CITY OF BOULDER
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2012
AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of the Parks and Recreation Department's Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan
PRESENTERS:
Kirk Kincannon, CPRP, Director, Parks and Recreation
Alice Guthrie, Recreation Superintendent
Jeff Dillon, Parks and Planning Superintendent
Abbie Poniatowski, Senior Business Manager
Jeff Haley, Planning Manager
Colleen Fitzgerald, Recreation Administrator- Access and Inclusion
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The intent of this agenda item is to present the transition plan recently developed by staff
and consultants to guide the department in meeting compliance with revised Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards pertaining to Parks and Recreation facilities.
The City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department welcomes every individual to
participate and enjoy programs and facilities regardless of race, color, disability, religion,
national origin, pregnancy, age, military status, gender, gender identity, gender variance,
or sexual orientation. Staff is committed to supporting people with disabilities in all
facets of parks and recreation. Facilities are designed to meet, and often exceed, the
standards set by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Guidelines for Accessibility. Children,
youth and adults with disabilities are welcomed to participate inclusively in general
recreation programs alongside their peers without disabilities and specialized classes are
provided specifically for persons with a disability. The department is a nationally
recognized leader in providing inclusion and therapeutic recreation.
In September 2010, the U.S. DOJ issued the final ruling for accessibility for all Parks and
Recreation departments covered under Title II of the ADA. The City of Boulder Parks
and Recreation Department is a Title II entity, therefore, is required to complete a
thorough assessment of parks, facilities, policies and procedures for compliance with the
new guidelines. A team of parks and recreation staff began working on the assessment
in April of 2011 and completed the park and facility evaluations, and reports indicating
the current level of accessibility earlier this year.
AGENDA ITEM # VI-B PAGE-1-
The first step to ADA compliance as mandated by the DOJ ruling, is to complete a
transition plan indicating: compliance deficiencies within parks and facilities, solutions
for resolving the deficiencies, financial implications of attaining compliance and
responsibility for implementation of the plan. The plan will guide the department in
prioritizing which parks and facilities will be fully accessible by 2015 and meet the newly
revised compliance guidelines. The plan will also assist the department in reviewing
internal and external communication and review all policies and procedures pertaining to
people with disabilities.
BACKGROUND:
Federal Mandate
The final rule revises the regulation of the DOJ that implements Title II of the ADA,
relating to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability, in state and local government
services. The DOJ is issuing this final rule in order to adopt enforceable accessibility
standards under the ADA that are consistent with the minimum guidelines and
requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board
(Access Board). The new standards require that recreational facilities, not covered in the
original 1991 Americans with Disabilities Act, be accessible to users with disabilities.
March 15, 2012 is the date designated by DOJ as the compliance date where all entities
covered by Title II and Title III must begin using the new (2010) accessibility standards.
Beginning March 15, 2012, all new construction and alterations to existing facilities
should begin utilizing the new standards. The department's transition plan is a response
plan to the new standards, illustrating the deficiencies within our system, and identifying
a plan to address them on an aggressive schedule. Facilities included in the revised
standards follow:
• Event seating
Exercise machines and equipment
• Fishing piers and platforms
Golf facilities
• Means of transportation for disabled people
Play areas
Recreational boating facilities
Service animals
• Swimming pools, wading pools and spas
Gathering Data
The department created an accessibility team of 15 staff members from various work
groups within the department to collaborate with consultants in gathering background
data for the plan. Recreation Accessibility Consultants, Inc. (RAC) was hired to
AGENDA ITEM # VI-13- PAGE 2
complete two "Train the Trainer" one-week sessions in which members of the
accessibility team were taught how to conduct park and facility audits in an efficient way
to capture the access deficiencies for every park and facility. Twenty parks were
assessed in September, 2011 and 11 facilities were assessed in October, 2011 with the
consultants. In teams of three, the accessibility team completed checklists for the
remaining 48 parks, 10 facilities and employee work stations. It is important to note that a
park or recreation facility audit can take dozens of hours to complete.
By April of 2012 staff had completed audits of all parks and facilities within the
department with the exception of the Boulder Reservoir which has been included in the
scope of the current site management planning process for the Reservoir.
Developing the Plan
Once all the audits were complete and each park and facility was summarized into
reports, the team began the development of the transition plan. Based on
recommendations from the consultant, the department's transition plan is separated into
three categories; Parks Transition Plan (Attachment A), Facilities Transition Plan
(Attachment B) and Transition Plan Project (Attachment C) In order to determine
parks and facilities that will be prioritized for compliance within the plan, the
accessibility team used the following rationale and methodology:
• Geographic Distribution - providing equity in access to all areas of the
community
• Park Classification and Amenities - equity in city/community parks,
neighborhood parks, pocket park/urban plazas and associated amenities within
those parks.
• Current and Projected Funding - reviewing current and projected capital projects
that are funded through the department's capital funds.
• Stand Alone vs. Like Facilities - understanding the programmed use of facilities.
To respond to the geographic distribution, the accessibility team performed a mapping
exercise that divided the city into three regions and plotted all recreation facilities and
parks within the regions to determine levels of service and access to the community.
Parks and facilities were then mapped within the three regions according to the
classification and amenities provided. The accessibility team created a plan to assure that
each region had sufficient accessible pocket, neighborhood and community parks.
During the mapping exercise an overlay of funded capital projects was used to highlight
the parks and facilities that are programmed for renovation or new development to
illustrate upcoming opportunities for compliance within existing facilities. Similarly,
another overlay of the mapping allowed the team to determine facilities that provide
duplicate services throughout the community versus the facilities that are the sole
provider of a program or activity. Once parks and facilities were chosen, using the
methodology, the team created a database listing the parks, facilities that need
improvements to meet compliance. Concurrently, the accessibility team began compiling
department policies and procedures as they pertain to accessibility, to create the Parks
and Recreation Department's Accessibility Guidelines. These guidelines are an internal
document that will be used as a staff training tool and depository for all information
referring to the ADA standards and guidelines.
AGENDA ITEM # VI-13_ PAGE 3
Public Process
After an initial draft plan was developed, the team hosted focus group presentations in
August and September, 2012 to engage specific input. These focus groups included:
representatives from various departments (City Attorney's Office, Risk Manager,
Facilities and Asset Management, and Open Space/Mountain Parks), the Center for
People with Disabilities, EXPAND Program constituents and department managers.
Additionally, the team facilitated a city-wide open house for the community to review the
plan and provide input on Wednesday, September 19, 2012, at the East Boulder
Community Center. A comprehensive visual display of the full transition plan process
and proposed plan was provided to attendees.
ANALYSIS:
Social
The department places a high priority on providing access to parks and recreation
facilities and programs to all members of the community. Increasingly, the department
considers providing accessibility through universal design that accommodates multiple
special needs that many residents might identify. The national demographics of people
with disabilities can be startling: 54.4 million Americans reported some level of disability
in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, with 38 million with severe disabilities.
Additionally, these numbers don't include many senior citizens who are part of the aging
population trend that, despite diminished mobility, refuse to count themselves as having a
disability. The department's transition meets federal standards and outlines the priority
and schedule necessary to continue meeting the needs of the community.
Fiscal
The department will implement the recommended compliance measures within the
transition plan through capital funding of the department's annual CIP and the approved
Capital Improvement Bond funds allocated to the department in 2011.
NEXT STEPS:
1. Plan Implementation by Accessibility Team
o Continue implementation of transition plan through park and facility
renovation and development
o Monitor and report on transition plan as projects are completed and goals
met
o Integrate the transition plan with other planning efforts such as the
department's master plan, asset management plan and strategic plans
o Coordination of facility upgrades with other city departments including
FAM and Public Works
o Determine specific next steps as they pertain to policy and procedural
changes necessary to become fully compliant (i.e. adopting a department
policy for service animals and mobility devices.)
AGENDA ITEM # VI-13_ PAGE 4
2. Continue Public Outreach
o Enhance Parks and Recreation Department website with updated
information
o Train staff to address improvement such as internal and external website
communication, public communication, customer service when serving
people with disabilities etc.

