STAFF REPORT
The YMCA of the San Bernardino Valley is proposing to assume the
operation of the City-owned Rudy C. Hernandez Center. Since the
first proposal was received in May, staff has met with YMCA
representatives, and has completed an analysis of current Hernandez
Center operations . (This analysis and letters received from the
YMCA are attached. )
At this time, the YMCA' s intention is to close its Downtown
facility and relocate those programs to the Hernandez Center. It
would also operate the existing City programs, with some limited
exceptions . The YMCA has not expressed any interest in a shared
operation.
If the YMCA were to operate the Hernandez Center, this would result
in a $111, 300 savings to the General Fund. Until the terms of the
final agreement are negotiated, staff will be unable to determine
whether the assumption of the Hernandez Center by the YMCA will
result in an overall enhancement of service levels to city
residents .
The recommended motions will request the City Attorney to review
the legal issues surrounding the use of the facility by a non-city
entity, and direct staff to negotiate the parameters of an
agreement with the YMCA.

Re: Proposal to Move YMCA to Hernandez Center
Dear Shauna:
As you know, the YMCA is in the r_rocesc of certain long_ranp? nlannivg �,vhirh invo!ves the ac in?Sitioll
or build-out of a gymnasium in the downtown area. You and your staff have been working with the Y's
executive director, Tony Mino, and me concerning a proposal for the YMCA to move from its current facility
on Sixth and Mountain View to the Hernandez Center. I enclose a copy of our proposal for your ready
reference.
We believe that the YMCA is at a critical period in its 114 year history in the City of San Bernardino.
Currently the YMCA provides the only gym and recreational programs in the downtown area of San
Bernardino. All other private clubs such as Golds have closed and moved out of the city or to the Hospitality
Lane area.
To continue to be a viable organization and expand the programs currently being offered by the YMCA,
the Board of Directors of the YMCA has determined a need for new facilities which include a gymnasium.
The Hernandez Center offers us this opportunity and maintains the YMCA in the downtown area.
We believe our plan will benefit the City of San Bernardino in two ways: First, the City shows an annual
operating deficit for the Hernandez Center facility in excess of $100,000, which will be eliminated. Second,
the City's records demonstrate that the facility is not being used anywhere near capacity, and that it fails to
provide adequate opportunities for youth recreation and related activities.
The YMCA YMCA pro Ia.^ _e„a..d Y,_'brvi. for. Fwv , and 'he City . 11 ° .;2lto what appears to
be a financial millstone. Also, our proposal contemplates the construction of racquetball courts in addition to
the other facilities at the Hernandez Center.
The YMCA has a policy of not turning away potential members based upon an inability to pay. Further,
we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin or religious affiliation. Thus, there will be
no loss to those members of our community who rely on public-provided recreation.
The Hernandez Center currently offers the following programs that would be continued by the YMCA:
Track & Field
Table Games
Basketball Leagues
Recreational Basketball
Youth Club
Volleyball (Rec./League)
Adult Exercise
Shauna Clark

Camp Allota Fun
County Schools
In addition, we would expand these programs to also offer to the city's residents:
Youth Weight Training
AC uli Weight 1 taming
Weight Room
Roller Hockey
Swim Team
Karate
Biddy Sports (3-6 yrs. old)
Racquetball/Handball
Gymnastics
Our proposal makes sense for the YMCA and for the City. However, we need to move expeditiously
toward finalizing an agreement. To that end, the Y's board of directors has asked that I write you this letter to
request that a formal resolution for the Common Council be formulated and agendized for hearing. I would
ask that this be done for a hearing to occur before November 15 of this year.
We would request that the City Council direct City Staff to negotiate the terms of this arrangement based
upon the model which was developed between the City of San Bernardino and the YMCA for its uptown
facility at Perris Hill Park. We envision this agreement to establish a long term use of the Hernandez Center
by the YMCA with a level of programs offered to all residents of the City of San Bernardino acceptable to
Council and Staff.
