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 /> 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 /> Holiday Party <br /> Motion by Council Member Travis, seconded by Council Member Sweeney <br /> to approve holding the holiday party at Majestic Oaks aspresented. All in <br /> favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Proposed Chain of Lakes YMCA <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Page 19 of 22 <br />
