MN Premier Vollevball Presentation
MN Premier Volleyball (formerly Anoka Jr.s) presented to the commission and provided
a handout of the presentation. They are a non-profit volleyball club who is looking to
sign a longer-term contract with Andover Community Center and is open to the length of
such contract based on the commissions recommendation. They currently do not host
tournaments and look at tournaments as money-makers and since they are non-profit
they do not host. The proposal out-lines the ideal dates/times for their club, however
again, they are flexible based on the commissions findings just as long as they could
receive 32 hours per week
Action: Erick will contact both MN Premier Volleyball and North Star Volleyball to see if
they can work out an arrangement so that everyone can have as many hours as
requested. An update will be emailed to commission.
YMCA Preschool Discussion
Linda Blackmore discussed the YMCA's desire to run a preschool program out of the
community meeting rooms A & B, which would be open to the public not just YMCA
members. They would get licensed to teach up to 40 students - the first year they
would take a maximum of 20 students utilizing only room B and spilling over to room A
in the event it was not in use by another group therefore allowing room A available for
meetings.

The YMCA has requested to utilize a portion of the concessions stand shelving areas to
keep weekly snacks and refrigeration space for beverages as required by licensing
dept.
Ms. Blackmore indicated that meeting room B would have small tables and chairs and
would remain in room at all times and pushed to sides if room being used
Points that staff made were that the YMCA would need to obtain another food license
beyond what ACC already has for concessions as well as they wondered where the
YMCA staff would meet if rooms were being utilized by preschools. YMCA staff in
07/08 utilized the meeting rooms more than 400 hours.
Action: Staff to prepare a recommendations outline and email to commission members
so that they could review/discuss at next meeting.
Prioritization Policv
A revised prioritization policy was handed out to commission and approved by
commission. The policy will be brought to the Andover City Council for final approval.
The commission that it would be helpful for Erick to send out a form letter to the local
athletic assn's letting them know that if they need to request field house reservations to
submit requests by May 1st. This would avoid the ACC getting calls in mid-season
making it fair to all associations.
Other Business
Staff reminded commission that the North Suburban Home Show will be held at
Community Center on Saturday March 29, 2008 free admission to public, doors open
from 9 am - 4 pm.
Erick commented on the YMCA's summer usage of the field house for camps. The
YMCA currently pays a flat rate of $60.00 per day for one court. Due to the YMCA's
budget being completed for this summer (2008) no rate increase was sought. Erick
would like to review the YMCA's rate later this fall, before the 2009 budget is completed
for a possible rate increase for summer 2009.
Next meeting scheduled for Monday, April 14, 2008 at 7:00 p.m., Andover
Community Center, Meeting Room B.
Meeting Adjourned at 9:56 pm
