The Pella City Council will consider the creation of a new committee to help determine what the proposed indoor recreation facility could include at their meeting Tuesday.

Pella Mayor Don DeWaard is appointing 12 individuals to serve as volunteers and make recommendations for the project engineer, the Pella City Council, and other boards when decisions need to be made.

This comes two weeks after DeWaard announced a wide-ranging plan that would include construction of a new indoor recreation facility, upgrades to the Pella Community Center, and other wide ranging projects, which at its baseline would cost $45 million, with $12 million already pledged from the community’s large corporations toward the effort.

The following individuals were nominated for council’s consideration for the ad-hoc committee:
• Jaime Schiferl, PCD Group Fitness Manager
• Doug Diers, Shoot-It Basketball Academy President
• Lindsy Brandt, Pella Tennis Association Program Director and Board President
• Laura Nicholson, Pella Community School District Freshman Volleyball Coach
• Jennie Hedrick-Rozenberg, Central College Head Triathlon Coach, swim coach for South East Aquatics and the City of Pella
• Andrea Dana, Iowa Dance/Drill Team Association Executive Director
• Russ Goodman, Central College Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach
• Joe Ritzert, Pella Wrestling Club
• Sarah Turnbull, parent of a special needs child
• Nate Guess, member of the Community Services Board
• Representative from Fields for our Future (TBD)
• Dr. Spencer Carlstone, City Council Member

The committee will be presented at the beginning of Tuesday’s Pella City Council meeting, which begins at 6 p.m. in the Pella Public Safety Complex, with audio available online: https://join.me/CityofPella
