Proposal
To: Andover City Council Members
From: Andover YMCA Community Center Advisory Commission
Date: June 23, 2020
Subject: Resident vs Non -Resident Activity Admission Fees at the Andover Community Center
Following the May 19, 2020 Andover City Council Workshop meeting, the Andover City Council
directed the Andover YMCA Community Center Advisory Commission to submit
recommendations, along with a plan and costs involved to accomplish a resident vs non-
resident fee structure for the Andover Community Center Sports Complex Walking Track.
After reviewing comments from the city council workshop and meeting with ACC staff, the
Andover YMCA Community Center Advisory Commission is in support of Andover residents
receiving special activity admission fees at the ACC, however not limited to the walking track.
The following options have been proposed and are supported by the Andover YMCA Advisory
Commission.
1) Field House and Ice Arena Admission Packages
Resident and non-resident admission passes — users create a household account and
purchase passes on-line.
Andover residents will receive a discount, non residents will pay a higher rate. For example
a 10 pack admisssion pass package will cost an Andover resident $40,00 and a Non-
resident would pay $50.00. User will be assigned a barcode card tied to their account and
scan card to redeem their admission pass upon arrival.

2) Walking Track Packages
Andover Residents - Free and Non -Andover Residents: Monday — Friday 7 am — 4 pm
$2.00 a day or a $50.00 yearly pass. All users required to sign up for the walking track and
receive a scannable barcode card. Sports complex walking track users will enter thru main
sports complex doors. The NW entrance to sports complex doors will remain locked,
Monday — Friday until 4 pm.
3) Andover Resident Package — Complimentary on Annual Basis
Andover Residents receive 12 free admission passes per household per calendar year.
Good towards activities at the Andover Community Center. Must establish account online,
however come into the facility to receive their free passes. Must present ID or utility bill to
qualify for free passes and prove residency. Anyone applying for this package will also
receive the Andover Resident Free Walking Package.
4) Andover Resident Free Activity Days / Community Free Activity Days
Periodically throughout the year, days will be selected where Andover residents who show
their ID receive free admission to an activity of their choice. Andover Resident/Community
Free days would be advertised on monthly activity calendars, city newsletter, social media,
reader boards, etc. The number of monthly, yearly free activities TBD.
5) Reduced Meeting Room Rental Rates for Andover Residents/Businesses
Offer reduced community room meeting rental rates for Andover residents and businesses.
For example, Andover rates would be $25.00/$50.00 per hour, non-residents $35.00/$60.00.
Many factors, such as staff time, costs, ROI and safety were taken into consideration when
coming up these options. With COVID-19 we feel pointing individuals to purchase passes online
rather than presenting cash at check in will aid in the safety of our staff and patrons.
The financial impact of implementing most of these options will include the yearly cost of the
MaxGalaxy Membership Module $1,250.00 per year. Equipment, bar code readers and cards
estimated at $2,000.00. Controlled access to the walking track through the elevator is estimated
at $2,500.00 plus software upgrade.
In closing, the Andover YMCA Community Center Advisory Commission supports adding
additional benefits for Andover Residents to compliment those already established which
include; free afterschool student gym for middle and high school students, free YMCA youth
center programs and free meeting room rental rates for local non-profit organizations.
The advisory commission supports and values ACC staff and acknowledges that once options
are implemented, revisions may need to be made based on feedback and usage.
We look forward to hearing from the city council as to which options they support for staff to
proceed.
