Ms. Lancello-Bydlon explained costs have not <br /> been determined and would depend on the YMCA and city's arrangement. She <br /> further explained it would also depend on the level of partnership between the <br /> YMCA and the city. Discussion took place on various partnership options. Ms. <br /> Hanson stated every agreement in every city is different and is customized based on <br /> the community needs. She added they reviewed all of the current services the city <br /> offers and there isn't anything the YMCA wouldn't be able to duplicate. <br /> The Council questioned the next step. Ms. Lancello-Bydlon indicated the YMCA will <br /> need a commitment from the city on the path they wish to take before proceeding. <br /> Some members of the Council expressed concern with committing before knowing <br /> costs and program details. Mr. Portner explained the YMCA will need a certain level <br /> of commitment prior to entering in to discussions with the city. He stated there will <br /> be some expense involved and he needs Council commitment to expend funds <br /> before he can work out a plan. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard stated the city will need to spend money to see the full <br /> picture. He questioned if the YMCA would be willing to cost share costs to explore. <br /> Mr. Lancello-Bydlon indicated she believes it is in the interest of both the city and <br /> the YMCA. She noted it should cost less than$10,000 to explore. <br /> Council consensus was for staff to prepare a Memorandum of Understanding <br /> outlining approximate costs for review. Mayor Dietz expressed an interest in having <br /> someone from the Council and recreation staff in attendance for discussions to make <br /> sure everything is included. <br /> 10.2 Trunk Highway 10 and Main Street Redevelopment Plan <br /> Ms. Othoudt presented the staff report and stated she is looking for general <br /> feedback.
