The partnership opportunity between the YMCA and the City of Redwood City, coupled <br />with the “Our Community Deserves Better” philosophy, would minimize the ongoing <br />operating costs to Redwood City; provide affordable access to local residents; <br />effectively leverage the strengths of the City and the YMCA to reach the best outcome; <br />and involve community partner organizations. <br /> <br />Our collective vision includes a new vibrant and inviting Veterans Memorial Senior <br />Center and a new family YMCA facility. The advantages of partnering on such a project <br />would be: <br /> <br />· New, high quality senior center and senior programs. <br /> <br />· Expanded opportunities for the public to be engaged in healthy living and <br />activities. <br /> <br />· A place for recreation, health and learning. <br /> <br />· Strengthen the community as a desirable place to live, work, play, and visit, <br />thereby contributing to the ongoing economic vitality of Redwood City. <br /> <br />· Programs provided by both partners to combat the obesity epidemic through the <br />development of healthy lifestyles, strong minds, and fit bodies. <br /> <br />· A comprehensive center which focuses on youth recreation activities will lower <br />crime and help our youth develop into contributing members of our community. <br /> <br />· Recreation experiences help older community members continue and improve <br />their life experiences. <br /> <br />· A center that will meet current and future recreational needs of the community. <br /> <br />· An efficient use of valuable resources. <br /> <br />· Long term sustainability. <br /> <br />The Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA), approved by City Council on set forth the <br />procedures and standards for the negotiation of a prospective YMCA of Silicon Valley <br />and City partnership that would establish the following: <br /> <br />1.
