▪ Shaw Park Ice Rink improvements to include: o Construction of new facility o Endowment for operations After meeting with potential donors, CCF would now like to enter into an agreement with three firms (architect, landscape architect and recreation consultant) for enhanced concept planning services. The goal of this planning process is to arrive at a concept that inspires support from donors through enhanced design and programming and sustainable financials. This scope would include a review of all previous plans, site analysis, limited community engagement, establishment of review and peer committees, needs assessments, development of a physical space program, operations analysis, facility planning and financial modeling. The outcome of this study may result in additions to the anticipated programming and/or a redesign of the facility. This effort will be implemented over an 8-10 week period and would be funded by donations. This planning process would be complete prior to the start of the Parks Master Plan in January 2023 if it were to proceed. It would also require contributions of City of Clayton staff time for sharing existing information and participating in review meetings. If the Board of Aldermen concurs with this direction for the Commons project, staff recommends that the CCF project list be updated to specifically include enhanced planning of the subject area in addition to fundraising.

Chris Chivetta, Hastings & Chivetta, addressed (in-person) the Board to answer questions.