We appreciate the past support that the City Council and its staff have given the YMCA and we look
forward to a new relationship in the area of joint enterprise between the municipal and private sector.
Please advise at your earliest opportunity. Thank you.
Very truly yours,

PROGRAM PERSPECTIVE
YOUTH SPORTS:
PHILOSOPHY
The YMCA Youth Sports program is a unique program with a special philosophy.
There is accumulating evidence that many youth sports programs may be more harmful
than helpful to the kids who play. Too much emphasis on winning at all cost result in
physical and emotional injury and discourage kids from developing positive sports
attitudes for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Playing fair,fitness,friends and fun are the cornerstones to YMCA Youth Sports.
Youth sports programs provide a modem vehicle to build self-esteem and instill values in
our youth that will last. In tough situations and tough times of trouble, self-esteem helps
you to make the right choices,to act out of strength instead of weakness. Teaching kids
to value themselves,families, communities and the future helps kids to say no to drugs
and yes to positive attitudes and outlooks on tomorrow's world. Perhaps that's why,"Y's
Kids Don't Do Drugs."
Pride, Confidence,Success. That's what youth in YMCA programs achieve. Spirits
are lifted and dreams become reality when kids sink that first basket or make it across the
pool for the very first time.
*NO ONE is denied an opportunity to play because of their inability to pay.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE
TO: Shauna Clark, City Administrator
FROM: Lori Sassoon, Senior Administrative Analyst
DATE: October 15, 1996
SUBJECT: YMCA Operation of the Hernandez Center
COPIES: Annie Ramos, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services; Tony
Mino, San Bernardino Valley YMCA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The YMCA of the San Bernardino Valley has approached the City with a proposal to move its
Downtown Branch operations to the Rudy C. Hernandez Center, and assume the existing City
programs. The purpose of this memo is to examine some of the issues surrounding this
proposal.
Summary of Current Programs
The Hernandez Center is currently operated by Parks, Recreation, and Community Services.
It provides a wide array of services to youth, adults, and senior citizens in a low to moderate
income area. A complete list of programs and activities is attached (Attachment A).
The center is staffed by one full-time manager and three part-time employees. During the
summer months the number of staff increases, allowing the center to operate from 7:30 a.m. to
9:00 p.m. during those months.
The Hernandez Center offers city-wide youth leagues, city-wide adult leagues, and community
center functions throughout the year. While a large number of activities are offered, basketball
and volleyball have the largest numbers of participants. Community service programs, such
as food distribution, WIC, and summer lunches and snacks for youth are also well-attended, as
are seasonal activities and special events. Other activities are designed for smaller groups, such
as activities offered in the game room, exercise classes, Cub Scouts, etc.
Parks, Recreation and Community Services estimates a net operating budget of$111,300 for the
Hernandez Center. The complete budget for the center is attached (Attachment B).
Background on the YMCA
The Young Men's Christian Association of the San Bernardino Valley was originally organized
in 1883. The organization serves the areas of San Bernardino, Highland, Loma Linda, Rialto,
Hernandez Center
Page 2
Colton, Grand Terrace, Bloomington, and the local mountains.
The YMCA operates its facilities and programs on a membership basis, though services are also
offered to non-members. Approximately one-third of the organization's revenue is generated
by memberships, according to financial statements. Youth memberships are $35 per year, plus
a $10 one-time fee to join. Adult memberships are $216, plus a $50 one-time fee to join.
According to YMCA literature, individuals are not denied memberships because of an inability
to pay.
The Downtown YMCA Branch offers a number of athletic activities (Attachment Q. The most
popular activity is the adult Health and Fitness program, which offers workout facilities to
approximately 550 adults per day. Other popular activities include biddy sports (for children),
basketball, roller hockey, and a teen center that operates from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday
through Saturday on a year-round basis.
