r7/ V City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor & members of the City Council From: Bruce A. Kessel, Finance Director Item Title/Subject: Update on YMCA contract & interim agreement Date of Report: December 11, 1998 Today, I met with representatives of the YMCA and Scott Riggs from Kennedy & Graven on the proposed contract for the YMCA's management of the City's Community Center. While work on the contract is proceeding, it is not yet in a form that staff,the attorneys, and the YMCA are comfortable in bringing before you for approval. We anticipate that we will have a revised draft of the contract for your review within the next several weeks. We have discussed an interim arrangement with the YMCA whereby they would put together and supervise winter programming for the City until the contract is finalized and approved. The general terms of this arrangement would be that the YMCA would provide an individual for V2 time through the end of the year and full time after year-end. The individual is who the YMCA is proposing would oversee the Community Center and Recreation programming when the contract is approved. The City would reimburse the YMCA for its direct cost of the employee (salary and benefits). The City would provide two full time equivalent employees to assist in the transition- the existing City recreation intern and a golf course employee who had previously worked as an intern for our recreation department. The term of the arrangement would be the earlier of the date the contract is approved or January 31, 1999. If for some unseen reason the City and YMCA are unable to terms,the City would also agree to reimburse the YMCA for its costs associated with putting together program brochures and general supervision. A draft of the proposed interim agreement should be available for your review on Monday night. The YMCA is putting together the program for winter programming and has tentatively scheduled its individual to start working on our programming December 15th.
