MOUNDS VIEW <br />of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No: 01 <br />Meeting Date: August 3, 2020 <br />Type of Business: WS <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: YMCA Contract <br />Introduction: <br />This past June we received communication from the YMCA of a desire to severe or alter the <br />relationship. Council had a brief discussion at a council meeting and more in-depth discussion <br />at the July workshop with consensus to have the YMCA make a presentation at the August 3, <br />2020 workshop on what they would need to keep operating. <br />Discussion: <br />Since then we have received a termination letter from the YMCA (attached) that does not <br />comply with our contractual agreement. I have verbally informed Mr. Waibel that the contract <br />states they must notice us 180 days before it expires, not provide a 180 day notice. The letter <br />does lay out deadlines by which we need to come to an agreement and if not, deadline for the <br />transition. <br />Since then we have seen the YMCA announce the closures of 4 YMCA facilities and news <br />reports that they are the 31 or 4th YMCA in the nation but are down over 30% on revenues. <br />Don has begun some preliminary work on a transition plan should we not be able to reach an <br />agreement. <br />Recommendation: <br />Receive presentation, discuss and determine next step. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Nyle Zikmund <br />City Administrator <br />Attachments: <br />July Workshop Staff Report <br />YMCA Contract Options <br />YMCA Contract Termination Letter <br />
