Recreation Center as a Public Testing Site
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to authorize execution of a license agreement with
the State of Minnesota to utilize the Lino Lakes Recreation Center as a public COVID-19 testing
site.
BACKGROUND
City staff was contacted in August by the State of Minnesota regarding the use of the Lino Lalces
Recreation Center as a COVID-19 testing site. Staff met with state officials to determine space
needs, logistics, and operational requirements. The State would occupy the facility as a COVID-
19 testing site September 8, 2021 through October 31, 2021, with an option to extend through
November 30, 2021 with notice by October 15, 2021 and an option to extend through December
31, 2021 with notice by November 15, 2021.
The license agreement will provide for State use of the facility and includes a base rent of
$13,083.33 per month and a not to exceed amount to cover bung operations. Reimbursement
for utility and service fees will be based on actual billings.
The license agreement does provide for use of the facility as a public COVID-19 testing site or
for public vaccination, but for no other purpose. The State has requested this flexty, but
would not operate both a testing site and a vaccination site simultaneously in the facility.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 21-90.
