• There is a strong need for community meeting space available to groups at a reasonable price • It is recommended that additional construction to accommodate the expansion of the church and the catering operation not be pursued • List of desired uses and priorities: Highest priority: - small event/meeting space - large event/meeting space - City assembly space (e.g., elections, town meeting, public hearings) - Exercise and fitness facilities - Senior fitness area - Children’s play area - Youth and adult program space - Gym space - Multi-purpose space - Community lounge area (e.g., wi-fi access, self service or vending area) Lower priority: - Walking track - Upgraded locker rooms • The MVCC should be operated in a fiscally responsible manner. The consensus of the Task Force was that it was a goal to have the Community Center be 50% self sufficient through memberships or user fees and the balance to be supported by the City • The management of the MVCC should be consolidated to a single source of contact to improve internal administration and service to the public • The marketing of the MVCC has been inadequate in the past and needs to be enhanced to generate additional revenue • Membership and daily rates can provide substantial revenue and need to be competitive to local facilities offering similar features • Hours of operation should be expanded to be more convenient to users and to attract more membership revenue. • The City needs to plan ahead for capital replacement costs of major equipment • An annual membership system would be successful if facilities were upgraded and cost was reasonable and competitive with other local facilities • Increasing the hours of operation, additional programming, marketing and management will require a corresponding increase in staff resources offered
