The Community Center is closed this week, through Sunday, for annual maintenance procedures. The Splash leisure pool (the one with the slides) has closed for the season, but the lap pool will remain open through September 3rd (Mon-Fri, 6AM-6:15PM and Sat & Sun 10AM-6:15PM).
The Parks, Recreation, and Museum Advisory Board meets tonight at 7PM in the Fossil Trace club house. They will discuss the RFP for the Astor House, which is scheduled for review by City Council on September 20th. The plan is to release an open RFP for anyone to respond to, so the city can see what kind of ideas are out there–for business or municipal projects. The City Attorney has said that if the purpose of the building is to change dramatically (like if it was to become a commercial building), it would have to be put to a vote. They will also plan for a public meeting to be held on August 28th regarding the proposed Singletrack Sidewalks (STS) project through the southwest corner of town. This is a highly-disputed subject, as you’ll see in the Tell Us What You Think section on Guidinggolden.com.
