Proposal
GARY ROBERTS AND TRAVIS PALMER
Why?
Kids who participate in youth sports/activities
Healthier adults
Higher academic achievement
Better employees
More likely to attend college
Less likely to be sexually active as teens, use drugs, suffer from depression
Less likely to commit crimes in the community
Benefit to the Community
Increased revenue for current businesses
Attraction for new business opportunities (hotels, restaurants, retail, etc.)
Community more attractive to new residence
Brings community pride (similar to the new high school)
Another Big Reason
New Harrison will effect current use
of facilities and community groups
South Valley youth and adult
Pop Warner
Club Soccer
H.S. Softball
Idea
Multi Sport Turf Facility
Soccer fields
Football fields
Fast pitch softball/little league fields
H.S. sized baseball field
Fitness Complex
Pool (Possible)
Field(s) include
Turf
Lights
Scoreboards
Seating
Bathrooms
Concession
Baseball
Inclement weather proof facility on campus
Only H.S. facility between Medford and Portland with turf
Rental income
Spring and Summer Tournaments can be held
Outfield can be used in fall for soccer/football practice and games (youth level)
Softball
Removes program from new Harrison elementary grounds
Benefits
Improves safety for elementary and commuting high school kids
Provides 2 fields for playing Varsity and J.V. on same site
Also provides rental and tournament opportunities
Soccer
2-3 turfed soccer fields with scoreboards (Not counting White Stadium)
SVA youth and adult leagues can play
Host youth tourneys on 3-4 field
Benefits (Cont.)
Football
Extra turf facility when stadium is used
Ability to host Pop Warner and 7 on 7 events on 3-4 fields
SVA softball/Little League
2 possible fields (maybe 3 with baseball facility)
Host Tournaments
Handle inclement weather
Pool (If we choose to construct a new pool)
Puts CGHS programs back on campus
Great parking
Other sports and activities
Lacrosse
City events
Fitness Center
Reason
Gym does not have a classroom or meeting space for inter-gender sports
(Track, Swim, CC, Wrestling, Cheer)
Idea
Convert current fitness center into multi-purpose room
Build a 3500-5000 square foot fitness center south of the auxiliary gym
Benefit
Classroom
Provides supervision of women’s locker room
Meeting space for events and community groups
Provides a better physical education learning environment for students and
teachers
Better security for gym building
Economic Effect
School District
Rental fees between $5000-$20,000 a year for turf fields from non community groups
Tournaments
OSAA Playoffs
Sponsorship Opportunities
Kendall: $10,000-$15,000 per scoreboard
Tournament concessions will help fund programs
Community
Brings $2.5-$4 million per year in visitor revenue
Based on study by James Madison University
Average family spends $705 at a multi day event
Travel sports (soccer, softball, baseball, etc.)
Increased foot traffic downtown
Community business owners make more so they spend more
Expect projected 18% yearly growth in event participation from ages 4-24
Project Cost (Not Counting Pool)
Figures are approximate & on the high side
Turf Field Excavation and Installation: $3.5 million
With Community Sports Grant: $1.25 million (Savings of $2.25 million)
Renovation of fitness center into classroom: $50,000
Fitness Center: $800,000
Scoreboard $60,000
Lights: $400,000
Restrooms: $75,000
Concessions: $50,000
Total Estimated Costs: $5 Million ($2.75 million with the Comm. Sports Grant)
Possible Issues
Pool construction costs
Replacement costs for turf
Renovate vs. Build
Considerable less than installation
Facility Fees
Possible Cell Tower/partnerships
Corporate Sponsor
Partner with city
Youth Sports grants
Selling this portion of the bond to the community
Not a “sport’s complex”
Needed replacement and upgrades to facilities
At a once in a lifetime cost
CMH Field in Astoria
Opened in Fall 2014
Cost: $7.5 Million
Where we can save
No Methane cap ($1.5 million)
Less excavation
No grandstand
No locker rooms
No Power infrastructure
Considerably less pavement needs
Madison Sports Complex (New Jersey)
Opened in 2011
Cost: $3.75-$4.5 Million
Baseball, Softball, Football, Soccer
Rental Fee for Non Residents: $125
per hour
Rental Fee for Residents: $25 Per
Game
Conclusion
If we add this to the bond
Strengthen local support for the
bond
Continuing to be ahead of the
curve in terms of facilities
Increasing ability to attract outside
events and people
Provide much needed facilities to
youth, high school and adult
organizations
Expanding hours of operation and
terms of use (weather)
Positive impact to economy,
community pride, community
attractiveness
Strengthen our image as the best
community to live, work and play
If we do not add to the
bond
Loss of opportunity for 25-30 years
Loss valuable field space for
youth, high school, and adult
leagues
Diminished capacity to host
outside events
Continue to keep high school
spring sports off site
No positive impact to local
business economy
Less productive youth
opportunities
