Mounds View City Council February 26, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br />Acting Mayor Stigney said that this increases the amount to $200,000 going to the community • <br />center and there was a banquet center creating money and there was an opportunity to run it on an <br />interim basis which would have brought money in and now this is running on a deficit and there <br />is no plan for that Community Center other than to continue to shell out money for its needs. <br />Acting Mayor Stigney said that Council and Staff needs to look at what to do with this <br />Community Center to ensure that this does not continue to happen. <br />Council Member Flaherty said that he agrees with the transfer of funds is necessary but said that <br />they are still figuring out how the Community Center should best utilize the funds that they need. <br />Council Member Mueller said that this is the youth program we have in the City. She then said <br />that in the current issue of Mounds View Matters there is a little notice that the City is looking <br />for interested residents to serve on the board with the YMCA staff to look at ways to grow the <br />Community Center revenues. She further invited residents to call to rent the facility for their <br />events. <br />Council Member Hull said that this is a Community Center meant for the community and renting <br />out defeats the purpose of having a Community Center. <br />Acting Mayor Stigney said that the majority of people that use the Community Center are not <br />Mounds View residents. He then suggested that Council and Staff look at this to offset the losses <br />being continually pumped into the Community Center. • <br />Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />William Werner of 2765 Sherwood Road said that he understands what was said and he thinks <br />that this is an amenity but something has to be done and he questions the thinking of continuing <br />to transfer funds to it. <br />C.
