Council Report

Subject: Update of the Forest Theater Renovation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On October 21, 2014, City Council received an update on the Forest Theater by Chris Wasney of Cody Anderson Wasney Architects. The update included an assessment of the facilities, its current deficiencies, and the proposed schematic scope of work to address the deficiencies. Council requested the architect to explore other options pertaining to accessible seating and path of travel. In addition, Council requested the architect continue to explore the concept of the boardwalk as an accessible path of travel; the feasibility of reducing stairs to access seating; the use of handrails for aisle seating and adding more curvature to the proposed accessible parking and driveway. The purpose of this agenda item is to receive an update from Cody Anderson Wasney Architects regarding these possible design changes and then consider authorizing the project to move forward for preparation of construction documents, permits and bidding in order to reopen the facility by June 2015.
