<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Agenda Date Requested: <br /> <br />March 28, 1994 <br /> <br />Requested By: Buddv Jacobs Department: Parks & Rec <br />Report Resolution XXX Ordinance <br />Exhibits: 1. Ordinance No. <br />2. Agreement between the City of La Porte & <br />the San Jacinto Branch of the Greater Houston Area <br />Young Men's Christian Association <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />The Brookglen Community Improvement Association approached staff <br />with the possibility of the YMCA operating the proposed Recreation <br />Center located in the Brookglen Subdivision. The YMCA currently <br />operates the Association's swimming pool complex and they are very <br />satisfied with the arrangement. The Association feels the YMCA can <br />offer more and varied daytime and afternoon programs than the city <br />can currently offer without additional staff and costs. <br /> <br />The YMCA will operate programming in the Brookglen Recreation <br />Center with the City operating any private party rental of the <br />facility. The City will be responsible for general cleaning of the <br />building with the YMCA being responsible for cleaning after their <br />programs. The city will be responsible for all utilities with the <br />YMCA agreeing to pay one half (1/2) of the electrical costs at a <br />flat rate of $200.00 per month, adjusted annually by actual billing <br />costs). The agreement would terminate on August 31, 1995. <br /> <br />Through this agreement, the City would realize a savings in <br />personnel and programming costs in the amount of $17,500.00 <br />annually. This estimate is based on the programming of the <br />Fairmont Recreation Center, a comparable facility. <br /> <br />For this reason, Staff recommends approval of the agreement between <br />the City and the YMCA for the operation of recreational programs in <br />the Brookglen Recreation Center. <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: Authorize City Manager to execute the <br />agreement between the City and the YMCA for the operation of <br />recreational programs in the Brookglen Recreation Center. <br /> <br />Availability of Funds: <br /> <br />General Fund <br />Capital Improvement <br />Other <br /> <br />Water/Wastewater <br />General Revenue Sharing <br /> <br />Account Number: Funds Available: <br />Approved for City Council Aqenda <br /> <br />YES <br /> <br />NO <br /> <br />G?Jw.:k T. ~ <br /> <br />Robert T.
