HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The YMCA and the City address critical community needs by offering programs and services for all ages, abilities, and income. The City and the YMCA are in negotiation for exchanging properties at 2130 Summit Blvd. and 3215 Langley Ave. respectively, each desiring to build new facilities in order to further meet the needs of the community by offering additional programs and services.
Furthermore, the City currently owns and operates the Vickrey Resource Center, but in an effort to reduce duplication of services, desires to allow the YMCA to provide some of these services at that location. Further, the YMCA desires to build a new health facility on the adjacent premises. The term of this agreement is for 30 years with renewal options for two (2) successive 10-year terms.
The YMCA Executive Director, Michael Bodenhausen, and City Parks and Recreation Director, Brian Cooper have worked diligently over the past 3 months to negotiate and formulate two agreements:
1. A real property exchange.
2. YMCA use and program agreement for the Vickrey Resource Center.
The use and program agreement outline the terms and conditions for which the YMCA and City will be bound for the leasing of space within the Vickrey Center. It further outlines the programmatic shift from the City to the YMCA, the space needed to administer these programs, and the lease arrangements and terms. Any athletic programming deficiencies that arise by the YMCA vacating Langley Avenue will be addressed collaboratively between the City Parks and Recreation Department and the YMCA.
PRIOR ACTION:
None.
FUNDING:
The YMCA will pay the City $2,000 per month for the use of the portion of the Vickrey Center. The After-school and Summer Camp Programs will be conducted by the YMCA rather than the City. Therefore, no revenue or expenditure transactions for those programs will occur, thus having no financial effect to the City. The remaining programs currently provided by the City at the Vickrey Center will continue to be administered by the City of Pensacola.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