The YMCA is seeking to expand its facilities, and to obtain the use of a gymnasium. The
Downtown Branch does not have a gym facility; basketball and other sports are played in a large
multi-purpose room.
YMCA Proposal to Operate the Hernandez Center
The YMCA is proposing to operate the Hernandez Center under a contractual arrangement with
the City. The key components of the proposal are as follows:
1. Current YMCA Downtown Branch programs would be relocated to the Hernandez
Center.
2. The City would no longer fund the operation of the facility.
3. Programs currently provided by the City at the Hernandez Center would be operated by
the YMCA, with some very limited exceptions. (The YMCA proposal may eliminate
the arts and crafts program and the film festival.)
4. The City would continue to operate the Senior Nutrition program and year round lunch.
Analysis of Key Issues
Staff has not noted any concerns regarding the quality of services offered at the Hernandez
Center. The facility is well-maintained, and many programs are well-attended. Since quality
of current services is not an issue, three key issues remain:
Hernandez Center
Page 3
Can additional, new services be provided for residents through a partnership with the
YMCA?
Can a partnership result in a savings to the City without sacrificing service level or
quality?
- Would access to the Hernandez Center be limited to those with YMCA memberships?
The issue of YMCA memberships is an important one that requires further discussion and
clarifications with YMCA staff. While the YMCA's policy would seem to allow open access
to the public regardless of memberships, many residents may feel reluctant to express their
inability to pay. These individuals may feel awkward about using the facility, and may withdraw
from programs. Clearly, the City would not want to limit access to the Hernandez Center in
any way.
The YMCA's primary motivation in seeking a partnership is its need for a quality facility with
a gymnasium. It maintains that the YMCA will be able to maximize the use of these facilities.
For example, while the gym is not currently used until 12:00 p.m. weekdays, the YMCA would
use the gym beginning at 6:00 a.m. every day.
The YMCA proposal calls for the consolidation of services currently offered at two locations
by two organizations into a single location. It is not likely that any additional services would
be provided to San Bernardino residents. In some cases, such as with basketball activities, there
may be a loss of some programming as activities taking place in two facilities are consolidated
into one facility.
It should be noted that the YMCA is interested in assuming control of the facility for the long
term. In my past telephone conversations with Tony Mino, YMCA Chief Executive Officer,
he indicated that the group's goal would be to eventually close their current Sixth Street location
and make improvements at the Hernandez Center. These improvements would include building
racquetball courts, expanding the weight room area, and enclosing the swimming pool (this
would obviously require City approval).
Given these intentions, it would seem that the YMCA would be most interested in a long-term
agreement, since it would ultimately be relinquishing its current facilities. However, such an
agreement would seem to amount to the City "giving away" the facility, rather than entering into
a partnership for its operation. In addition to policy issues, this may raise legal issues, since
the deed of sale for the land specifies that it is to be used for "park purposes". This issue will
need further review by the City Attorney's Office.
Hernandez Center
Page 4
The most obvious benefit to the City from YMCA operation of the Hernandez Center would be
the savings to the General Fund of $111,300. Current costs, including personnel, facilities
maintenance, etc., would be absorbed by the YMCA. It is unclear if the YMCA would retain
the current employees. Again, this issue would need to be clarified before proceeding with an
agreement.
One issue that has not been considered is that of ug ality of service. It is difficult to determine
how the quality of services to the community would be impacted by the YMCA's operation of
the Hernandez Center. Both Parks, Recreation, and Community Services and the YMCA
currently offer excellent services to San Bernardino residents. If an agreement is reached with
the YMCA, it should include provisions for oversight by Parks staff to insure that the quality
of the center is preserved.
Recommendations
The Hernandez Center is an excellent example of the high-quality services provided by the City
to the residents of San Bernardino. However, given the continued reductions in General Fund
revenues, other alternatives for providing those services must be considered.
