space" concept.
After further discussion, H. R. requested that he have more time to review the concepts
presented tonight with staff. The Board agreed to hold a SPECIAL MEETING on Tuesday,
December 13, 1983, at 4:30 P.M., on this subject.
Landings Park Development Project
Very shortly we will be going to City Council with a Budget Transfer request, moving
approximately $300,000 from Parkland Fund Undesignated Reserves to a Project Account,
for the construction of this 8 acre neighborhood park, located north of Harmony Road
on Boardwalk Drive. This project has been planned for 1984 construction since 1981.
The Board originally approved the Master Plan on February 26, 1980, by a vote of 7:0.
On February 22, 1983, the Board voted 9:0 to accept the revised Master Plan, which
is our current construction plan. At the June 28, 1983 Board meeting, members
unanimously concurred with the 1984 proposed Parkland Fund Budget, which included a
projected $274,000 in 1983 Revised for Landings Park construction.
We are now waiting on the final cost estimates from the Architect, and we will
go out to bid after City Council approval of the budget. Annual 08M for the Park
is estimated to cost around $20,000. There was some discussion regarding this;
however, there were no objections from Board members, so staff will proceed as
planned.
