<br />Council Member Broussard Vickers inquired as to subletting land and if there <br />would be any kind of liability. Mayor Wilharber suggested the City approach the <br />church for an option to lease more space for parking next year. Mr. March said <br />the City has a verbal lease with the church and just needed to iron a few things <br />out. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Sweeney. seconded by Broussard Vickers to <br />have Mr. March draft a letter to the church for Council approval. All in <br />favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Holiday Party <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Travis. seconded by Council Member Sweeney <br />to approve holding the holiday party at Majestic Oaks as presented. All in <br />favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Proposed Chain of Lakes YMCA <br /> <br />Mr. March presented information on a proposed Chain of Lakes YMCA to the <br />Council. He presented a document showing what it would cost Centerville over <br />the course of 5, 10 and 15 years. Also included was information on fundraising <br />plans to help fund the YMCA. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney questioned if Centerville would get the same benefits <br />as Lino Lakes is getting. He then indicated the City would have to make a <br />$250,000 donation to participate in the program. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned if the YMCA would be held to <br />public standards or if they are a private company. Mr. Hoeft said he is uncertain <br />as to the structure of the business but thinks they are able to make certain <br />decisions that public entities cannot. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber stated the pros and cons of the project need to be considered <br />very carefully and weighed against the cost of having a shared facility versus <br />building a community center in Centerville. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber indicated he had spoken to the priest at St. Genevieve and was <br />told the church may be merging with the church in Hugo and they would remodel, <br />expand and perhaps there would be room for a community center on church <br />property. Mayor Wilharber said the priest would need to go to the church for <br />approval of the plan and then the archdioceses, but it may be a possibility if they <br />do a land swap with the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber indicated he would like to hold a workshop where the Council <br />would discuss what it would cost to build a community center. <br /> <br />Page 19 of22 <br />
