E <br /> FEASIBILITY OF YMCA PARTICIPATION IN SWIMMING POOL PROJECT <br /> During the discussion on swimming pool financing at the <br /> September 21 Board of County Commissioners meeting, the <br /> suggestion was made that we consult with the Chapel Hill <br /> YMCA to determine if there could be a viable arrangement with <br /> the YMCA in building and/or operating a swimming pool. <br /> On Wednesday, September 29, Chair Moses Carey and <br /> Manager John Link met with Glenda Alexander, Executive <br /> Director of the Chapel Hill YMCA. During our discussion, we <br /> agreed that the possibility of the YMCA' s participation in <br /> the capital funding of the facility' s construction did not <br /> provide a promising alternative to the present proposal. <br /> However, we agreed that it is possible for the YMCA to <br /> operate and manage the pool. For instance, the YMCA could <br /> propose to operate the swimming pool part of the present <br /> proposal through a management contract with the Triangle <br /> Youth Hockey Association; for the same approximate amount of <br /> expenditures now projected in the proposal. Of course, if <br /> the YMCA' s operational costs were significantly more than <br /> those now projected, the present financial plan would have to <br /> be altered. <br /> In summary, the YMCA' s most realistic involvement would <br /> be as the operational entity under the current proposal. The <br /> YMCA could operate a county pool, but the costs to the county <br /> would virtually be the same as presented in the attached <br /> charts provided to the Board on September 21. <br /> 9/29/93 <br />
