Over the year's Phillips Center's activityroom has evolvedi intoaf full weight room for patrons 16 years and older. Equipmenti is expensive top purchase andi maintain, and with other funding priorities, the room and equipment has become antiquated and not tot the desired standard for our recreation facilities. Staff estimates that $50K-$75K would be needed to upgrade the facility toad desireds standard. This high amount to upgrade along with the factt that alll highs schools have weight rooms available to students and very economical commercial fitness centers are available to all citizens, has staff looking to phase out the weight room over a period of time and convert the space back to a multi-purpose activity room. Staff feels strongly this multi-purpose space will greatly improve the total programming at Phillips Center andl betters servet the overall good ofthe community. The costs to convert the room would be minimal and funds required arei int the existing departmental  Phillips Center facilities and the utilization ofs specific areas called toj postar notice welli in  maintenance budget.
