Recreation Center Committee - May 19, 2026
The city's consultants say a 40,000 sq ft event center with a 30,000 sq ft convention hall is feasible, running a modest operating deficit covered by a hotel bed tax through an auditorium district. Sports tourism courts were ruled out because the Jae Foundation's private sports complex covers that need. Setting up the district would take elections and a year or two.
