Center(HLC); and,
WHEREAS, MGMC will be a tenant in the HLC building while occupying approximately

WHEREAS, the agreement calls for MGMC to provide funding for the construction of the
facility as well as ongoing financial support for the operations for a limited number of years of
operation; and,
WHEREAS, the major provisions of the proposed agreement are:
• MGMC will contribute$7,000,000 towards the construction of 3,221 square feet for
its tenant space,therapy pool,and other shared spaces within the Healthy Life Center
building. This total will be distributed in four payments based on specific
performance indicators.

costs of the HLC building and projected operating deficit. The first payment will be
$105,000, which will be increased by 3% each succeeding fiscal year. The initial
payment will be due in the first fiscal year that an individual is hired to manage the
facility.
• MGMC will be responsible to pay for any improvements to its tenant space and
purchase any equipment after the HLC is constructed.
• MGMC is responsible for 100% of its operating expenses (staffing, supplies, etc.).
• Rather than collect funds from MGMC in the future to help cover the cost for the
building replacement items,the City will establish a Replacement Fund derived from
the operating revenues each year of the HLC to be used to replace items.
• The City will be responsible for maintenance and repairs of the MGMC's tenant
space (custodial services, painting walls, plumbing, HVAC, electric)
• The term of the agreement is for 15 years after the HLC is first opened. After this
initial term,the agreement can be extended or renegotiated by mutual consent of the
parties.
• Within 30 days after the agreement is terminated,MGMC is required to remove all
of its possessions/equipment from its tenant space and the City will have the right to
utilize the space without any compensation to MGMC.
• The agreement provides for a "hold harmless" covenant, along with insurance
requirements in order to protect both the City and MGMC.
