City Council Work Session and Regular Meeting

ClarkclerkOur next item is a discussion and update on the Willard Sherwood development. I'll recognize Brook Harden, Community Development and Planning Director for the staff presentation.

Brooke HardenstaffGood afternoon, Mayor and Council. Pleased to be with you today to present the Willard Sherwood Health and Community Center project. With me this afternoon are other city staff, Fairfax County staff, the project architects with Grimm and Parker, and the city's project management consultant with Blue Heron Leadership Group. There will be a few presenters who I will ask to introduce themselves as they begin speaking. We will go through each of the topics listed here on the agenda slide. We'll try to be brief leave time for questions if it's possible to save those to the end. To provide context to the project's location and how we arrived at a partnership with Fairfax County, we wanted to touch a bit on what led us there.

James Pattersonthe city is asked to act on one, do you approve moving forward with a project, and two do you want to move forward or not move forward with the performing arts options and brooke will talk about this in the final slide in terms of when that option will come back before the uh the city council and the next slide so this slide gets into the operating budget so the previous slide is looking at capital budget this is look at operating and you see at the top of the spreadsheet and this is broken into the green is the willard sherwood health and community center and then the reddish color is a performing arts option just to separate the cost out since that is an alternative so at the very top is a 54 930

Stacy SummerfieldstaffThank you, James. So looking at the operating costs for the building, just comparing it to Green Acres, now it's a significant expansion in services from our Green Acres facility, but in this proposal, Green Acres would close when the senior center and that programming moved over to the Willard Sherwood. So currently, Green Acres, we have 62 operating hours per week. Our staffing over there is $567,500 a year. That includes our senior center staffing, a percentage of our operations staffing, and our front desk staff. Now, those 62 hours don't include rental hours, so we sometimes go over that 62 for rental, and that is covered by temp staffing. At the Willard Sherwood, we are looking at a potential 96 operating hours per week, so a significant expansion,

but a lot of that is going out as well with the programming. Over at the Willard Sherwood, we see the biggest revenue driver potentials as different memberships that we would offer, the senior center, the fitness center, program revenue for fitness classes, youth programs, adult and senior programs, different programming that we have in the gym, as well as some rental revenue. Now we do have a lot of interest in the gym, so that would be around the city programming. The third floor classrooms, because once the senior center programming ends for the day, those classrooms would open up for rentals. And then the third floor patio, which is weather dependent. So a conservative annual revenue number we're looking at is around $600,000.

Stacy HallOkay, thank you. And that brings us to the 4.8, and I only ask this because you made a comment about how it was split 42-58. The costs that are reflected on page 39 for the Willard Sherwood Health Center, the 2.8 and the 2.1, those are the city portions of the cost. Correct. Correct? Okay.
