fitness and aerobics area, gymnasium, and core facilities at
a total cost estimated at $10.9 million.

will be explored to fund the remaining $1. 7 million, including
operational partnerships with area health care providers or
wellness programs with local businesses. In the interim,
Council has approved in concept the dedication of $100,000 to

. portion of the capital costs for the facility via the user
fees, to the extent that revenues exceed direct operating
costs.
