City of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #5.2. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br />Pat Klaers, City Admini~;~t~ <br /> <br />September 11, 2000 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: YMCA Feasibility Study <br /> <br />As previously reviewed with the City Council, the city and representatives of <br />the YMCA have been discussing the possibility of bringing a YMCA facility to <br />the community. The first step in this process is to conduct a market feasibility <br />study in order to determine such things as potential membership, preferred <br />siting, and desired programs. This market feasibility study does not deal with <br />capital funding issues. <br /> <br />The Board of Directors of the YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis has <br />authorized the YMCA to equally share the cost of a market feasibility study <br />with the City of Elk River. Details on the feasibility study proposal are <br />expected on Thursday, September 7, and may or may not make it into the <br />packet. (The packets will be completed on Thursday due to work and staffing <br />issues related to the September 12 primary election.) <br /> <br />The council previously discussed funding its share of the feasibility study in <br />2000 by using the city council contingency fund. The feasibility study will take <br />three or four months and results will not be available until early 2001. <br />Originally it was assumed that the maximum cost for a feasibility study was in <br />the $30,000 range and, if this holds true, our share would be up to $15,000. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
