INTERLOCAL COOPERATION ACT AGREEMENT CREATING THE GOTHENBURG COMMUNITY FACILITIES AGENCY

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT: Stakeholders and patrons of the City, the Hospital and the School have requested that the entities to this Agreement improve the health and well being of the greater community of Gothenburg, Nebraska, by providing enhanced fitness, health and educational opportunities by establishing an expanded community wellness center among other activities.

The Hospital is undertaking a significant renovation of its medical campus which allows the Gothenburg community the opportunity to benefit from significantly reduced engineering, architectural and construction costs to expand the proposed construction of the Hospital to include a community wellness center. The wellness center will be built entirely from donations.

The City, the Hospital and the School each have capital assets that can be better utilized by the Gothenburg community if jointly managed in conjunction with the new wellness center. The creation of the Gothenburg Community Facilities Agency will provide enhanced opportunities to positively impact the lives of the Gothenburg community and provide the most efficient use of taxpayer supported facilities.

It is the intent of this Agreement to provide long term management and necessary operational viability of the current and future wellness center for the benefit of the public.
