He stipulated <br />they would not be assigned, but available for multiple uses. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman asked if the sauna would be included. Mayor Adams said it was <br />under consideration and he agrees with the administration side, but raised the <br />issue of hygiene factors and indicated they may affect the final decision about the <br />sauna and whirlpool. He further noted that saunas are not good for people with <br />some health problems. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said voters were promised high-level accessibility and high-level <br />security, both indoors and outdoors, and that both of these issues need to be <br />considered in plans. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said the group had reach consensus, if not unanimity. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch promised to continue expressing opinions, but she does not agree <br />with the consensus because she believes there should be a master plan first. <br /> <br />Some discussion followed about the nature and application of the St. Louis <br />County Park Grants. Mr. Sharpe asked if the Soccer Dome improvements could <br />be added to an existing grant, and Mayor Adams endorsed doing this on an on- <br />going basis, with these plans and with other facilities as the new master plan is <br />created. Mr. Sharp asked about the grant timeline and was advised by Mr. <br />Ollendorff that due dates fall in September or October, with notification of award <br />in January. He wondered if additional requests would diminish chances of being <br />awarded a grant, and was assured by Mr. Ollendorff that it would not. Mayor <br />Adams reminded members to observe the exact rules when preparing grants, <br />and asked about the frequency of grant cycles. Mr. Ollendorff responded there <br />are two this year, but only one next year, and Mr. feels there is a good chance of <br />receiving grant money for the soccer improvements. <br /> <br />Page 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
