Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• Town Council approval by Resolution is required for execution of construction contracts over $100,000.
• This phase of work will expand the existing maintenance building on-site.
• A second phase is planned for 2026 which includes an additional maintenance and storage building on-site.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Expansion of the maintenance facilities at the Erie Community Park is long overdue, and the current infrastructure no longer supports operational demands. The existing maintenance building lacks sufficient space required for ballfield maintenance equipment and daily workflows. After the conversion of the LAWSC storage building into offices, the Recreation Division lost dedicated storage and no longer has adequate space for equipment used for special events and sports. As a result, Recreation rents off-site storage, creating unnecessary costs, inefficiencies, and reliance on temporary rental pods to meet basic needs.
The maintenance building expansion project represents the first phase of a two-phase solution designed to correct these deficiencies. Phase one expands the existing maintenance building to address immediate space and operational requirements. Phase two, funded in the 2026 budget, will add a new maintenance and storage building on the site to support long-term growth.
Together, these improvements establish dedicated, right-sized maintenance and storage facilities for both park maintenance and recreation workgroups, eliminating off-site storage expenses and reducing travel time to retrieve essential equipment.
