3, 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. After talking with Linda with the YMCA it was not be
possible for the YMCA to add fees for the field house to members billing. After
some it was decided to go with one fee schedule for all users Y member or not.
They are $125.00 family, $100.00 dual and $75.00 single. The city will
administer all fees to be collected. There will be a prorated pass available for
2005 with full dues starting in 2006. All fees will be plus $25.00 for non-Andover
residents, Mr, Jim Dickenson stated that he would talk with the Metro YMCA
about possibly having them collect dues from their members through there billing
system,
4. Facility Manual- The first draft ofthe 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. This item
continues to get some discussion, although no major changes have occurred at this
time.
5. Concessions - The commission discussed the YMCA's policy on allowing their
birthday parties to bring in there own food. City staff was concemed on what sort of
impact this would have on the concession sales. After some discussion Ms. Linda
Blackmore said she would be willing to have there parties go through the concessions
stand for there food and beverage needs, and a no outside food or beverage policy
will be put into place for the multi purpose rooms. City staff will work with YMCA
staff to ensure all there parties are taking care of when it comes to food and beverage.
6. Other Business - Traci with Youth First let the commission know that their plans
for this fall will be to have a staff member at the Community Center from 3:30-
5:30pm every Tuesday and Thursday. At first this staff member will just hang out and
talk with the kids and organize activities, Once some time has passed and Youth First
gets a feel for what kids are looking for, they may get into more structured activities.
The commission expressed there thanks to Traci and they look forward to the
partnership with Youth First.
