an automated voice brought to you by Everlett. Mendota will
0:20
take over operations of its YMCA branch after the Illinois
0:23
Valley YMCA announced it will stop funding and managing the
0:26
facility later this year. Mendoda Mayor Dave Bulk presented a
0:32
letter of intent at the Monday May fourth City Council meeting.
0:36
City Attorney Michael Gilfoyle said a separate ordinance will be
0:39
required to officially bring the Mendoda branch under city management.
0:43
Under the proposed agreement, the Illinois Valley YMCA will transfer
0:47
the facility and furnishings to Mendota for one dollar to
0:50
satisfy legal requirements. Until the transfer is complete, all revenues
0:56
from the Mendoda branch, including fees, donations, and sponsors ships,
1:00
will be deposited into a separate account controlled by branch
1:03
staff and the board, not transferred to YMCA accounts. There
1:08
are no mortgages, leans, or any other encumbrances on the land, furnishings,
1:12
or equipment. The letter states the city's takeover preserves the
1:17
YMCA's presence in Mendota and ensures continuity of services during
1:21
the transition.
