VIII. OLD BUSINESS
• WELCH POOL RENEWAL
LAND LEASE: On the advice of the Authority Solicitor Terry Williams, it was
necessary to re-execute the land lease from SCASD to incorporate corrected insurance
coverage text requested by the District. The agreement will now be recorded at the
courthouse. For the record, Mr. Williams letter and the revised page are attached. (Attachment # 6A & 6B)
MASTER SITE PLAN: Now that the land lease has officially been approved by PA
DCNR, the Authority will be asked to act upon proposals for consultant services from
Counsilman-Hunsaker and HP Architects for this planning project. Those proposals,
based upon a Scope of Work developed by staff and approved by PA DCNR, are due
back by 10 Jun 07 and will be provided for Authority action at this meeting. It is noted
that a PA DCNR grant of $33,000 will be used to assist this project. (Available at meeting) (Action)
• PARK FOREST POOL RENEWAL: The consultants have also been asked to submit
proposals for architectural & engineering services for the construction project based
upon the approved Master Site Plan from 2006. The renewal schedule calls for
construction bids to be solicited in early-2008 and the actual construction to begin in
early-August 2008, pending approval by the participating municipalities. The costs for
these services may be applied to the PA DCNR grant of $350,000 for the entire
construction project. It is expected that the consultant proposals will be presented at
the July Authority meeting, and that the necessary planning meetings could then be
held while the Welch Pool Master Site Plan is being developed.
