Request for Action To Item Number Mayor and City Council 4.7 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent October 21, 2019 Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director Item Description Reviewed by Spectrum Outdoor Ice Rink Agreement Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Approve, by motion, the agreement for the mutual use of a hockey rink and warming house at Spectrum Charter School’s athletic complex. Background/Discussion City Council discussed at the July 15, 2019, work session the parameters of a partnership for the mutual use and maintenance of an outdoor ice rink and warming house at Spectrum High School. City Council provided direction to draft an agreement. Originally, Elk River Youth Hockey Association (ERYHA) was a part of the partnership effort. ERYHA since has chosen not to pursue an agreement because they have other financial priorities in which they are choosing to invest their funds. Spectrum and city staff continued to work on a partnership with the same terms first discussed with City Council with the exception Spectrum will now purchase the dasher boards. The plan is for the boards to be installed this winter assisted by city maintenance staff. The plan is for the school to install outdoor lighting this November and for the city to staff the Spectrum building as a warming house. The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed agreement. Financial Impact The city costs to maintain the ice and provide warming house attendants will be covered by discontinuing the ice rinks at Lion John Weicht Park and Kliever Lake Fields Park Attachments  Agreement for Outdoor Hockey Rink at Spectrum The Elk River Vision A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity
