City Council Minutes Page 11 <br />April 17, 2017 <br />----------------------------- <br />Mayor Dietz noted if senior services are moved to the YMCA he would be in favor <br />of completing the Lion’s Park softball improvements as shown in option 1B. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Westgaard noted after renovation, the Ice Arena may be a suitable <br />location to relocate the Lions Club if Lions Park Center is no longer maintained. Mr. <br />Portner added the city will find community space for the Lions Club. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker indicated Lions Park Center is used for recreation programming and if <br />the building is no longer maintained portion of programming will need to be <br />relocated or discontinued. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Westgaard indicated he feels like the senior services portion of the <br />proposal is the only one the Council can move forward with at this point because the <br />Ice Arena and Lions Park proposals hinge on the school district’s plans. <br /> <br /> Council consensus was approval of the Ice Arena concept as presented contingent <br />upon the school district’s approval of the plan. <br /> <br /> Mayor Dietz noted the cost to individual tax payers will be a huge factor in his <br />decision. Mr. Portner explained the cost should be less than the estimated <br />referendum. He stated he will work with staff and put together plans and discuss <br />with other stakeholders. <br /> <br /> <br />10. Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business, Mayor Dietz adjourned the meeting of the Elk <br />River City Council at 10:09 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Jessica Miller. <br /> <br /> <br />___________________ <br />John J.
