ARTICLE 3. OPERATIONS 
 
3.01 
Operations in General 
 
The YMCA agrees to manage and operate the Center in a professional, efficient 
and businesslike manner, similar to other YMCA operations. The YMCA shall act 
as the general clearing house, overseer, coordinator, and promoter of recreation, 
fitness, safety and therapy programs offered in the Center and act as the City’s 
de-facto recreation department. 
 
The Center will be available to all regardless of age, race, creed, sex, marital 
status, national origin, political affiliation, religious preference, physical handicap 
or ancestry. The YMCA will not discriminate. Individuals can purchase a

YMCA membership that provides ongoing use or purchase a daily pass 
membership which allows day use. Individuals who choose to participate in 
YMCA programs are not required to be a member. 
 
The YMCA's community service delivery mode includes youth recreational sports 
leagues for children three (3) years of age to teenagers. The YMCA shall operate 
youth sports leagues, sport clinics and sports camps.  Youth sports leagues will be 
available to general public regardless of member status.   
 
YMCA will operate the Center under the direction of a Board of Directors 
specifically for   the Northwest Family YMCA. The City shall be entitled to 
appoint one (1) representative to serve on the Northwest Family YMCA Branch 
Board of Directors for the Center during the term of this Agreement. In addition, 
a designated City of El Mirage Council Member will be named as ex-officio of the 
Northwest Family YMCA Branch Board of Directors. 
 
All expenses for the operations of the Center will be paid by the YMCA. 
Operations include all personnel, supplies, promotion, insurance, and 
miscellaneous materials necessary to serve members, guests, and spectator who 
utilize the Center or participate in YMCA programs. In addition to any City and/or 
YMCA provided subsidy of resident rates/fees/charges the YMCA shall provide 
scholarships and/or other forms of financial assistance for the programs or 
qualifying members as per established practice for all other YMCA facilities and 
members. Scholarships for membership and programs shall be publicized by the 
City and the YMCA and made readily and quickly available for those who cannot 
afford the full cost of participating.  
 
In complying with its obligations and responsibilities herein, the YMCA shall not 
employ or contract with any person(s) convicted of a sex crime, regardless of 
age or sex of the victim and shall not knowingly allow an employee of a contractor, 
or subcontractor to work on the premises who has been convicted of a sex crime, 
regardless of age or sex of the victim. 
 
It is the goal of the YMCA and City to maximize the usage of the Center. Neither the 
YMCA nor the City desires for the operations of the Center to require operating 
subsidy from the City to balance the annual operating costs of the Center.  It is the 
understanding of both the YMCA and the City that there exists a correlation with the 
number of membership units maintained through a given year and the cost of 
operating the Center. In calendar years where the Northwest Valley Family YMCA 
net income/profit (before reserves, general administration, capital, and debt charges)

exceeds $250,000 the YMCA shall compensate the City $100,000 to be paid by April 
1st following the end of the calendar year. 
 
 
 
A. User Fees, Programs Schedule, and Budget 
 
The specific programming, user fees and scope of services to be provided by the 
YMCA are set forth in the Scope of Services and Operations Exhibit attached to this 
Agreement. The Scope of Services and Operations Exhibit may be revised from time 
to time as the Parties see fit without altering the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the 
end of _________ of each calendar year the City shall submit to the YMCA for the 
following calendar year requested dates for scheduled City use of the Center.  The 
City will  be responsible for incidental costs associated with the use of the Center, 
i.e. lifeguards, janitorial. Usage of the Center for City events cannot conflict, 
compete or be similar to programs being offered by the YMCA. The YMCA shall 
consider the City's submitted information in preparing the annual schedule. 
 
Prior to the end of _________ of each calendar year, the YMCA and the City shall 
discuss proposed programs that will be mutually beneficial to the community.  
The YMCA shall produce a schedule for a seasonal brochure of programs available 
to the community.  The City will distribute this brochure through any and all 
means necessary to promote recreational offerings to the general public. 
 
B. Maintenance Obligations of YMCA 
 
Annually before the end of February, the City and the YMCA will meet at the 
Center and perform a facility walkthrough. At that time, the City and the 
YMCA will outline all planned maintenance needs for the Center and agree to 
the responsibilities. A timeline will be developed, and confirmation of both the 
City and YMCA's responsibilities will be formalized by both parties by July of 
each year. 
 
The YMCA agrees to maintain the Center and the moveable equipment provided 
within the Center, and all parts thereof, in good condition and repair and in as 
safe a condition as its operation will reasonably permit, and to make all repairs 
thereto which may be reasonably necessary for this purpose. It is the expectation 
and goal of both the YMCA and the City that the movable equipment 
maintenance, typical daily maintenance, preventative maintenance, Center 
finishes maintenance and replacement, and capital fixed asset maintenance repair

and replacement will be completed in a timely, efficient manner (no longer than 
14 days from the time of breakdown).

for any damage to property belonging to YMCA, its members, employees, agents,

notice of the Force Majeure in the manner required by this Agreement. The party shall 
use due diligence to remedy the effects of Force Majeure as soon as reasonably possible.

reasonably necessary to overcome the effect of the Force Majeure event.

covenant, condition or provision does not materially prejudice either YMCA or City in 
connection with the rights and obligations contained in the valid covenants, conditions 
or provisions of this agreement.

to this Agreement and such party fails to cure its nonperformance as set

forth in Sections 11.01 and 11.02, such party will be in default.  In the event 
of such default, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement 
immediately for cause and will have all remedies that are available to it at

performance.    In the event of such termination for cause, payment shall be

17106.  The provisions of this Agreement for payment of funds by the City 
shall be effective when funds are appropriated for purposes of this 
Agreement and are actually available for payment.  The City shall be the 
sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this 
Agreement and the City shall keep YMCA fully informed as to the 
availability of funds for this Agreement.  The obligation of the City to make
