EXPLANATION:
In early 2011, the City sold bonds to create resources to improve Quality of Life facilities. As part of the
bond program $ 8 to $9 million was allocated to Las Palmas Park. The initial estimates for the
conceptual plans at Las Palmas Park show a need for additional funding. The YMCA of San Diego
County -South Bay has expressed a desire to fundraise locally to generate monies to complete the
project. Because the YMCA is a non-profit, they are able to leverage funds by local fundraising
campaigns resulting in more resources for a final product/facility. Staff has prepared a draft MOU
between the City and the YMCA to solidify the partnership and initiate a fundraising campaign.
Prior to initiating a fundraising effort, the City Council and the YMCA board need to take action that
would allow such efforts to take place. The draft MOU was provided to and reviewed by the YMCA for
their consideration at the board meeting scheduled on November 30, 2011. The YMCA board voted to
oceed with the draft MOU.

Update on the Quality of Life Facilities Plan (Community Services)
In 2007, National City established its Strategic Plan with goals to improve quality of life and to achieve fiscal
sustainability. To achieve fiscal sustainability, the strategic plan action 2C states, "Partner with Community
Organizations and Regional Agencies to Pursue Our Legislative Platform and Aggressively Seek Funding from
Local, State, & Federal Sources." To improve quality of life, strategic goal 3 actions include, "Continue to
Provide Recreational Programs and Community Services, Maintain Existing Parks and Public Facilities and
Find Funding to Construct Park Master Plans, Partner with the Port District to Build Aquatic Center, Granger
Park, and Improve Public Access to the Harbor District, and Preserve and Promote Historic Resources and
Cultural Assets."
The City has established partnerships and Council decisions have created the opportunity to expand
partnerships to sustain programs. Established partnerships include the Greater San Diego Boys and Girls
Club in Kimball Park and the YMCA of San Diego County -South Bay Branch (Aquatics Center) in Pepper Park.
In early 2011, the City sold bonds to create resources to improve Quality of Life facilities. At the July 5,
2011 City Council meeting, the Parks, Senior, and Youth Ad Hoc committees were initiated by Council.
Since that date, there have been recreation working group meetings between the City and our potential
partners, the YMCA of San Diego County -South Bay Branch and the Greater San Diego Boys and Girls Club,
to discuss how the City can utilize our bond money to create sustainable quality of life facilities and
programs. Because there are capital resources, but limited operating resources, staff has been discussing
expanding partnerships with local non -profits to sustain operations. In late October and early November
there were Council briefings held between City staff and all Council members to update the progress of the
quality of life facilities plan. The first round of ad hoc meetings took place on November 15th and
November 21s` and included members of the City Council, the Parks, Recreation, and Senior Advisory Board
(PRAB) members (who are National City residents), a Public Art Committee member, and City staff.
Additional updates were provided to PRAB.
City staff provided reporting on, current programs, fees, and participation numbers as well as facility and
park maintenance costs. In addition, there has been conceptual planning done by Kimley Horn and
Associates to incorporate ideas and discussion by City staff, non -profits, and the public. The initial
estimates for the conceptual plans at Las Palmas Park show a need for additional funding. The South Bay
YMCA has expressed a desire to fundraise locally to generate monies to complete the project. Because the
YMCA is a non-profit, they are able to leverage funds by local fundraising campaigns resulting in more
resources for a final product/facility. Staff has prepared a draft MOU between the City and the YMCA to
solidify the partnership and initiate a fundraising campaign.
Prior to initiating a fundraising effort, the City Council and the YMCA board need to take action that would
allow such efforts to take place. The draft MOU was provided to and reviewed by the YMCA for their
consideration at the board meeting scheduled on November 30, 2011. The YMCA board voted to proceed
with the draft MOU.
At the December 6, 2011 meeting, the City Council was provided an update on the YMCA board position
and directed staff to bring the draft MOU forward for Council review in January.
