· Programs provided by both partners to combat the obesity epidemic through the <br />development of healthy lifestyles, strong minds, and fit bodies <br />· A comprehensive center which focuses on youth recreation activities to help our <br />youth develop into contributing members of our community. <br />· Recreation experiences help older community members continue and improve <br />their life experiences <br />· Facilities that will meet current and future recreational needs of the community <br />· An efficient use of valuable resources <br />· Long term sustainability <br />Together, this vision would strengthen Redwood City as a desirable place to live, work, <br />play, and visit. <br />The recommended Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) sets forth the procedures <br />and standards for the negotiation of a prospective YMCA of Silicon Valley and City <br />partnership that would establish the following: <br />1. Development of the Project as it moves through the predevelopment, entitlement, <br />design, and construction processes. <br />2. Sharing of Project costs/expenses. <br />3. Parameters by which future legal arrangements could be structured for the <br />mutual benefit of the Parties. <br />The ENA allows the City and YMCA of Silicon Valley to exclusively negotiate the details <br />of the Project but does not obligate the City to approve any Project. If the ENA is <br />approved by City Council, then a CEQA review will be necessary to study the Project, <br />which is to build all new facilities on the Project Site as shown in “Exhibit A” of the ENA. <br />Further, CEQA review will consider meaningful alternatives to the Project, including the <br />option of “not to proceed” with the Project. <br />The ENA also defines the terms; identifies Project teams; clarifies that the CEQA <br />consultant will be selected solely by the City but that the YMCA-SV will provide fifty <br />percent reimbursement of costs to the City if the Project proceeds; provides for design <br />and construction processes; and makes funding commitments. <br />Future agreements would need to be negotiated and approved, if there is a Project, and <br />would include a Ground Lease; Development Agreement; Rights of Access Agreement; <br />and Operating Agreement. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to sign the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement at this time and <br />direct staff to consider other alternatives. <br /> <br />6.1.B. - Page 3
