Financial OverviewNext Steps
Recreation space designed to host City and Community events
|FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
26
Context: Community Centre and Library
• Historically, Vaughan community centres range $395-$425 per sq.ft. facility construction excluding land
• Annual Maintenance and Operating Costs average $1.6MM
• ATMP gave consideration to purchase land in 2014/15 with construction in 2021/22
• Financial sustainability is a key priority for the City therefore one of the primary considerations in advancing the development of the VMC community centre and library is ensuring that it is economically beneficial for the City
Funding Partnership: YMCA
The YMCA has two simple core funding principles that have been proven to create successful and sustainable partnerships with municipalities in the GTA
1. Land is never purchased2. Capital is derived from three sources
• 33 per cent YMCA• 33 per cent Municipality• 33 per cent Other Levels of Government
|FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

28Recreation space designed to host City and Community events
• The City will lease the City library and recreation spaces from the YMCA.
• The City will become both a major funding partner and tenant through a lease agreement
• Up to 2/3 government funding contribution is common for YMCA partnerships
