Centerville is a partner in the Tri -City Police Department. The joint powers agreement was signed by all three communities last night. Mayor Wilharber, Robert Wright and Jon Grahek were all swom in to be representatives for the City of Centerville. * I met with YMCA Director Daryl Silverness this moming. Mr. Silverness provided me with a draft development agreement that the YMCA has with the City of Lino Lakes. The Y has nearly 4.5 million commited to this project already. They still need to raise approximately 1.5 to 2 million. They plan to construct an approximate 37,000 square foot facility that would include a teen center, gym, indoor pools, running /walking track, cardiovascular /strength training area, aerobic studio, family program space and Child Watch. The City of Lino Lakes is contributing approximately 1.5 million in cash and another $500,000 in -kind contribution of land. In exchange, Lino Lakes residents will receive a 10% discount on their annual fees and a 25% reduction in their initiation fees for a period of 15 years. The Y is extending the same type of offer to the residents of Centerville. It would cost Centerville approximately $250,000 for the same package. This contribution could be spread over a period of five years. I explained to Mr. Silverness that I thought a proposal would have a better chance of being approved if the proposal included a formal recreation program for the Centerville youth hosted at the Centerville Elementary School or one of the City parks. Mr. Silverness indicated that they plan to offer summer recreation programming in Centerville and that they would be happy if Centerville participated in the summer programming, regardless of whether or not the City wanted to participate in an offer to acquire reduced membership fees for Centerville residents. Mr. Silverness will be bringing back a proposal for summer recreation programming in a couple of weeks. They have already begun looking for staff to coordinate summer programming. They will be providing summer programming at the Rice Lake Elementary School. * I spoke to Dick Hubers yesterday. Mr. Hubers was having his attorney review the draft purchase agreement. Paul Palzer and I will be walking through Eagle Trucking at 10:00 on Monday morning to see what type of personal property Mr. Hubers is offering to have stay • 2!11/00
