Clarify "competing" athletics programs being offered, i.e. soccer. — NMSA contacted the parks
department concerned that the YMCA was offering soccer.
Staff will relay these requests to Allison for her to bring with to our next meeting. Commission and
staff felt that perhaps programs could be communicated better so council, advisory board, etc all knew
the type of athletics and programs are being offered throughout the entire Andover YMCA Community
Center.

Staff Update
• Reviewed facility status report
• Commission thought it would be a good idea to come up with a sports show on a quarterly basis so
Andover residents could "buy" products without having to leave the Andover area.
• Commission wondered if bringing in sports apparel would be a good option. Mr. Butler reminded
the commission that he brought the idea of rental retail space to the facility in the event we
expanded the building.
• Discussed Programming Line in Budget report — It was identified that programming dollars for
programs taking place in 2013 were inadvertently put into the 2012 programming spreadsheet.
• Erick presented field house usage numbers
• Staff will present commission with ideas at next month's meeting for the city council workshop
planned for Tuesday, September 24, 2013.

Andover HS is the # 1 referring HS for homeless youth.
