PRESENTATION ON SOUTH DAVIS RECREATION CENTER BY BRENT TIPPETTS, V.C.B.O. AND NEAL JENKINS, BOUNTIFUL CITY PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
Neal Jenkins and Brent Tippets gave the Council a presentation on the new South Davis Recreation Center. Mr. Tippets explained how the new building will be constructed in relation to the surrounding buildings (i.e., Bountiful Jr. High, the Armory and existing recreation center). The design and location of the new recreation center will allow the surrounding buildings to be affected as little as possible during the construction phase. The existing recreation center will remain open during the construction of the new facility and then be torn down to allow for the construction of the parking lot for the new recreation center. The Council also viewed site and elevation plans for the recreation center. Mr. Tippets showed floor and space plans for the recreation center, which included common areas, an Olympic-size ice rink, indoor/outdoor pool areas, a regulation basketball gymnasium, rock climbing wall, exercise/aerobic areas and jogging track, as well as child care facilities, meeting and party rooms. Mr. Tippets responded to questions from the Council regarding access into and around the facility, parking and pool equipment. Neal Jenkins, Bountiful City Parks and Recreation Director, stated that this project is scheduled to be completed by November 2006 and could begin as early as April 2005. Mr. Jenkins explained the Davis County School District is meeting to consider the construction of a new gymnasium where the Armory is currently located. If the School District decides to move forward with the project, this facility would be able to be used by the cities for recreation events when not in use by the school.
DISCUSS TRANSFERENCE OF MUSEUM COLLECTIONS OWNERSHIP FROM CENTERVILLE HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO CENTERVILLE CITY
Steve Thacker, City Manager, stated that in his discussions with Clara Goudy, President of the Centerville Historical Society and former director of the Whitaker Museum, she is recommending to transfer ownership of the museum collections from the Historical Society to Centerville City. Lisa Romney, Deputy City Attorney, has reviewed the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of the Historical Society, including provisions related to this issue. Ms. Romney concluded that the museum collections may be transferred to the City if approved by the Historical Society Board of Directors. If the Council agrees to accept such a transfer, an agreement would need to be drafted with the terms and conditions for the Historical Society Board to review and approve. Ms. Goudy and Melissa Hogan, Whitaker Museum Director, have expressed their support for transfer of ownership.
Councilwoman Randall made a motion to direct staff to prepare an agreement for the Council to consider regarding the transfer of ownership of the Whitaker Museum collection from the Centerville Historical Society to Centerville City. The motion was seconded by Councilman Layton and passed by unanimous roll-call vote (5-0).
DISCUSS SOLID WASTE COLLECTION CONTRACT EXTENSION PROPOSAL
Blaine Lutz, Finance Director, reviewed ACE Disposal’s proposal to renew their contract for two additional years, with a base fee $.17 increase for the primary can and $.08 increase for additional cans. This proposal, with the increases, is still very competitive with bids the City received in 2003 from three other solid waste collection companies. The City has been very pleased with the service provided by ACE Disposal. Richard Hammock, ACE Disposal, was present to respond to questions from the Council regarding recycling options, rate increases, etc.
Councilman Cutler made a motion to direct staff to draft a contract between Centerville City and ACE Disposal for solid waste collections services and to research the possibility of offering a recycling service and/or green waste disposal options. The motion was seconded by Councilman Layton and passed by unanimous vote (5-0).
CONSIDER ACCEPTANCE OF DONATION OF CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS FROM ROBERT MARQUARDT
Bruce Cox, Parks and Cemetery Supervisor, explained that Bob Marquardt, Founder of Management and Training Corporation, has offered to donate to the City a very large collection of Christmas lights, which have been displayed at Marquardt’s home over the last several years. Mr. Cox presented the Council with an estimate of cost for the storage, set up/take down, power supply and maintenance of the donated equipment. The Council discussed possible areas in the city to display the lights as well as maintenance issues involved with the collection. The Council agreed that they would like to accept the gift from Mr. Marquardt if it were given through the Centerville Community Foundation and if Mr. Marquardt would agree that the collection could be split up and displayed in more than one location in the city and the City would not be required to maintain them indefinitely.
Councilman Dellastatious made a motion to accept the gift through the Centerville Community Foundation, subject to that Board’s review and approval. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gutke and passed by a 4-1 vote with Councilman Cutler voting in opposition.

DISCUSS BRICK PAVER FUNDRAISER FOR PARKS IMPROVEMENTS
Blaine Lutz, Finance Director, reported to the Council regarding the costs involved with a brick paver project for Founders Park. The Council discussed allowing citizens to purchase engraved brick pavers to be used in Founders Park as a fund raiser through the Centerville Community Foundation to help purchase play equipment for the park. Mr. Lutz has spoken to several businesses that sell the pavers and provide the engraving. In his research Mr. Lutz found that there is a local business that provides the pavers and will engrave them for a competitive cost compared to other competitors. The contractor needs an answer from the Council regarding whether the Council intends to do the paver project because they are moving quickly and the pavers will need to be installed very soon.
Councilman Dellastatious made a motion to direct the Centerville Community Foundation to implement the brick paver project to raise funds for playground equipment at Founders Park and to report back to the Council regarding pricing. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Randall and passed by unanimous vote (5-0).
