I I I Council Meeting Minutes February 14, 1989 Page 10 Council Business. continued Council Business Nesbett said the monies from rentals will go towards the operational costs of the armory. The residual operational costs are then split Presentation by Army out based upon the utilization of the facility by the community and National Guard for the Guard. Installation of Armory Facility Brandt asked if the facility had separate areas, such as Brooklyn Report 89-35 Park, would only the Guard1s area generate rent for the MSABC or would the entire area be charged to the MSABC. Nesbett said that if the Guard's facilities are used for rental by the City or Community the MSABC would be expected to be reimbursed for operational costs. If an outside organization requested to use both the Guard's and the City's facilities, then the MSABC would prepared a separate lease with these parties for the share of the MSABC's costs. Benke feels an additional meeting should be scheduled to discuss the mechanics of these rental charges. Even though the City would pay a percentage of the operating costs. Williams feels these charges would be less than if the City built their own facility. Cox said it will be determined in the design plans which portions belong to the Armory and which to the City. Benke asked if a facility management board is installed to manage these operational costs. Nesbett said that MSABC will assign a group to manage each armory. When the facility is rented out to outside organizations. this rental results in additional flow of income into the community. The City is given the discretion on the types of organizations allowed to rent the facility. Cox said a senior officer will be installed in the facility to be responsible for handling any difficulties or conflicts which may arise between the National Guard and the City. Benke asked if funding could be advanced since the design phase and completion of the plans would not complete until a year from now. Cox said that once the deed and the irrevocable resolution of commitment is completed. then the Guard can submit their proposal to the Bureau. As soon as the proposal and 75% of the funds is approved then a consultant can be retained. Cox feels there may be some way the City could ask for these funds in advance.
