Mounds View City Council November 24, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 2 • Mr. Jahnke asked Council to remember to include the costs of having employees when evaluating whether to take over the Community Center. Mr. Jahnke indicated that Mr. Whiting. had said when the Community Center was built that it would pay for itself but it is now costing the City $150,000 per year. Mayor Linke indicated he had made the comment that it would never make money as Park and Recreation is a service to the residents but, hopefully, it would generate enough revenue to offset a lot of the costs. Council Member Quick asked Mr. Jahnke to provide a copy of the minutes that show that Mr. Whiting made that statement. He then said that he remembers the opposite being true that Mr. Whiting had cautioned Council that the Community Center would not make money but at best would break even. Mr. Jahnke indicated he had gone out to Hudson and Mr. Whiting told him that. City Administrator Ulrich indicated that this item is scheduled for the January 5, 2004 work session where Staff will present a financial analysis. . 6. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS None. 7.
