Over the last few years the Rogers Arena's contract allows them to keep all game <br />receipts and to chazge and additional $12.00 to the practice hours of the Boy's and <br />Girl's teams to cover security expenses for the varsity games. <br />If we were to have the same agreement as Roger's we could expect about an <br />additional revenue of about $4,000.00 from admissions and an additional <br />$3,100.00 from the added $12.00 added to the practice hours. <br />The agreements between the two cities and the Arena are somewhat complicated <br />and should be reviewed. <br />I met with Randy Anderson, the School District's Executive Director of Business, <br />to review our agreements for practice ice and games. Randy noted that according <br />to the student population, the Elk River schools should have three liaison officers, <br />which they have. Rogers's student population merits them to have two, however <br />they only have one. The School District pays each city $25,000 per liaison to <br />offset the cost of the officer. Since Roger's only has one liaison officer the added <br />$12.00 an hour is to pay for the Officer (s) that provide security for the High <br />School games. <br />According to Captain Bob Kluntz, from Elk River P.D., the agreement that the <br />police department has with the school district regarding the liaison officers is that <br />the payment of $25,000 not only provides for the liaison officers but includes <br />officers for athletic events such as Football, and Hockey. <br />Security for hockey games are unique from the other sporting events, because the <br />games are held in a city owned facility where other events such as football are <br />held in school district owned building or stadium. With the Arena having it's <br />own budget and contracts with the school district for practices and games and the <br />Police department having the agreement with the district for security for all <br />athletic events it's hard for the Arena to track the true cost of security for games. <br />I was not provided with an explanation from Randy of how the agreement came <br />about with the Roger's Arena keeping all the receipts from their games. As noted <br />above, the Arena has a set amount then a percentage split with the district. I <br />believe there should equality between the two rinks. <br />9. Outside Banners <br />Mugs Prosser has made a request to add her son, Nate, to the outside wall of the Arena. <br />Nate played on the Elk River Varsity team as well as with the youth association. <br />Currently, Nate is on the MN Wild's farm club, and has been called up to play at the Pro <br />level. <br />Before proceeding, I want to make sure the policy in the minutes are correct. Attached <br />for your review are the minutes for the vote regarding the banners in November of 2010. <br />There was a lot of discussion about what constitutes playing in the N.H.L. (National <br />