The idea of partnership with the YMCA should be pursued further. Because this is a new idea,
an agreement for a limited amount of time is recommended to allow for evaluation and/or
reconsideration in the near future. It is recommended that any discussions regarding a long-term
agreement or YMCA-funded improvements to the center be undertaken after a successful
partnership has operated for some time. In addition, the issue of YMCA membership
requirements is a critical one that needs to be resolved before moving forward with any
agreement.
In order to determine if there is support for such a partnership, it is recommended that we bring
this matter forward to the Mayor and Council for approval in concept. In the meantime, if you
agree, I will schedule a meeting with Parks and YMCA staff to discuss all related issues in
greater detail.

RUDY C. HERNANDEZ COMMUNITY CENTER
BUDGET SUMMARY
The Rudy C. Hernandez Community Center is one of the department's largest facilities
and operates Monday through Friday, and seasonally on Saturdays and Sundays. The
department recognizes the values of recreation and has clearly observed the benefits
of recreation in the lives of our participants and residents in the Hernandez Center
neighborhood. The site provides positive alternatives to drugs, alcohol,and gangs and
successfully intervenes in the lives of youth to promote a positive life style.
The programs offered at the center build positive images, character, self esteem,
personal growth, and create strong family units. The physical fitness, healthy attitudes
and values that are implanted in the youngsters and participants at the facility breed
responsible adults at a minimum cost to the city and society.
The net expenditure for the operations for the Rudy C. Hernandez Center is $111,297.

Dear Shauna:
The YMCA of San Bernardino Valley is very pleased to submit a proposal to assist
the City of San Bernardino in the delivery of community service programs to youth and
families.
One of the best kept secrets in our area is the major impact that our local YMCA is
having on all age levels of families in the community. Our YMCA provides many healthy
activities that help us think more highly of ourselves and others. Very few realize that
every week our YMCA serves approximately 5,000 individuals of all ages in value-
focused and family-centered programs. Included among these are child care, teen
activities, sports and fitness programs (basketball, roller hockey, karate, gymnastics,
dance, swimming, and weight training).
At the YMCA, children and families are our highest priority. The teaching of
values, teamwork, self-esteem, confidence, and leadership are the foundation of our
programming efforts. Regardless of circumstance or means, the YMCA gives everyone
the chance to succeed and reach their fullest potential. The Downtown YMCA serves
over 600 children in and around the Downtown area.
As you know, the YMCA has been committed to the San Bernardino and
surrounding communities for the last 114 years. Even with these accomplishments the
YMCA needs to expand its facilities to meet the growing need for community service

programs. This is one of the major reasons the YMCA would like to work with the City of
San Bernardino. The City has facilities that the YMCA feels it could operate for the city
meeting two very important needs. The first need would be that the YMCA would be able
to expand and enhance its programs in Downtown San Bernardino. The second need
would be that the City of San Bernardino would save dollars by not having to pay for the
operation of the Hernandez Center (Second and Sierra Way).
The Metropolitan Board of Directors of the YMCA of San Bernardino would
consider moving some or all of the Downtown Branch operations to the Hernandez
Center. The YMCA is in need of a Full Gymnasium to operate its year round youth
basketball program and begin a much requested adult basketball program. The
gymnasium would also give us the opportunity to expand other programs such as karate,
gymnastics, volleyball, teen dances, weight training, etc. The new gymnasium and the
combination of our other facilities (Swim Team utilizes the pool at Valley College, Roller
Hockey Rink is located at the Uptown Branch at Perris Hill Park) gives the youth and
families in our community a wide variety of activities to participate in.
Another key item that will enhance the Hernandez Center and the surrounding
community would be the usage of the facility by Downtown Business people. The YMCA
currently has over 500 business men and women who utilize the current facility two to
three days a week.
Thanks to strong community and business support, good stewardship and
dynamic programs the YMCA has expanded services in a cost effective and financially
responsible manner to serve children and families today and in generations to come.
