RESOLUTION 2021-___
APPROVING FUNDING PURSUANT TO THE 28E AGREEMENT WITH THE
WAUKEE FAMILY YMCA
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
WHEREAS, the City of Waukee, Dallas County, State of Iowa, is a duly organized Municipal
Organization; AND,
WHEREAS, it is widely recognized that the benefits of youth sports participation, physical
activity, and a nutritious diet helps create habits that support a healthy lifestyle and improve the
overall health of the American people; AND,
WHEREAS, the President of the United States, in Executive Order 13265 - Amended February
26, 2018 - President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, determined that good health,
including physical activity and proper nutrition, supports Americans’, particularly children’s,
well-being, growth, and development. Participating in sports allows children to experience the
connection between effort and success, and it enhances their academic, economic, and social
prospects. Many of America’s leaders attribute their lifetime achievements to lessons learned
through sports participation and athletic activity. Additionally, youth sports help working
parents and guardians by providing their children opportunities to engage in productive, positive
activities outside of school. Unfortunately, during the past decade youth participation in team
sports has declined. As of 2016, only 37 percent of children played team sports on a regular
basis, down from 45 percent in 2008. Particularly troubling is that sports participation
disproportionately lags among young girls and children who are from economically distressed
areas; AND,
WHEREAS, exercise and recreation benefit people of all ages and are critical in the prevention
of a multitude of health issues, including but not limited to obesity, diabetes, cardiac diseases to
name a few; AND,
WHEREAS, the City seeks to continue to encourage and have available exercise and
recreational programing to promote the overall physical fitness, health, and nutrition of all
persons living in the City; AND,
WHEREAS, the Waukee Family YMCA operates a facility which includes a swimming pool,
various indoor basketball, volleyball and other sport courts and programing within the City;
AND,
WHEREAS, the City desires to provide assistance to underprivileged residents within the city
limits in the City to assure that adequate exercise, sports and recreational opportunities continue
to exist for the underprivileged; AND,
WHEREAS, the City has an existing 28E agreement with the Waukee Family YMCA
establishing the procedures and mechanisms for the administration of a fund to make available
adequate exercise, sports and recreational opportunities continue to exist for the underprivileged
within the City.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a contribution in the amount of $36,000.00 be
made to the Waukee Family YMCA for fiscal year 2022 to be administered pursuant to the 28E
agreement with the YMCA dated November 2, 2020.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that payment shall be made upon receipt by the City of
Waukee of an invoice from Waukee Family YMCA for the amount designated above.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Waukee, Iowa, and approved this the 20th day of
September, 2021.
