Title
Consider Authorizing Execution of Second Addendum to the Recreation Funding Donation Agreement with Northfield Hospital & Clinics.
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council authorizes execution of the attached Second Amendment to the agreement with Northfield Hospital & Clinics for a donation to fund recreation services July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.
Summary Report:
As noted in the City + Hospital Playbook, the NH+C “has a long tradition of making an annual contribution to the City of Northfield for activities that support community health or youth, or both.” It goes on to note that “Provided there is financial ability, the intention is to continue a gift each year in a standard and predictable manner.”
The funding provided to the City is intended to be used for the recreation contract with the school district. The previous agreement is attached (attachment #1). The previous agreement was approved on December 7, 2021, and ran from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2022.
The delay in approval was due to the development of the Playbook. The new agreement and financial impacts will be provided in a supplemental memo prior to Tuesday’s meeting.
Alternative Options:
None recommended.
