III. Values <br />Over the past two months, Task Force members have expressed their beliefs <br />about what the Mounds View Community Center should be. While sometimes <br />differing in their personal preferences, several common principles developed. <br />Task Force members expressed a willingness to invest in and support the MVCC <br />as a vital community facility. Other common values included: <br /> <br />• The Community Center should serve a broad segment of the population <br />and be available for use by Mounds View residents <br />• The Community Center needs to be operated in a financially responsible <br />manner <br />• The Community Center serves primarily Mounds View taxpayers and <br />residents <br />• The Community Center is an important asset to the community and can be <br />improved to better serve Mounds View residents <br />• The City needs to continue to work with partners (such as the YMCA and <br />the School District) to provide high-quality, cost effective recreation <br />opportunities <br /> <br /> <br />IV. Recommendations <br />The Task Force has the following recommendations to the City Council: <br /> <br />1. It is recommended that additional construction to accommodate the <br />expansion of the church and the catering operation not be pursued <br /> <br />2. It is recommended that the MVCC be operated in a fiscally responsible <br />manner with a goal to have the Community Center be at least 50% self <br />sufficient through memberships or user fees, and the balance to be <br />supported by the City if necessary. <br /> <br />3. The MVCC facilities should be modified in the following areas: <br />A. Option 1: convert a portion of the banquet center into a fitness area <br />with aerobic equipment, weight machines, free weights and aerobic <br />dance studio. <br /> <br />Option 2: convert the current game table/vending area into the fitness <br />area. The wood floor of the banquet center would still be used for an <br />aerobic dance studio and other programming. <br /> <br />B. Relocate current vending machines to conference room “D”. <br /> <br />C. Improve lounge area by gym to include wi-fi access and additional <br />lounge furniture. <br /> <br />D. Convert former exercise room into a “Quiet Room.”
