Y to run rec center
Morgan Hill – After four years of negotiations, the city and the local YMCA have reached an agreement to manage the new Indoor Recreation Center – a new approach officials hope will make the IRC the first recreation project built with redevelopment funds that benefits the city’s bottom line.
“This is a time for celebration,” Morgan Hill Mayor Dennis Kennedy said as the city council voted unanimously to approve a joint-management proposal. “This is a wonderful thing.”
Under the agreement, the city and YMCA will sign a five-year operations contract with Morgan Hill holding an option for an additional five years. The city will hire the center’s manager, who will report to both parties, and have final say on all unresolved issues.
The YMCA will staff the center and have a 35-percent stake in any financial gains or losses beyond the annual budget. The center is due to open in September.Â
City leaders and YMCA officials believe this will be the only operating agreement of its kind in California. What will separate the center from the typical municipal recreation facility is an economic model based on annual passes instead of drop-in fees.
An annual pass for an adult will cost $624. A family pass, for two adults and children younger than 18, will cost $876. Members also will be allowed to use other YMCAs in Silicon Valley.
A day-use pass will cost $7. The center is projected to break even in its third year, mostly due to the management expertise of the YMCA.
