ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By
Resolution Acknowledging Acoustic Panels Donation for Tina Allard, City Clerk
YMCA Building REVIEWED BY
Cal Portner, City Administrator
ACTION REQUESTED
Accept by resolution a donation of acoustic panels for the city-owned YMCA facility valued at$8,210
pursuant to Minnesota State Statute X465.03. Statute requires that resolutions are adopted by a 2/3
majority vote.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The WHY Church,located at the Elk River YMCA,proposes to donate the cost and installation of
acoustic panels for the YMCA gym. Donations must be accepted by the City Council as the city owns
the Elk River YMCA facility.
Improved acoustics in the gym will make the space more suitable for a wide variety of events,including
athletic activities. The WHY Church and the YMCA met with two acoustic panel vendors. The
recommended product is from Acoustic Associates,which offers the best noise reduction rating,is the
most visually appealing, and is designed to withstand typical gym activities (e.g.,impact from basketballs,
volleyballs, etc.). The YMCA of the Twin Cities has contracted with Acoustic Associates on past projects
and recommends them highly.
The proposed installation would place the acoustic panels 20 feet above the floor with the height
dimensions of the vertical windows in the gym. The panels are one-inch thick. The proposed project
would complete the first half of the gym to the current divider. The second half of the gym could be
completed in the near future,if desired.
The WHY Church is also working with city staff and the YMCA to install storage cabinets in the gym,
which would be an additional donation for the consent agenda in the near future.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the YMCA or the City of Elk River with this donation.
