• DATE: September 8, 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members FROM: Terri Blattenbauer YMCA Program Executive RE: Requested information on the MVCC showers/changing rooms As you know, the Parks & Recreation Commission and YMCA staff at the Community Center are anxious to pursue construction of the addition of showers/changing rooms. The following is information requested by you at the August 23 Council meeting, which is anticipated with the new addition: • Additional projected revenue: Conservatively from additional in-house and Minnesota Sports Federation sponsored tournaments, and early morning and noon hour usage. $5,610 (first year). • Additional projected expense: Cleaning/maintenance, supplies, and water. $7,500 (first year). Within 2-3 years, I anticipate even more programming as this will enhance our facility • and truly make it more appealing to the adult market. I would expect that in subsequent years that revenue would exceed $10,000. I have contacted two architects to learn of additional fees to the project. Wold Architects & Engineers estimated $4,000 less than WAI, who did the original work with the building of the Community Center. Wold Architects are reputable as the firm involved with projects at City Hall. The additional fee would not exceed $12,000. It is my recommendation to hire Wold Architects & Engineers for this project. At this point, a cost estimate provided by a plumber and construction company totaled $111,300, however, I anticipate your approval to immediately move on to the bidding process. A cost of approximately $300 should be allowed for the advertising. I will be involved in a meeting on Monday, September 13 to discuss usage of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for this project. If you have questions regarding the addition of showers/changing areas to the Community Center, please call me at(612)717-4042. 1111
