T. Zerby noted the numbers indicated can include one person coming several times and not
everyone who visits the Center signs in. She indicated rentals, such as wedding receptions, are
never counted. She also indicated some people sign in as Excelsior residents even though they
may be from other cities. She believed it is based on the shared zip code.
Kind believed the Excelsior numbers could be inflated because of the zip code.
T. Zerby stated two other cities that use the Center a lot are Chanhassen and Minnetonka.
Many of those who visit and sign in often bring guests.
T. Zerby also reviewed the SSSP membership percentages by City as follows:
CITY PERCENTAGE
Deephaven 4.0
Excelsior 34.3
Greenwood 3.0
Shorewood 29.0
Tonka Bay 7.3
Other (Chanhassen) 5.0
Kind suggested some kind of cooperative venture with the Chanhassen center. Fulkerson
agreed that was an interesting idea. T. Zerby stated many card players will frequently travel
from one center to the other whether it is Gillespie, Southshore or Chanhassen.
5.Possible Scenarios
Zerby reviewed the options which included the following:
Option 1
Same as it is now. Partner cities contribute on voluntary basis. Building repair is paid by
construction formula. Shorewood decides best use for the building.
Option 1a
Cities wishing to not participate revoke their claim to any building ownership, and have no
further financial participation or liability. Voluntary donation to Shorewood for 2013 for
shortfall in operations.
Option 2
New business plan is adopted to run the center with paid program and operations director.
Salary is paid by a tbd formula by all partner cities. Budget is approved each year by all
councils.

Option 3
Sell the building. Distribute funds per construction formula, with easement rights valuation
added to Shorewood's portion.
Discussion of Options:
Kind suggested programming with other communities or have the MCES do some programming
at the Center.
S. Zerby noted the MCES would not pay rent for the building use. Kind believed it would still be
worth pursuing. T. Zerby believed there is not a lot of interest there.
T. Zerby noted MCES charges more for their classes, and we could probably hire someone to
offer classes for lower fees.
Skrede noted a lot of the Deephaven residents use the MCES programs and Minnetonka Senior
Center because of the convenient locations. He noted they did not contribute to the Center in
the beginning with the idea they would get their money back if it failed.
Ansari arrived at 5:20 p.m.
Joynes stated there was discussion at the last meeting that if Deephaven wants to back out,
there are two other cities that continue to use it, and Shorewood continues to run the center.
Skrede stated that is a preliminary discussion. He stated he supported Shorewood going
forward to do whatever they want to do.
Skrede stated he met with SSSP several years ago and stated he had every confidence in
Shorewood running the Center. Kind agreed.
Kind stated Greenwood supports Option 1, recognizing it might need to be a scaled down
version with a scheduler rather than a programmer. It wouldn’t have to be a big marketing
thing. Their Council also discussed supporting operations rather than capital expenditures. She
stated there now seems to be support for funding capital expenditures rather than operations.
She stated the building is where the assets are. She noted Deephaven and Excelsior are also
supportive of that.
Zerby stated there are expenses under Option 1 for janitorial to set up, etc., which would be
paid for by the rentals.
Skrede stated in the old days, the Friends of the Southshore Center did all that as their
fundraiser. Kind stated they are expected to clean up the park shelter they are renting in

another city. Fulkerson asked if alcohol is allowed inside the Center. S. Zerby stated it is
allowed. T. Zerby stated it would be difficult for the seniors to clean up or set up as they are
elderly.
Kind stated the idea of Option 2 was not an option in Greenwood. S. Zerby asked if the various
Councils would support helping with shortfalls each year. Kind stated she would imagine
Greenwood would help. Fulkerson believed Excelsior would also help. Kind stated her Council
would want to have approval of capital improvements before they are purchased.
Committee members discussed Center operations and the need for help there. T. Zerby stated
the important question is what we should give back to the community and what are the citizens
asking for. Sundberg stated it is important to note that no community center is self-sufficient.
Kind stated the difference between our center and others is that our center is paid for. If any
center had a chance of breaking even, it should be ours.
Ansari asked if there is a reason you can point to why it isn’t breaking even. Joynes it is
basically a matter of not having enough revenue to support the staff salaries.
Kind stated maybe it should cost more to use the facilities. She stated taxes are a real issue,
and Greenwood residents are paying more than any other city.
Skrede asked if there is possibly a niche that we provide that we can offer to MCES. Joynes
stated he had heard that MCES felt the Center is competition. Joynes discussed the variety of
programs MCES offers. He asked if there is something offered here that isn’t offered there.
Kind offered to contact Tim Lifkin to find out rather than speculating what they might want.
Ansari stated we may be able to offer something complimentary to what MCES offers.
Skrede stated it is important to define what needs to be done to fill up the Center and what the
threshold is for a full building. S. Zerby stated we now there interest in keeping the Center
open. He discussed programming Shorewood does for park functions.
Joynes discussed park usage and the maintenance and upkeep needed for park facilities.
T. Zerby stated it appears the fact is being missed that we are trying to serve the seniors in the
communities. She stated it didn’t appear that issue didn’t have value.
Kind stated that is not the case with Greenwood. Their limited use is due to location. She
noted the Center and its programs is always well advertised in their newsletter.
Ansari stated this item is on Tonka Bay’s agenda for August 13. She stated she familiarized
herself with the history of Tonka Bay’s support of the Center. She noted that historically the
Southshore Center Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, August 8, 2013
Page 5 of 5
general feeling has been that a small amount for capital improvements is budgeted but not for
operations.
6.Discussion
S. Zerby asked if the various City Councils would help support a business plan and/or
consultant. Ansari stated she could not speak for the Tonka Bay City Council. She stated in a
discussion with the City Administrator, he indicated he did not think that could be supported.
Fulkerson stated she would try to get this on a future Excelsior City Council meeting.
Committee members discussed the previous community meeting held a few years ago when
the Center was going to be sold.
Fulkerson suggested articles be placed in the Sun Sailor to publicize the need for donations.
People should know there is a problem. Skrede stated donations should be mailed to the City
of Shorewood to offset current expenses.
T. Zerby stated there should be a usage fee, but someone needs to be there to collect the
money. She noted there is a fee charged to non-residents at other centers.
Joynes discussed the need for sustainability. He stated people may donate once or twice, but
not forever. T. Zerby stated it is better to start charging fees.
Kind stated the philosophy in Greenwood is you pay for the want to have items and expect to
receive the need to have items.
S. Zerby explained how the SSSP is funded. Committee members discussed how other centers
in the area are funded.
S. Zerby stated a recommendation will be made at the next meeting following City Council
review in Excelsior and Tonka Bay.
7.Set Next Meeting Date
No meeting date was scheduled pending the determination of when Excelsior will discuss this
item at their City Council meeting.
8.Adjourn
The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