CITY OF BOULDER
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2012
AGENDA TITLE: Presentation by the Pottery Lab Working Group of the
Recommendations for the Future of the Pottery Lab Program
PRESENTERS:
Kirk W. Kincannon, CPRP, Director of Parks and Recreation
Alice Guthrie, Recreation Superintendent
Teri Olander, Recreation Administrator
Tim Downing, Pottery Lab Working Group Member
BACKGROUND
Over the past 50 years, Boulder Parks and Recreation Department's Pottery Lab program
has been a community program that receives a large operating subsidy. In an effort to
grow the participation of the pottery program to a broader segment within our community
and to address cost-recovery issues, the department contracted with Museum
Management Consultants, Inc (MMC) to complete the Pottery Program Management
Assessment (management assessment), finalized in November 2011.
On February 23, 2012, participants of the Parks and Recreation Department's community
roundtable reviewed recommendations from the management assessment and established
a Pottery Lab Working Group (working group), comprised of 12 members (community,
staff and two Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members), to make recommendations
to the Parks and Recreation Department regarding ideas to work towards the
sustainability of the Pottery Lab program. Eleven working group meetings have been
held to-date on March 15, April 20, May 8, May 29, June 13, June 26, July 16, July 26,
August 22, September 14 and September 24, 2012.
The working group explored issues and options related to: 1) keeping the Pottery Lab as
a city program; and 2) moving the Pottery Lab program outside of the city organization to
a nonprofit organization, public/private partnership, or other entity. Subcommittees of
the working group were formed to research topics related to programming issues, big
picture issues facing the Pottery Lab program, finance and space variables, and to analyze
recommendations identified in the management assessment.
AGENDA ITEM # VI-C PAGE I
ANALYSIS
Three options that the working group explored are described in the Recommendations for
the Future of the Pottery Lab Program (Attachment A) and include:
• City Option-Current
City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department would continue to operate the
Pottery Lab program along current lines, which is not expected to generate new
costs or additional revenues. City subsidy would continue to be required.
• City Option-Future
City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department would operate the Pottery Lab
program with short-term changes to be implemented immediately and medium
and long-term changes that could be implemented within five years and would
require additional funding. City subsidy would continue to be required until
fundraising efforts proved to be successful.
• Public-Private Partnership Option
A private entity would take over operation and management of the Pottery Lab
program, but would partner with the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation
Department and assumes that a full transition away from the city would be
seamless to the users and take up to five years.
Additional information for each option can be found in the Explanation of Matrix of
Options for Management and Operations of the Pottery Lab (Attachment B), Matrix of
Options for Management and Operations of the Pottery Lab (Attachment C), Addendums
to the Matrix (Attachment D) and the Draft Transition Plan (Attachment E).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board receive the Pottery Lab
Working Group's report of the Recommendations for the Future of the Pottery Lab
Program and schedule the item as needed, for a discussion item at the December 17, 2012
PRAB meeting.
NEXT STEPS
Schedule the Recommendations for the Future of the Pottery Lab Program as a discussion
item with Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on December 17, 2012.'
Updates will be provided on the Pottery page of the Parks and Recreation Department's
website http://www.bouldernotteLy.co

