Charter Clubs hear $12.5M proposed CIP and projects affecting ARC, Stardust, courts and fields
Summary
Recreation staff presented a proposed capital improvement plan (CIP) that projects roughly $12.5 million in work across facilities; key items relevant to charter clubs include an ARC showroom addition (design pending), softball outfield-fence replacement, Stardust theater curtain replacement ($60,000), ARC roof work ($59,500) and a $305,000 platform tennis renovation.
Herschel, presenting for the recreation and facilities team, walked the Charter Clubs Committee through capital-improvement proposals and repair-and-replace items affecting club facilities. He described a proposed overall CIP of about $12,500,000, including roughly $1,300,000 for new capital projects, $2,300,000 for recreation R&R items and $8,500,000 for golf and landscaping R&R.
Key projects affecting charter clubs and shared facilities include:
- ARC building phase 3 showroom addition: originally budgeted at $960,000; design expected soon and staff will seek contractor quotes to firm up the estimate.
- Softball outfield fence and practice-area work: replace failing netting and the existing system (currently described as a 24-foot fence with an additional 6-foot net) with a new 30-foot fence system, new 8-inch posts and replacement of baseline fencing and practice-area turf.
- Stardust Theater curtain replacement: a $60,000 project to replace curtains not up to current fire code, eliminating recurring $12,000 fire-retardant treatments every three years; project framed as having a 10–15 year return on investment.
- ARC roof restoration and epoxy-floor rehabilitation: a $59,500 roof resurfacing to extend warranty 10 years and epoxy-floor grinding and concrete finishing to reduce future coating costs.
- Platform tennis renovation: proposed at $305,000 to add post-tension slabs, new fencing, LED lighting upgrades and site work to address safety concerns; Herschel said some courts are closed presently.
Herschel noted planning-only funding for Lapidary Club design and emphasized that some projects over $50,000 would return for more detailed presentations and cost updates. Committee members asked for clarifications: Nancy asked where the showroom would sit (Herschel said it would replace an existing shade structure attached to the front of the ARC building), and others raised questions about red-ball tennis compatibility with platform tennis courts (Herschel said courts can be multi-use). An online question from Lynn Kellis asked whether $30,000 had been earmarked for the Clay Club renovation; speakers said that item is under review in master planning, with references to both $30,000 (question) and $50,000 (Cliff) in the discussion and no current CR form submitted this year.
Herschel said staff will return with more precise cost estimates once designs are received and contract quotes obtained.
