Good morning, everyone. Thank you for getting together so early today to review the design’s proposal for renovating our old community center. As city council members, you may notice that the center has never been refurbished since it was built 3 decades ago. A number of citizens have complained about its outdated facilities and insufficient parking space. However, it is still worth keeping its beautiful gardens and walking paths surrounding the main building because they allow visitors to enjoy fresh air and to relax outdoors. Last week, the municipal assembly has come to an agreement to preserve gardens and paths. But we propose adding more convenient and modern features like an escalator and a gym. Jim Douglas, our senior architect who is responsible for our new project is here with us today. He’ll give you more details about the plan at the end of the meeting.
