Commissioner Greg Brotherton called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. 2. Greg discussed the agenda and there were no changes. He started the meeting by asking people to introduce themselves and share an icebreaker question. 3. Maclean Sprung and Lynn Douglas gave a presentation about Sprung which included the following: • Discussion about Boise. The conventional construction method was too expensive for their community so they turned to Sprung for a solution. • They showed a video and featured a facility from Kearns, Idaho. • The areas that came up in the pre-questionnaire were lifecycle, cost savings, maintenance, and environmental impact. • The skin is under warranty for 25 years, but would likely last 30-35 years. There is no other roofing or painting required. To reskin, the cost is approximately $815,000 with the current situation. • They don’t know a precise cost savings but between Sprung and conventional construction it could be significantly less. • The substructure is aluminum with no maintenance Page | 2 • There is very little waste • They offer a contractor’s guide • A Sprung technical consultant is onsite the whole time of construction. • They offer membrane options • Graffiti or rips can be repaired • Using JT2 as a contractor, they quoted a ROM of $4,465,105 not including the pools. The Sprung structure is approx. 2M, so total of $6.5M not including pools. • Boise total was $19M. The build was 2021-2023 • Sprung Structure is offering a fixed price, with no escalation. The same offer with Myrtha pools. 4. Amenities: We skipped this discussion due to time. 5. Commissioner Brotherton shared a spreadsheet with revenues and expenses. Revenues ranged from $2M-17M. He discussed the pros and cons of a PFD, MPD, and a Parks and Recreation Service Area, noting that the PFD might be the best tool for funding. Commissioner Brotherton also shared a population map that showed 12-minute drive times, and the population was denser in the mid-County. The preferred location would be Chimacum Park. Commissioner Brotherton will wait to talk to South Whidbey, but may reach out either to a septic or pool expert. 6. Commissioner Brotherton announced that everyone traveling to Boise has their flights and hotel rooms booked. 7. The Assistant Public Works Director contacted WSDOT’s development review group to discuss the access requirements of the aqua�c center site at Chimacum Park. Below is a summary: • Confirmed that a Traffic Impact Analysis and an Intersec�on Control Evalua�on would need to be performed by a qualified traffic engineering firm (there are several good ones who are familiar with working with WSDOT). • WSDOT preference for consolidated access directly across from HJ entrance • Signal unlikely to be approved • A small roundabout (what they call a compact roundabout) could work and the costs for these are typically much lower than the $5M price of the SR-104 roundabouts. Lower speed, flat terrain, (County owns the property on both sides of the road) all helps to keep costs down. A budget allowance of $2M might be more appropriate at this site. • Pedestrian over/under crossing very expensive – not new informa�on. Hard to get ADA grades to work. Security issues poten�ally with under crossings. An “at grade” crossing with appropriate warning beacons is probably a more realis�c (and much more affordable) solu�on – although nothing beats a grade separated crossing for safety. 8. Commissioner Brotherton adjourned the meeting at 8:10 p.m.
