City of Sherwood and YMCA

Make a Difference

As you probably already know, the city is working with Health Fitness of MN to run the Sherwood Recreational
Facility currently managed by the YMCA.

Health Fitness projects deficits of over $200,000/yr. which we, the taxpayers would be responsible for!!!!! The
YMCA has run the facility in a fiscally responsible way and we would have no tax burden. The process is not
yet complete so our efforts might make a difference.

If you would like to see the YMCA continue to manage our recreational facility,
you can do these important things:

(1) Email City Manager and Community Services Director

Email Joe Gall, (City Manager) - gallj@sherwoodoregon.gov

**He will be negotiating the contract for management of facility.
Email Kristen Switzer (Community Services Director) - switzerk@sherwoodoregon.gov

(2) Email perhaps again! City Council Members:

(3) Email Health Fitness Corp. of MN

We MUST try to reverse the poor decision by some City Council Members. Thanks for your efforts!
