New Business:
WTI Report re: TRAC Conversion for Aguatic Center
Mr. Strebel presented the Water Technology Inc (WTI) proposal for evaluation and design
services for the potential conversion of the TRAC arena into an aquatic facility. Attention
was directed to the Summary located on Page i of the Feasibility Report.
Mr. Strebel stated the report reflected that the existing shell/barrier was not suita.ble for use as
an aquatic center due to the chemicals used to treat the water; the HVAC system would need
to be remodeled due to a new usage; and the concrete tie beams under the arena would need
to be considered regarding any future structural changes.
Mr. Dietrich shared 2 concerns: 1) Would the "barrier" be functional 10-years from now? 2)
What is the anticipated remodel expense to the structure in order to accommodate an aquatic
center?
Dr. Jilek shared his concern regarding the image of an"arena" becoming an "aquatic center"
— image is important and a different "curb appeal" should be considered. Something should
be designed to retain attraction 10-years from now.
Mr. Strebel stated he would contact the consultant regarding the questions.
Board provided staff with general consensus to continue working with Franklin County
regarding possible transfer of ownership of the TRAC facility.
