A contract for a joint partnership with YMCA of Washington County will be considered at tonight’s Kalona City Council meeting. City officials and YMCA representatives have been discussing the possibility of having the Kalona Community Center managed by the Y for months.

The council gave City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh the directive to continue negotiations at their last meeting. The YMCA gave a presentation at that meeting where they covered the benefits of having the organization manage the center, and the youth, adult and senior citizen programming they could offer to the residents of Kalona.

Tonight’s meeting begins at 7.
