INTRODUCED: April 14, 2014 BY: Ami Nawrocki COUNCILPERSON City Clerk’s Office Item # M-1 REGULAR MEETING AGENDA ITEM COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 14, 2014 TO: President Sandra K. Daff and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Steven Meier – Director of Parks and Recreation Department SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING A COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND THE PUEBLO YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, FOR COOPERATION TO OPERATE CERTAIN YOUTH SWIMMING AND BASEBALL PROGRAMS SUMMARY: Attached is a Cooperation Agreement between the City of Pueblo and the Pueblo Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) concerning a recreational program partnership that includes the City’s Learn-to-Swim program and the YMCA’s Youth Baseball program. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: This collaborative proposal was presented to the City Council during the February 18, 2014 Work Session by representatives of the Parks and Recreation Department and the YMCA. Approval to proceed with the development of a cooperation agreement was given by Council. BACKGROUND: This past year, newly appointed Pueblo YMCA CEO Augie Mendoza approached Parks and Recreation Director Steven Meier about the possibility of collaborative opportunities that would benefit both organizations and our community from both a fiscal and service perspective. Late last summer the FTE responsible for the City’s Aquatics programs resigned and left the community. This FTE position was not funded in the 2014 budget. At the present time, with assistance from the Assistant Director, a temporary/part-time employee has been responsible for creating this upcoming summer’s aquatics program plan. Not having to organize, train, and conduct the Learn-to-Swim program allows this individual time to concentrate on other aspects of the summer aquatics program such as recruitment and training of lifeguards, scheduling the open swim sessions, and working with outside organizations wishing to rent a pool for a special event. Beginning in 2014, YMCA will provide swimming lessons for both the City and the YMCA, while the City will organize and conduct youth baseball programs for both the YMCA and the City. City will have complete responsibility and control of the management and operations of the four outdoor swimming pools. The YMCA will be responsible for the hiring and training of all Learn- to-Swim instructors for the program as well as conduct all related program registrations. The City will be responsible for the hiring and training of all Youth Baseball program staff as well as conduct all related program registrations. This collaboration will allow each organization the opportunity to cross promote programs at each other’s facilities. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: All costs associated with promoting and conducting the Learn-to-Swim program will be the responsibility of the YMCA. The City will retain all youth baseball program revenue while the YMCA will retain all Learn-to-Swim program revenue. Program scholarships will be made available in both the Learn-to-Swim and Youth Baseball programs so no one is denied an opportunity to participate. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: Should this Resolution not be approved, the City will be unable to offer a Learn-to-Swim program for the upcoming summer season. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution. PROPOSED MOTION: This Resolution will be placed on the Consent Agenda.
