A particular issue at the facility is its age. It is around 60 years old and for that reason alone a number of accessibility deficiencies were identified. Priorities identified include the need to upgrade the guardrails and handrails at the building; safety and signage upgrades addressing such items as fire alarms and fire exits; and elevator access to the second floor lounge which currently can only be accessed through the stairs. The latter item is considered a long-term item and would be a major capital investment. “It would greatly increase the usability of the facility,” said Pillipow. The audit was done to identify needs and a cost estimate for the items was not provided. City Manager Randy Patrick noted they would come back with pricing on the priority items, and put them into the capital plan over the next number of years.
