Expansion List Discussion Frank took a few minutes to review discussion that occurred at the February 24, 2015 Andover City Council Workshop /Andover YMCA Community Center facility tour. By the end of May 2015 the Andover City Council hopes to have a firm hired to create a city campus master plan. The AYCC Commission feels, it would be beneficial to invite this firm to our June advisory commission meeting, so the commission can share their expansion vision. Commission questioned when pre- design was going to be done — Erick will check with Jim Dickinson. Tony Howard suggested that commission set aside expansion area space, even if area(s) aren't included in the first wave of the expansion project or in the event the expansion project were to be pushed out. Commission needs to set space aside, so it is available for future use. ACC staff will provide a floorplan with expansion areas identified from original build. Andover YMCA Community Center Advisory Commission Minutes March 16, 2015 Commission felt that for their March/April meetings they prioritize what their current needs are (core), what items could be added at a later date (add -on) and long -term expansion ideas. The commission felt that it was important for everyone to work together and program space together. Mike Knight questioned if alternative energy sources could be added to any of the roof -tops of expanded areas. Frank indicated there are many things we'd have to explore regarding such addition; fiscal vs capital spend. Public vs Private partnership, state funding, etc. Commission felt that city engineering is more qualified to research alternative energy options. Commission Tasks: Demographics: Ted Butler will research and bring back to commission. Areas Ted will explore are U of M, Jim Dickinson, School District, Met Council and the YMCA. AYCC Task Force Data: Frank will collect data from when he served on the original task force for the facility. YMCA: Allison will check with corporate for update of expansion time -line and if it'll be in -line for 2017. Allison will also come up with an approximate square footage of expansion areas as listed above. She will also share demographics that the Y has, with Ted. Allison stated that 50 -55% of their members are from Andover which is an exceptionally high percentage compared to other YMCA's. Frank would like Allison to identify the areas of Andover that members are coming from, more importantly are not coming from. Frank wondered if trail systems were added, if Andover membership would increase. AHYHA: To provide AHYHA vision of expansion rink along with financials. Erick: Summarize available vs sold or used prime and non -prime ice hours.
