July 23, 2007 Lori Johnson City Administrator 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 Dear Lori, Thank you for your consideration of providing some space and tools for our first Elk River YMCA employee to work from until the new facility is opened. We were able to have an arrangement like this in Andover and I believe it proved to be beneficial to the City as well as the YMCA. As the construction begins, there will be more and more calls to the City about what is going on and what is the timeline and what is the cost, etc. By having a YMCA employee available, a lot of this work can be taken off of the City staff. In a similar vein, by hiring a Community Director, the Y will have the ability to have a presence in the Community and get more involved in things like Rotary and Lions, work with the local paper, etc. so people can get to know what their YMCA will do for the Community and have a real person who the can connect with. The timeline we are working toward is to have the person out in Elk River August 6th, 2007. The things I anticipate they would need is a cube or some type of desk space, a phone (although they will have a cell phone), a computer connection (they will have a lap top) and perhaps occasional use of the copy machine, which we could reimburse for if necessary. The space would need to be secured and the YMCA would need space until the new Y is opened, which as you know is anticipated being in September of 2008. Please let me know if this is something that could be accommodated by the City to the YMCA. We would greatly appreciate it and believe it will be beneficial to both partners. Thanks again for your consideration and please don't hesitate to call me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Anita M Lancello Bydlon V.P. of New Development
