It was explained <br />that if the architect's fourth alternative, a permanent structure, <br />~ti~as selected then construction would have to start on June 1, Because <br />a*,aGrds •`n ~che Long Lake site will no~c be releaseu until Juiy ~r F,ugusi~,, <br />it would not be known what monies would be available for the building <br />at the time construction was began. Mr. Gunderman stated that he felt <br />it would be best to attempt development of a permanent structure for <br />aesthetic reasons. Mr. Sherlock concurred stating that money would <br />likely be available when it was needed. <br />It was explained that utilities would not be a major problem for a <br />permanent structure as service could be installed to the lst phase core <br />shelter under consideration with expansion added as the building was <br />completed. <br />Mr. Moen asked that Mr. Wicklund undertake a study to determine what <br />function the lst phase building should serve. <br />Mr. Rolland Hokanson, from the 7th Street Park Association, read a <br />statement from the group requesting that a temporary structure not <br />be constructed on the park and if the Lake Region Hockey Association <br />required such a structure then a hockey program be deferred at 7th <br />Street until such time a permanent structure is built. Mr. Moen <br />expressed the feeling that the Board's philosophy was similar to that <br />of the Association. <br />Motion by Weissman, seconded by Dahl to recommend to the Council that <br />Mr. Dickey, the architect, be consulted for designs on a permanent <br />1st phase structure with considerations for addition in the future. <br />
