Regional Wellness Center Bob Grems and Bob Jensen (RWC Board) presented information on the new Aquatic Center and the discussion surrounding the possible location at the 5.49 Acres of green space located across from Iowa Lakes Community College, north of the Christensen building and south of Your RWC, currently owned by the School District. The RWC board presented their stance as in full support of transferring the green space to the City of Estherville for the Aquatic Center and brought it to the board for their endorsement to take this support and publicly share it, on behalf of the School Board, to the Park and Recreation Board and the Estherville City Council. Bob Grems and Bob Jensen pointed out the positives, as developed by the RWC board, of having the Aquatic Center located in the green space , some of them presented were: Fiscally responsible -construction costs will be less(much of the infrastructure, parking already in place), possibility of shared operating cost with a longer operating season. Visibility – with the amount of visitors to the college, RWC, Rodeo, Fair, softball/baseball fields, it is much more visible to community members and visitors.
Motion by Schnell, second by Regelstad to endorse the RWC Board to continue to explore the future Aquatic Center to be located on the 5.49 acres of green space with the Park and Recreation Board and the City of Estherville. Motion carried 4-0.
