<br />Item No: 1 A&B <br />Meeting Date: 1/03/06 <br /> Type of Business: Work Session <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Mounds View Community Center <br />A. Presentation by Canyon Catering/In the Word Church <br />B. Community Center Task Force <br /> <br />A. Presentation by Canyon Catering/In the Word Church <br />In the Word Church and Canyon Catering have requested time to make a presentation <br />on a proposal that they would like the City to consider. The proposal, as explained to me, <br />would physically divide the current church and banquet area of the Community Center <br />and would put the space under direct control of this partnership. Since the details of the <br />proposal have not yet been shared with the City, staff is unable to comment at this time. <br />The proposal apparently will continue to provide the City with at least the current rent of <br />$5,000 per month ($60,000 per year) in revenue, however, may result in a loss of lease <br />space availability or flexibility for other outside groups wanting to use the space. <br /> <br />Questions and concerns of the Council may be addressed to In the Word Church and <br />Canyon Catering, with the opportunity to consider modifications. <br /> <br />B. Community Center Task Force <br />At the December 5, 2005 work session, the City Council discussed the creation of a <br />Community Center Task Force to help plan the future of the facility. <br /> <br />Suggested Task Force Membership: <br />• 1 Council Member <br />• 1 Planning Commission Member <br />• 1 Park and Recreation Commission Member <br />• 2 Citizens at-large <br /> <br />Staff Liaison: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br /> Steve Dazenski, Parks Supervisor <br /> <br />Direction to task Force: <br />• Identify the scope of community needs the City wants to serve with the banquet <br />facility and the Community Center. <br />• Identify to what extent community needs are being met. <br />• Identify alternatives to meet the City’s identified needs. <br />• Identify resources available for the City to meet identified needs. <br />• Identify a short to long-range strategy for the facility. <br />• Report to Council at the March 6, 2006 work session <br /> <br />Based upon discussion at the work session meeting, this item would be brought back to <br />the January 9, 2006 Council meeting for consideration.
