Commissioner Cunningham notes that it is above him as to whether the school <br /> district would be able to commit to any projects, but he believes that many <br /> fear the rates would increase. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard suggests a promise to the usergroups, if they <br /> support the project up front,that we cap rates or promise to only increase by a <br /> small amount? <br /> Arena Manager Czech agrees by noting we cannot outprice ourselves, and <br /> suggests no more than a 2%/year increase with up front commitment? He also <br /> suggests tying it in with the consumer price index? <br /> Chair Martin suggests adding the CIP projects to the spreadsheet as well as <br /> upfront commitments that are already in hand to help show the council what <br /> the costs will be. <br /> Vice Chair Johnson suggests changing the wording in option 1, as he believes <br /> stating the"useful life"of the barn as 9-11 years may lead the council to <br /> believe that we can wait to make changes. <br /> Arena Manager Czech agrees to meet with the Youth Hockey board to let <br /> them know where the commission stands and to inform them of the <br /> presentation by the 292 group at their registration. <br /> Chair Martin suggests including donation options at the presentation as well. <br /> Czech suggests volunteer commitments as opposed to financial ones? Or <br /> possibly a"buy a brick"option for fundraising? <br /> Martin suggests pursuing corporate sponsors, or possibly the rotary or <br /> Chamber of Commerce? <br /> Councilmember Westgaard states donors could give money to the non profits, <br /> such as the figure skating or blue line club, (which would make it tax <br /> deductible) and those groups in turn could donate the money to the project. <br /> MOTION BY VICE CHAIR JOHNSON AND SECONDED BY <br /> COMMISIONER CUNNNINGHAM TO PRESENT OPTION 4 TO THE <br /> COUNCIL AS THE ARENA COMMISSIONS PREFERRED OPTION. <br /> MOTION PASSES 4-0. <br /> 6 <br />
