Item No: 4 Meeting Date: October 6, 2014 Type of Business: Work Session City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Review Proposed Hours of Operation for the Mounds View Community Center Introduction: At the September YMCA Advisory Committee meeting, the Y staff discussed the possibility of expanding the hours that the building is open to better address the changing needs of the community. Presently, the Community Center is open 85 hours each week; the proposal would increase that number to 92 hours. The additional cost of the expanded hours would be about $4,400 per year. Discussion: The following represents the MVCC’s current building hours: Mon Tues Weds Thur Fri Sat Sun Total Hours: 9 am 9 am 9 am 9 am 9 am 8 am 11 am 10 pm 10 pm 10 pm 10 am 10 am 9 pm 6 pm 85 The following revised schedule is being proposed: Mon Tues Weds Thur Fri Sat Sun Total Hours: 8 am 8 am 8 am 8 am 8 am 8 am 10 am 9 pm 9 pm 9 pm 9 pm 10 pm 10 pm 8 pm 90 As can be seen, the only change Mondays through Thursdays would be to open and close one hour earlier. The building would be open an hour earlier on Fridays, and on Saturdays the building would remain open an hour later. Sundays the building would open an hour earlier and stay open two hours later. In addition to the five more hours on the weekend, the Y proposes two additional hours during the week (not shown above) specifically for open volleyball, bringing the total staffed hours of the building up to 92. The calculated cost of the additional seven hours of staff time would come to $4,368. The current management fee paid to the YMCA for the 85 hours amounts to $250,742, excluding costs for warming house attendants or any part-time event center staff. There would be a partial offset to the additional labor costs from new user fees (program fees and gym fees) collected during the expanded hours of operation. The extent of the potential revenue offset however is unknown at this point.
