10. 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

11. 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

12. 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.