Background
The purpose of the Pottery Lab Working Group (Working Group) is to make consensus
recommendations to the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department regarding ways to
ensure the sustainability of the Pottery Lab. This discussion involved exploring issues and
options related to: 1) keeping the Pottery Lab as a City program (inside or outside the Parks and
Recreation Department); and 2) moving the Pottery Lab outside the City to a nonprofit
organization, public/private partnership, or other entity. The discussion included:
• Proarammin Issues: ssues: mission and vision; management structure and role of the City;
instruction; labor and staffing (including volunteers); marketing; ability to serve the
community (including EXPAND, seniors, and children); professional development
for staff, and outreach
• Big Picture Issues Facing the Pottery Lab: implementation timeline; sustainability
(time needed to achieve it and what it means); credibility of the pottery lab; and
credibility of the proposed outcomes of this process
• Big Picture Issues Related to the City: relationship to the broader City goals;
connection to the broader arts and business communities; and broader City
government support of the arts
• Finances: revenue; expenses (operating); capital; accounting structure; affordability
and price point; and economic benefit to the community
• Space: current building (needs, constraints, impacts on programs and revenues); types
needed (open lab, storage, class, exhibit, kiln, and workspace); and parking
The Working Group's work together is founded upon the following guiding principles:
a. Exploration: asking questions, examining information, and seeking new information
b. Openness: willingly sharing ideas and information
c. Open-mindedness: being open to ideas and information provided by others
d. Transparency: engaging in open, public dialogue
e. Shared education: learning together about the issues and interests at hand
f. Civil discourse: treating everyone in the group with dignity and respect
g. Productive dialogue: working to increase understanding and advance the discussion
The Working Group is comprised of
o Two members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB)
o Three members of Parks and Recreation staff, including the Pottery Program
Coordinator
o Six members of the pottery community
o One outside person with experience and knowledge of the Boulder arts community
Each Working Group member represents him- or herself but commits to consulting with friends,
colleagues, and others in the pottery community during the course of the dialogue. Members of
the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) in particular represent only themselves and do
not represent PRAB as a whole.

