<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />Administration November 6, 2006 <br />Item Description <br />Discussion of YMCA Memorandum of Under stan din <br /> <br /> <br />Administrator <br /> <br />Introduction <br />Following approval of the YMCA referendum, we have been working with the YMCA on clarifying the <br />language and concepts of the previously distributed and reviewed Memorandum of Understanding <br />(MOD) between the city, EDA, and the YMCA. The City Council reviewed the draft MOU before <br />authorizing the referendum question to be on the ballot. Before the MOU goes to the YMCA and EDA <br />for final consideration, the Council is asked to review and again provide input on the MOD. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Attached is the draft MOU that was included in the July 17 Council packet. Although the Council <br />reviewed the MOU at that meeting and provided a few comments, another review by the Council is <br />needed as the MOU is the basis for the lease that will be entered into between the YMCA and EDA. <br /> <br />There are several items that have been in discussion by YMCA staff and city staff since the referendum <br />was approved. Much of the discussion has been around clarifying the capital improvement language. <br />Both the YMCA staff and city agree on how to deal with capital improvements; the issue is making sure <br />the language in the MOU is clear. Other discussion items have been park and gymnasium use. Bill <br />Maertz has provided comments and language for dealing with those issues; these revisions are included in <br />the November 3 draft. Mr. Maertz will be at the meeting to explain these sections of the MOD. The <br />YMCA has some concerns about use of the park for YMCA programs and will be suggesting changes to <br />this section. <br /> <br />Any additional items of concern should be brought up by the Council on Monday so any Council <br />requested changes are included in the fInal draft of the MOU that will be sent to the YMCA and EDA for <br />approval. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />Attachments <br />.
