AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
City Council Workshop Meeting
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John A. Lobaito, City Administrator
FOR: October 15, 2001 City Council Workshop Meeting
RE: Recreation Center
At their July 10, 2001 meeting, the Parks & Recreation Committee discussed the
proposed Recreation Center. Specific discussion centered on reducing the size of the
facility and funding sources to pay for the construction. As a measure to reduce the
cost of the facility, a consensus was reached to postpone the construction of the
indoor pool. No consensus was reached regarding the funding mechanism. Instead,
staff was directed to explore all funding options.
The available funding options to the city remain unchanged from options previously
presented. The attached memorandum from the Assistant City Administrator
outlines the funding options and potential effect each option may have on the city.
The City of McHenry finds itself at a crossroad in planning for the future recreational
needs of the community. The city’s ability to keep pace with its desire to be a
recreational community is being impeded in part by insufficient facilities to conduct
programs. Although it has been a stated policy of the City Council for no net gain in
recreational programs, the challenge has been to find space to operate the existing
programs.
If no decisions are made on the recreational facility, it is possible that the City Council
will be discussing the need to reduce the number of programs sometime in the future
due to lack of available space.
It is recommended that the City Council determine the feasibility of constructing a
recreational center in McHenry and determine what funding mechanism(s) will be
used to pay for the facility so that the city can effectively plan for future recreational
needs.