Considerations in the Working Group's Deliberations
During the discussions on the above topics, the Working Group identified several issues as
critical considerations in their discussions that remain important no matter where the Pottery Lab
is ultimately housed and who manages it;
• The Pottery Lab is a valued community asset that enhances the lives of many residents of
Boulder.
• Pottery is the only program in Parks and Recreation that produces a product. This very
unique aspect of the program also creates work-in-process management tasks, drives
storage requirements, and generates additional needs related to work-flow management
and efficient use of space.
• Long-term sustainability of the Pottery Lab is crucial; short-term solutions that leave
larger questions unanswered or longer-term concerns unaddressed are not an acceptable
outcome of this process.
• The Pottery Lab's current program offerings for EXPAND meet a broader City value and
need and are therefore important even if they do not generate revenue.
• Improved marketing that targets specific audiences and increases awareness of one-time
opportunities as well as ongoing programs will help grow the user group for the Pottery
Lab and extend its value into the community.
• Greater integration with the broader arts community in Boulder and the region is
necessary and will help ensure the long-term viability of the Pottery Lab.
• Additionally, the mission of the Pottery Lab will be revisited as part of the Departments
broader revision of the Master Plan. Pottery staff will be involved in this and other
efforts that address long-term programming.
• The intention of the ideas summarized below and outlined in greater detail in the Matrix
of Options for Management and Operations of the Pottery Lab is to move toward greater
cost recovery, but some strategies included in the Future City and PPP Options will
require additional funding.
Summary of Options Explored by the Workine Group
The descriptions of information below are intended to provide a summary of the three options
that the Pottery Lab Working Group explored. These summaries are not comprehensive
accounts of the detailed and nuanced work undertaken by the group. Please see the Working
Group's Matrix of Options for Management and Operations of the Pottery Lab for a more
detailed picture of each option.
1. City Option - Current
This option is ongoing operations and management along current lines. It is not expected to
generate new costs or additional revenues. A City subsidy would continue to be required.
2. City Option - Future
This option is a visionary approach to Pottery Lab operations and management while retaining
the Pottery Lab within the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department. Short-term

changes are those that could be implemented immediately and that would not require additional
funding. Medium- and long-term changes are those that could be implemented within 5 years
(some much sooner) and would require additional funding.
Some major potential short-term changes from the current Pottery Lab operations and
management include increasing overt City support for the Pottery Lab, better integration of the
Pottery Lab with the broader Boulder arts community, and potential reconfiguration of classes
and pricing to maximize participation and revenues.
Major proposed medium-term and long-term changes (depending on planning requirements and
available funding) address staffing, program offerings, and Pottery Lab infrastructure. Staffing
would be increased to at least previous levels (3 FTE) with new staff added when/if program
needs require doing so. Additional staffing needs include teaching (perhaps at a satellite
location), volunteer coordination, workshop management, fundraising, increased marketing, and
outreach to new potential user groups and volunteer pools. The program offerings would be
expanded to provide more and different classes (in ceramics and other arts) for current and new
user groups, perhaps in other classroom space dedicated to Pottery Lab use. Professional
development opportunities will help staff learn new skills and leverage them for new class
offerings.
In the vision for a better Pottery Lab future, a new outdoor storage area would be added (but not
attached) to the Pottery Lab, as well as a covered storage area on the south side of the building
and a new cooperative approach to parking with the City to allow for more flexibility for Pottery
Lab students and staff. Inside the Pottery Lab, the vision includes a new elevator for moving
heavy material and users with special needs as well as potential changes to the location of
storage and classes to maximize work-flow efficiency. Additionally, at the Pottery Lab and
possibly elsewhere (i.e., recreation centers) there would be dedicated exhibit space to allow for
ongoing sale of pottery throughout the year.
Revenues in this approach would be expected to increase incrementally through changes to
pricing, increased class offerings, and more workshops and other specialized programs during
down-times in the regular class schedule. Additional funds are expected to be raised through
increased number and location of pottery sales, grant writing and other fundraising
predominantly by non-City staff (unless new funds are found to pay for a development
specialist), and donations and bequests. Costs would also increase through staffing increases,
operating costs increases associated with increased course offerings, and investments. This
approach includes ongoing analysis of the effects of the implemented changes and adaptive
management to respond over time. It is expected to require an ongoing but much-reduced
subsidy from the City of Boulder.
3. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Option
This option assumes that a private entity would take over operation and management of the
Pottery Lab, but would do so in partnership with the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation
Department. It also assumes that a full transition from the City would take up to 5 years and that
j

