Last night, at the meeting of the Sammamish City Council, Councilmember Tom Vance moved that the Council "approve a resolution to accept the certified election results from the advisory vote on the November 6, 2012 general election ballot for a community and aquatic center in the City of Sammamish, and authorize the City Manager to proceed with the steps necessary to design and construct the Community and Aquatic Center, pending finalization of an operating agreement between the city and the YMCA."
Councilmember Don Gerend seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-1, with Councilmembers Vance, Valderrama, Whitten, Odell, James, and Gerend voting Yes; Councilmember Curley voted No.
It is expected that the completed operating agreement could be presented to the Council at the January 15, 2013 Study Session and approved at the Council meeting January 22.
