Summary

Council approved a $25,000 FY26–27 agreement with the Apex Community Center after board president Tony Sushek introduced the new nonprofit and described plans to upgrade the facility and pursue emergency-shelter capability.

Representatives of the newly formed Apex Community Center outlined the organization’s transition from the Park Family Foundation and asked council to continue the city partnership with a services agreement. Tony Sushek, president of the Apex Community Center, introduced board members and said the organization aims to upgrade the facility, pursue grant funding and prepare the site to serve as an emergency shelter when needed.

Council approved a one-year services agreement budgeting $25,000 for FY 2026–27, authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute the agreement. The contract preserves several public benefits from the earlier 2010 agreement (city events at no charge, ballroom use for elections and discounts for residents) and requires semiannual and annual performance and financial reporting.