The YMCA would like to thank you for your efforts in creating a viable and cost
effective way for the YMCA and the City to offer community programs.
Sincerely,
C�

RUDY C. HERNANDEZ COMMUNITY CENTER
RUDY C. HERNANDEZ CENTER
The Rudy C. Hernandez Center was dedicated and opened on March 22, 1980. The facility was
built with Department of Housing and Urban Development grant in the amount of$ 1,309,900
(CDBG Funds). The funding source obligates the City to operate the center for the primary
benefit of low and moderate income.
The center was named after Rudy C. Hernandez. Mr. Hernandez passed away in 1978, two
years prior to the opening of the facility. Rudy C. Hernandez was born and raised in the
Meadowbrook Community. Mr. Hernandez worked for the City of San Bernardino in the Street
Department for over 20 years. In 1949, Rudy Hernandez married Miss Rosie Gonzales and they
established their residence in the Meadowbrook Community, raising their five children. He
involved himself in the church and community with special emphasis on the youth of
Meadowbrook and was committed, with purpose, to this effort throughout his life. He served
as Chairman of the Meadowbrook Community Organization and Christ the King Church Parish
Council, again with emphasis on youth involvement in sports, where he actively participated in
providing guidance, counsel and motivation to the youth.
MEADOWBROOK PARK
Hernandez Center is located on the site of Meadowbrook Park. The downtown Meadowbrook
Park was the City's first public park. It was also the site of the first public swimming pool,
at the time, an unlined, mud-bottomed pond. The park was the product of the inspiration and
efforts of Mrs. Henry Goodcell a popular and energetic school teacher. At the turn of the
century she made up her mind that something had to be done about what was then called "Tin
Can Alley." With members of the local Women's Clubs, she organized a clean-up day. The
City furnished wagons and teams to haul off the debris. A small bandstand was constructed and
a flight of stairs built as an entry to the swimming pond.
LAND TITLE
The land upon which the park and center are located was originally owned by the Riverside
Land Company. Their primary interest in the property was for water rights. In 1906 the land
was conveyed to the City of San Bernardino except for the water rights. The document of
conveyance expressly obligated the City to use the land for park purposes. Should the land be
used for other than park purposes it would revert back to the Riverside Land Company. This
obligation has been reinforced in subsequent communications as recently as 1978. It should also
be noted that the Municipal Code defines parks as "all grounds, roadways, avenues, park
facilities, municipal parks and playground areas or portions thereof, under the supervision of the
Parks and Recreation Department."
CURRENT STATUS
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has successfully operated the Rudy
C. Hernandez Center since it opened in 1980. The department provides a wide array of services
to youth, adults and seniors, serving many of the low and moderate income families in the area.
Attendance at the facility tops over 75,000 annually. Part of the success of this facility is the
result of the collaborations that have been built with other public agencies as well as the private
sector to augment or offer programs that would not otherwise be possible. The facility is
heavily scheduled with limited available open time.
Y.M.C.A. PROPOSAL
The Y.M.C.A. has submitted a proposal to the City Administrator's Office regarding the
Y.M.C.A. taking over the operations of the Hernandez Center. The Y.M.C.A.'s proposal
suggests a savings to the City if their proposal is accepted. However, although at first glance
this estimated result may sound appealing, the entire picture and ramification of such an action
needs to be investigated.

a �;i hon"I It -\lay Concern:
%Ve the youths. as a Hernandez Center member. understand that the YMCA is trying to
take over the Center. 'We feel it is wrong because it's like a home for the kids who �,yould
otherwise be in the streets. The Center occupies them with recreational programs for all ages
vwith low costs. As a YMCA member, the children would have to pay S40 for basketball. At the
ri rn :' C rater. a child Llstlally pays only S 11-5) for most recreational activities. A Hernandez
participant wouldn't be able to afford the costs. Many activities are 50 cents or free.
