Sports Complex ProposalGARY ROBERTS AND TRAVIS PALMER

Why? Kids who participate in youth sports/activities

Healthier adults

Higher academic achievement

Better employees

More likely to attend college

Less likely to be sexually active as teens, use drugs, suffer from depression

Less likely to commit crimes in the community

Benefit to the Community Increased revenue for current businesses

Attraction for new business opportunities (hotels, restaurants, retail, etc.)

Community more attractive to new residence

Brings community pride (similar to the new high school)

Outfield can be used in fall for soccer/football practice and games (youth level)

Softball Removes program from new Harrison elementary grounds

Improves safety for elementary and commuting high school kids

Provides 2 fields for playing Varsity and J.V. on same site

Also provides rental and tournament opportunities

Soccer 2-3 turfed soccer fields with scoreboards (Not counting White Stadium)

SVA youth and adult leagues can play

SVA softball/Little League 2 possible fields (maybe 3 with baseball facility)

Host Tournaments

Pool (If we choose to construct a new pool) Puts CGHS programs back on campus

Great parking

Other sports and activities Lacrosse

City events

Fitness Center

Reason Gym does not have a classroom or meeting space for inter-gender sports (Track,

Swim, CC, Wrestling, Cheer)

Idea Convert current fitness center into multi-purpose room

Build a 3500-5000 square foot fitness center south of the auxiliary gym

Benefit Classroom

Provides supervision of women’s locker room

Meeting space for events and community groups

Provides a better physical education learning environment for students and teachers

Better security for gym building

Economic Effect

School District Rental fees between $5000-$20,000 a year for turf fields from non community groups

Tournaments

OSAA Playoffs

Sponsorship Opportunities Kendall: $10,000-$15,000 per scoreboard

Tournament concessions will help fund programs

Community Brings $2.5-$4 million per year in visitor revenue

Based on study by James Madison University

Average family spends $705 at a multi day event Travel sports (soccer, softball, baseball, etc.)

Increased foot traffic downtown

Community business owners make more so they spend more

Expect projected 18% yearly growth in event participation from ages 4-24

Project Cost (Not Counting Pool) Figures are approximate & on the high side

Turf Field Excavation and Installation: $3.5 million With Community Sports Grant: $1.25 million (Savings of $2.25 million)

Renovation of fitness center into classroom: $50,000

Fitness Center: $800,000

Scoreboard $60,000

Lights: $400,000

Restrooms: $75,000

Concessions: $50,000

Total Estimated Costs: $5 Million ($2.75 million with the Comm. Sports Grant)

Possible Issues

Pool construction costs Renovate vs. Build

Replacement costs for turf Considerable less than installation

Facility Fees

Possible Cell Tower/partnerships

Corporate Sponsor

Partner with city

Youth Sports grants

Selling this portion of the bond to the community Not a “sport’s complex”

Needed replacement and upgrades to facilities

At a once in a lifetime cost

CMH Field in Astoria

Opened in Fall 2014 Cost: $7.5 Million

Where we can save

No Methane cap ($1.5 million)

Less excavation

No grandstand

No locker rooms

No Power infrastructure

Considerably less pavement needs

Madison Sports Complex (New Jersey)

Opened in 2011 Cost: $3.75-$4.5 Million

Baseball, Softball, Football, Soccer

Rental Fee for Non Residents: $125 per hour

Rental Fee for Residents: $25 Per Game

ConclusionIf we add this to the bond

Strengthen local support for the bond

Continuing to be ahead of the curve in terms of facilities

Increasing ability to attract outside events and people

Provide much needed facilities to youth, high school and adult organizations

Expanding hours of operation and terms of use (weather)

Positive impact to economy, community pride, community attractiveness

Strengthen our image as the best community to live, work and play

If we do not add to the bond Loss of opportunity for 25-30

years

Loss valuable field space for youth, high school, and adult leagues

Diminished capacity to host outside events

Continue to keep high school spring sports off site

No positive impact to local business economy

Less productive youth opportunities
