3. Grand Opening - The commission was briefed on the plans for the grand
opening. A committee has been set up with Y and City staff. The program will
run from 1 - 4 pm on September 10, 2005. There will be a short program
followed by open gym and skating. There will also be food and soda available
in the lobby. City staffwill continue to update as plans develop. It was noted
that the first football game is the night before, and that would be a good place
to help get the word out.
4. Facility Manual- The first draft of the manual was distributed to the
commission at an earlier meeting. The commission requested that everyone be
sent the word document via e-mail, so changes could be made.
5. Field House - Pass -
The commission was made aware of a need for a field house yearly pass.
There has been interest from YMCA members to obtain such a pass so they
wouldn't need cash every time they come for open gym. Discussion from
prior meetings was continued. An idea to make a pass available to all YMCA
members was discussed at length. The commission has set monthly prices for
YMCA members at $7.50 family, $6.25 dual, and $4.00 single. The thought is
that Y members would be given the opportunity to purchase these passes and
have them added to there dues they pay the Y. The Y would administer this
fee and cut a check back to the city. Non-members would have the
opportunity to purchase a seasonal pass for $125.00 family, $100.00 dual, and
$75.00 single. These fees would be paid directly to the city.

6. Other Business - The commission discusses ways to make the facility more
marketable. Discussion on the brochure has been finalized and city staff is
working on some ideas. There was a motion by Mr. Frank Kellogg for the
addition of a marketing person to the city staff. After discussion on possibly
making this a part time position, intern or incentive based position it was
approved unanimously to recommend a marketing position.
Mr. Sutherland updated the commission on the food/beverage policy at the
Community Center. The city's policy is that they don't allow outside food and
beverage into the facility. That's what the concessions/vending is for. The
YMCA has an open door policy as people are allowed to bring in there own
food/beverage for parties etc. This concerns city staff on what sort of effect it
will have on concession sales; along with the fact it will be hard to keep it's
policy on not allowing outside food into the building.
7. Meeting Adjourned-
