Why locate it at the original Jennie Jaynes Stadium property?
The location is central to Sedalia with great visibility for those coming in and out of town on a daily basis. Also, the original goal of the Jennie Jaynes Foundation was to provide recreation to the community. This community center is continuing the legacy of the foundation.
How will the Heckart Community Center be paid for?
The City of Sedalia will utilize a bond to pay for the community center. The principle payments to repay the bond will be made utilizing proceeds from the 1/8 cent sales tax and the Capital Improvements Tax. The interest will be paid as a contribution to the project by Sue Heckart.
What is Sue Heckart’s contribution to this project?
Sue Heckart is bringing her parents’ dream of a community center in Sedalia to life with her extremely generous donation of paying the interest on the bonds the city will use to build of the center. Without her generosity, the community center would not come to reality.
Who is going to be able to use the Center?
Anyone and everyone will be able to use the community center, whether they live in the city, county or are visiting from out of town.
Who will benefit from the Community Center?
Everyone. This Community Center will be utilized by our senior population, youth, teens, families and citizens of all ages.
How will the Center be maintained?
The Sedalia Parks Department will operate and maintain the center. Operational costs will be covered by user fees. These fees have been researched thoroughly to ensure that they are fair and comparable to other communities and so the community center can operate efficiently and meet the needs of the community.
Will we have to pay to use the facility?
Yes. Just as the Parks department currently runs all their other facilities there will be a minimal user fee to help pay for the operating expenses of the facility through user fees, rentals, and concessions. Thorough research has been done to ensure that fees are equal or less than community centers in Columbia, Warrensburg, Harrisonville, Belton, and other comparable cities. Discounts will be available for senior citizens and annual memberships. Users are also able to pay by the day.
What will happen to Convention Hall?
Convention Hall will continue to be used by Sedalia Parks and Recreation with camps, rentals, dance, gymnastics, dog obedience, and other programming. It will not be torn down.
How and why has the Senior Center been incorporated into the facility/complex?
The Senior Center is an important asset for the citizens of our community. Including it in the Community Center will provide a modern facility, in a convenient location, with great access and help to create a well-rounded community center for all. It also allows those utilizing the senior center access to additional services the community center provides. This will also allow for a state of the art kitchen to allow the Senior Center to continue to provide meals within the facility and their home delivery to senior citizens within all of Pettis County.
Can 3 adults be on the same membership?
No, additional adults will have to purchase an individual membership based on their age.
Family membership is a maximum of 5 members with no more than 2 adults.
Example: Family membership could include a maximum of 2 adults and 3 children up to age 18. Or a single adult with 4 children up to age 18. All people must be residing under the same household.

We are still working on those details. Some classes will be included, and some will cost extra. Same for Aquatics or Pool Classes – they will be offered but some will be included, and some will cost extra.

Why locate it at the original Jennie Jaynes Stadium property?
The location is central to Sedalia with great visibility for those coming in and out of town on a daily basis. Also, the original goal of the Jennie Jaynes Foundation was to provide recreation to the community. This community center is continuing the legacy of the foundation.
How will the Heckart Community Center be paid for?
The City of Sedalia will utilize a bond to pay for the community center. The principle payments to repay the bond will be made utilizing proceeds from the 1/8 cent sales tax and the Capital Improvements Tax. The interest will be paid as a contribution to the project by Sue Heckart.
What is Sue Heckart’s contribution to this project?
Sue Heckart is bringing her parents’ dream of a community center in Sedalia to life with her extremely generous donation of paying the interest on the bonds the city will use to build of the center. Without her generosity, the community center would not come to reality.
Who is going to be able to use the Center?
Anyone and everyone will be able to use the community center, whether they live in the city, county or are visiting from out of town.
Who will benefit from the Community Center?
Everyone. This Community Center will be utilized by our senior population, youth, teens, families and citizens of all ages.
How will the Center be maintained?
The Sedalia Parks Department will operate and maintain the center. Operational costs will be covered by user fees. These fees have been researched thoroughly to ensure that they are fair and comparable to other communities and so the community center can operate efficiently and meet the needs of the community.
Will we have to pay to use the facility?
Yes. Just as the Parks department currently runs all their other facilities there will be a minimal user fee to help pay for the operating expenses of the facility through user fees, rentals, and concessions. Thorough research has been done to ensure that fees are equal or less than community centers in Columbia, Warrensburg, Harrisonville, Belton, and other comparable cities. Discounts will be available for senior citizens and annual memberships. Users are also able to pay by the day.
What will happen to Convention Hall?
Convention Hall will continue to be used by Sedalia Parks and Recreation with camps, rentals, dance, gymnastics, dog obedience, and other programming. It will not be torn down.
How and why has the Senior Center been incorporated into the facility/complex?
The Senior Center is an important asset for the citizens of our community. Including it in the Community Center will provide a modern facility, in a convenient location, with great access and help to create a well-rounded community center for all. It also allows those utilizing the senior center access to additional services the community center provides. This will also allow for a state of the art kitchen to allow the Senior Center to continue to provide meals within the facility and their home delivery to senior citizens within all of Pettis County.
Can 3 adults be on the same membership?