DRAFT DOCUMENT
substantial planning would occur and care would be taken to ensure that the transition would be
seamless to the user.
The PPP option envisions many of the same changes to the current functioning of the Pottery
Lab, including increased staff levels to meet the needs described under the Future City Option
(above). Staffing is expected to be somewhat more cost-efficient (due to greater flexibility in
salary and benefits packages) and somewhat more time-efficient (due to a more flexible private
hiring process), but the PPP would be expected to provide market-comparable salaries and
benefits. In addition to the staffing needs previously described, this option would require
accounting, marketing, and legal services that are currently provided by the City; it is expected
that these services could be outsource with a reasonable degree of cost efficiency. The PPP
option is expected to continue to rely on and benefit substantially from the work of volunteers as
well.
The mission of a PPP-run Pottery Lab would be similar to the mission of the City pottery
program, but it would be more focused on art, be more flexible, and include a commitment to
providing opportunities for the community in general and unique resources for artists. The
Pottery Lab would be governed by a Board of Directors, which would include a seat for a
representative from the City and/or seats for representatives from City Council or the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board. The Executive Director of a PPP managing the Pottery Lab would
work with the Board of Directors to make staffing and programming decisions. The market
would drive what courses would be offered, but the overall goal would be to expand services and
provide opportunities for all skill levels. Marketing options are expected to be more flexible and
responsive in this vision, with greater options for collaborative marketing with other nonprofits.
The PPP option assumes that the City would continue to own the building in which the Pottery
Lab currently resides and that a lease arrangement would allow the PPP entity to lease the
building at a very low cost (similar to lease arrangements that currently exist for the Boulder
Museum of Contemporary Art and the Dairy Center for the Arts). Over time, the PPP entity
might explore either expanding or changing its facility space if programming expansion in
interim indicated that doing so would increase course offerings, generate more revenue than
costs, and contribute to the overall sustainability of the pottery program.
This approach assumes that a savvy entity takes over the Pottery Lab and develops a robust
business plan. It is expected that this approach will have new costs that are not currently a part
of the Pottery Lab budget, but it will also have new opportunities to generate revenue (different
classes, more marketing, new fee structure) and more flexibility in fundraising to bring greater
balance to the ledger. It may require a one-time capital contribution from the City to ensure the
program starts out on a solid foundation. The City subsidy would be expected to decrease
substantially after the transition period ended. It also assumes ongoing analysis of the effects of
the implemented changes and adaptive management to respond over time.
If the PPP approach is selected, additional discussion with City staff would be required to better
understand the options for issuing a request for proposals and selecting a contractor. The Pottery

Lab Working Group would like to have a role in outlining the scope of work for the PPP entity to
ensure that these ideas are carried forward into that process.
Recommendations for the Future of the Pottery Lab
Members of the Pottery Lab Working Group have spent countless hours in careful discussion and
deliberation regarding the future of the Pottery Lab. They have met as a full group for at least
two hours twice a month for five months, Additionally, several task groups were established to
work on specific issues between meetings, committing substantial additional hours to this effort
in the evenings and on weekends. The Working Group is confident that their consideration of
the options for the future of the Pottery Lab has been as comprehensive as possible with the
available information and resources.
During their deliberations, the members of the Pottery Lab Working Group sought to achieve
consensus on a final recommendation regarding the future of the Pottery Lab. The Working
Group members are unanimous in their commitment to achieving long-term sustainability for the
Pottery Lab, but there remain differences among the members about how that sustainability can
best be achieved. However, all members of the Working Group have expressed a willingness to
accept the recommendation of the majority and the group remains cohesive and collaborative.
The majority of Pottery Lab Working Group members (eight of twelve) recommend that the City
of Boulder explore the public-private partnership option. Reasons for this recommendation
include:
• The PPP will have more flexibility in hiring, programming, and fundraising.
• Ongoing City management of the Pottery Lab seems unlikely to result in long-term
sustainability of the Pottery Lab and may require further dialogue about how to address
costs and cost recovery in the future.
However, several concerns go along with this recommendation, including that there may not be
an interested or qualified entity that can manage the Pottery Lab and that the transition from City
to PPP management would need to be carefully planned and implemented. For this reason, the
Pottery Lab Working Group makes the following recommendations:
1. The City of Boulder should issue a Request for Information (RFI) to determine whether
there are interested and qualified entities who would be interested in managing the
Pottery Lab.
2. The City of Boulder should have a clear transition plan that outlines when and how the
transition from City to PPP management would likely occur. To facilitate this, the
Working Group has worked with staff to draft elements that should be included in a
transition plan. This is attached.
3. The City of Boulder should proceed with the RFI with the expectation that a qualified
entity exists and will ultimately take over management of the Pottery Lab. However, if
the RFI process indicates that there are no interested and/or qualified entities who could
PAGE
Attachment A

