Dennis Maloney explained that the city currently owns the land and is now in the
process of developing a master plan for a city center. He spoke of the concept for a
new city center site with plans for a municipal building, community center and a
performing arts facility. Dennis expressed his ideas for the community center as a
facility for the community where all generations could meet and interact. The
facility could have meeting rooms for crafts, exercise, club meetings along with
weight room, gymnasium, rock climbing and a lap pool or therapeutic pool. He
spoke of designating times for certain age groups to use the facility and wings of
the facility designated for certain age groups. Mr. Maloney would like to see both
the municipal building and the community center built at the same time. He
estimated a time frame to be within five years. Mr. Maloney encouraged the
seniors to let the council know their feelings and what they support.
