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.
