Roosevelt Middle School Planning <br />In early 2004, the 4J School District began a public process of their own to look at <br />alternatives for rebuilding Roosevelt Middle School. This process was initiated based on <br />the need to replace or substantially rebuild the school in the next ten years, and the <br />desire to coordinate development plans between the school and park. Two public <br />meetings were held by 4J staff and the options for replacing the school were discussed. <br />Although there was no final decision made on the replacement location, the options <br />were narrowed to those which are on school district property, and will not directly <br />impact park land. See the appendix for potential building location diagrams. Following the <br />conclusion of the school district public process, the 3rd workshop for Amazon Park was <br />scheduled. <br />Workshop #3 <br />On May 25, 2004 the 3rd and final Amazon Park Planning Workshop was held at <br />Amazon Community Center. The event was an open house and tour of the park. <br />Approximately 50 individuals participated in the event. Two graphics were on display <br />in the community center; one showing the complete <br />concept design for the park, and the other showing the <br />priority improvements to be funded with the existing <br />bond measure dollars. <br />Four stations were set up in the park to provide <br />further information on the improvements which were <br />identified for funding. The stations were staffed by <br />Parks and Open Space Division and Recreation <br />Division staff, and a printed tour guide was provided.. <br />to participants. The four stations included; the dog <br />park, the new bridge crossing location, the renovated <br />ballfield and new path locations, and the new restroom <br />location.. <br />Workshop #3 open house. <br />Participants were also invited to fill out a questionnaire and place a flag in a location <br />where they desired a bench to be placed. At the end of the event, the locations were. <br />recorded. See the Workshop #3 Report in the appendix for a complete summary of the meeting, <br />tour guide, and results from a questionnaire distributed at the workshop. <br />Amazon Park Concept Design Page 10 February 15, 2005 <br />
