Mounds View City Council November 23, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller thanked the Charter Commission for this recommendation and Chair <br />Thomas for her attendance tonight. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked what is on the Charter Commission’s agenda. Ms. Thomas stated there <br />will be additional discussion on this matter, amendments to Chapter 8, and completion of the <br />year end summary letter to the court. She reported there are four open seats on the Charter <br />Commission and one new member will be joining them, perhaps next month. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />F. Resolution 7531, Approving the Revised YMCA Agreement. <br /> <br />Clerk-Administrator Ericson reviewed the Council’s past consideration of the YMCA agreement, <br />including discussion at the November Work Session meeting. He presented the staff report that <br />described all of the changes made, at the Council’s direction, since the November Work Session <br />meeting. Clerk-Administrator Ericson stated that staff feels this document is ready for <br />consideration but it can be deferred should the Council request additional changes or discussion. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn stated the JPA with Spring Lake Park for Lakeside Park addresses the <br />employment process and job classification for life guards, yet this agreement removes those <br />references since the beach has been closed for years. Clerk-Administrator Ericson explained that <br />it does not hurt to include that language in case the beach opens in the future or it can be <br />removed, at the Council’s direction. Council Member Gunn stated the revised YMCA agreement <br />does a good job in spelling out responsibilities. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller requested an explanation regarding surplus revenues. Clerk- <br />Administrator Ericson explained that at the end of the year, an analysis is done of all program fee <br />revenues. Those dollars are totaled, the YMCA deducts its administrative costs, and the surplus <br />left over is divided according to this agreement. The agreement clarifies that the first $25,000 of <br />any surplus goes to the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller referenced Exhibit 5, procedure for handling complaints, and asked <br />which paragraph would be applicable if there was a complaint from an event booked at the Event <br />Center portion of the YMCA. Clerk-Administrator Ericson explained that a complaint related to <br />the facility or staff would be addressed by his office and involve discussion with the Event <br />Center Coordinator and, if necessary, YMCA staff. Council Member Mueller noted two YMCA <br />staff members have to be on duty at the close and asked if that also applies to events at the Event <br />Center. Clerk-Administrator Ericson stated it does not but it is required for staff to be present so <br />it may be necessary for the client to hire security or additional staff. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked about the requirement for notification by the YMCA to pre-registrants if an <br />event is canceled. Council Member Mueller pointed out that Page 5, item 28, addresses the <br />cancellation policy and the notification process could be included. The Council agreed. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty referenced Page 4 and asked if there are restrictions on the type of clothing that