DRAFT DOCUMENT
take over management of the Pottery Lab, the Working Group recommends that
management of the Pottery Lab revert back to the City. Should this occur, the Working
Group strongly recommends that the City review the ideas outlined in the Matrix of
Options and implement as many of them as possible as soon as possible.
As is indicated above, not all members of the Working Group fully support this recommendation.
Two of the twelve members remain "on the fence," unable to indicate a preference for a
particular option. These individuals have identified strengths and weaknesses of both
approaches to future management and operation of the Pottery Lab. Additionally, two other
members of the Working Group have expressed a preference for keeping the Pottery Lab within
the City of Boulder. Those who preferred this option stated a concern that the PPP approach is
heavily dependent on fundraising that they feel is unlikely to yield substantial additional revenue.
Therefore, the PPP option may not result in the long-term sustainability the Working Group
desires.

Explanation of the Matrix of Options for Management and Operations of the
Pottery Lab and Addendums
The PLWG designed a matrix to look at different options available. After discussion and fine-tuning, the
matrix was developed with three columns, or scenarios. There are two columns under City Option (A),
to show the pottery program under the direction of the City/Parks and Recreation - current and future.
The third column, PPP (B) Public-Private-Non-profit Partnership considers the pottery program
management and operations as a Public-Private-Non-profit Partnership option.
In addition to the matrix, Addendums follow in the same order as the matrix. Addendums were added
where it was felt that more information would be valuable (i.e. specific marketing ideas, staffing details,
etc.).
City Option (A) Column 1 describes the Pottery Program as it currently functions. The group reviewed all
the conditions, policies, variables and constraints affecting the current program.
City Option (A) Column 2 reviews the same variables and constraints with an eye to the future, offering
ideas/recommendations to increase cost-recovery percentages, improve programs, more adequately
serve the community, and effectively use the facility.
PPP (B) Column 3 reviews the same variables and constraints that would exist if the program is managed
by a Public-Private, Non-Profit entity. The City of Boulder is the public component in this option. The PPP
is selected either as a Sole Source or through an RFI/RFP process.

o Offer a sequence of classes from session to session
• Open lab time
o Open Lab provides an opportunity to practice for all
o Open lab provides opportunity for more experienced potters to contribute to the

o pottery design
o ceramics art history
• Offer non-pottery related, art classes (that don't require kilns, storage space, etc.):

• Hold planned workshops that extend and enrich current class offerings
• Involve visiting artists
• Utilize University graduate ceramics students/interns
ATTACHMENT D
Space Addendum for Column 2, City Option (A) future
In the existing facility, revenue increases occur with additional space. More classes can be held,
work flow improves, and staff time is used more efficiently.
• With a re-organization of the internal space, multiple classes could be run simultaneously
(i.e., hand-building class upstairs, adult wheel class downstairs)
• A non-attached insulated or heated 10' by 28' storage/work area on the east side of the
building would allow electric kilns and clay storage to be moved here. By moving electric
kilns off the 2'd floor, a flexible classroom space could be created to have larger camps or
differentiated (i.e., films series, jewelry making) classes, seminars, workshops.
• A roof (also serving as 2"d story floor) over the 12' by 45' south patio area would create a
significant amount of space for dying, storage, and work space weather permitting.
• An ADA compliant elevator or cargo lift for moving heavy material may be able to be built
using 10' x 10' of floor space.
• Cost estimates for 1) the 10' x 28' storage building, 2) the elevator, and 3) the 12' x 45'

ii. The PPP would commit to keeping an educational mission that serves all
community members currently served by Pottery Lab programs.
iii. To successfully serve the City's goals of reaching underserved populations,
long-term, continuous financial support from the City will most likely be
required. For this, the annual financial support from the City is not static and
we have set a minimum financial platform that would support EXPAND,
Youth Programming, Kids Programs and Senior Programs for perpetuity.
b. A Fundraising plan by the PPP/entity will be a required part of the submission in the
RFI/RFP/application process.
