GRANDVIEW FACILITY OPERATIONS& FEASIBILITY STUDY
Director Kattreh introduced the consultant team and asked Mr. Pechaty to lead the presentation of the
report. Mr. Pechaty presented the results of the study outlining a draft space program with a set of core
facility components and another set of enhanced facility components. The team presented their findings to
date, along with potential facility programs and associated capital and operating budget implications. The
Council was able to ask questions of the consultants and staff about the various components and costs.
Following the presentation the Council indicated their hesitancy to move forward on an enhanced center with
the large capital expenditure. Council indicated they would need to likely go to a referendum for such a
facility before a final decision could be made. They directed staff to proceed to study Option B, Core facility
plus event venue and bring the study results to the Council.
