The Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-07-29, Page 40S orts Aqu•:tic Committee to ask for architectural assistance The Aquatics Centre Committee plans to go before Goderich Town Council Aug. 17 with a request to hire an architect as a con- sultant on future designs of a scaled down or phased aquatic facility. Teresa Feagan, in charge of publicity for the committee, stressed they are not asking for new money. Money ( around $20,000) has been set aside for implemen- tation of the Master Plan, she. said. "It (the money) is not for building but for planning. We are not asking for any new money," said Feagan. Moffat Kinoshita Associates did the original concept drawing and Feagan said they would be eager to help the committee. Whoever they choose, she said they wanted -to go with a specialist in the field. Someone who has experience building aquatic facilities. Feagan felt if the committee was•not given permission than they would have to dissolve, but she said that was unlikely The aquatic' committee was 'formed, after town council rejected the original propsal cost of nearly $3.5 million, to look at ways of down sizing or phasing to reduce or defer costs. Since the committee was formed they have been trying to gater public opinion concering the centre. They had a booth at the Festival of Arts and Crafts where they distributed questiopnaires, asking what people think of the proposal, what the' think of phasing, if there was anything inissing.frorn centre and for any fundrais- • ing ideas. Feagan said they have not hada chance to tabulate the survey because they want more feedback and questionnaires are available at Marlin Harbour Light Travel on The Square. Jane Netzke, recreation department director, said the committee must have a firm proposal by the end of February, because any government funding will become available in March or early April. The government will want cost accoun- ting, plans and operating cost.estimates. "They (the government) 'will want the whole story," said Netzke. Feagan, however, is not sure how much money would be available. "Two years ago money was pouring out their ears," she said. According to Netzke, between 75-100 peo- ple responded to the survey and there was a positive response for an aquatic centre. • Most felt phasing was not a good idea and many said it is easier to get donations from people all at once, instead of in stages. Some felt the pool should he.larger and in- clude a gymnasium. These conunen ss were made/from residents of larger areas, said Netzke. Feagan was adament that people realize the original drawings were just a concept and the final plan may not look like the drawings. The drawings were commis- sioned to give Goderich residents a visual idea of what was planned. r Feagan said the committee does not know what money is available in the com- munity and won't until they have a chance to look at alternate plans. The proposed site of the centre is on the GDCI field directly west of the school. Negotia'ions wit,► t,be Board o€ Education will begin in September, said Netzke. `Our goal is to make the aquatic centre affordable and accessible to the general public," said Netzke.
