The Town Council gave approval for the initial contracts for the planned renovations to the Fountain Hills Community Center, which are to take place over the upcoming summer months.
Along with the approval, it was noted that the Community Center will be closed from July 1 through Labor Day to accommodate the work.
The Community Center was built in 2001 and, due to age and wear over the past 20 years, the interior of the building needs an extensive cosmetic updating and renovation, according to staff.
Council gave its unanimous approval to the contracts for restroom remodeling, flooring and painting.
An agreement with Continental Flooring is for $263,000 and covers the purchase and installation of new carpeting and tile.
At its March 2 regular session, the Town Council voted to approve $49,000 for a warrant study to determine potential need for a future traffic signal at the intersection of Palisades Blvd. and Palomino Blvd./Eagle Ridge Drive in Fountain Hills.
A professional services agreement would have Kimley-Horn and Associates, engineering consultants, perform the study.
The council heard this proposal in November 2020 but rejected it. Public Works Director Justin Weldy apologized to the council for poorly presenting the proposal last fall.
âI never intended to provide confusing or misleading information,â Weldy said.
The study is the first step in planning for outlying years, according to Weldy. He said, based on traffic study information performed in connection with the Adero-Scottsdale Resort located on Eagle Ridge Drive and the proposed Daybreak Apartment complex on Palisades near Shea, there are indications that the intersection will meet warrants for a signal.
