The Interim City Manager stated the consultant report addresses non-profits and provides research and industry standards; the non-profit concept has become firmer since the RFP was issued; Council needs to advise staff whether to pursue the idea of a non-profit and review the plan. Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he would like staff to pursue the matter; non-profits have stepped in when there has been an opportunity to support fields and have been very successful; that he would like to give direction to have staff to pursue the matter.
