However, I think it's good to have the user groups represented when <br />decisions are being made. Should the Arena Commission be dismantled, my concern would be that the group to oversee <br />the Community Center would include representatives of all the user groups. It's hard to make decisions when you're not <br />familiar with how arenas are operated and how the various user organizations function. Figure Skating is very different <br />from Hockey, but we all share the same facility. <br />Thank you! <br />DeAnn <br />From: Miller, Jessica [mailto:JMiller@ElkRiverMN.Pov] <br />Sent: Friday, December 6, 2019 9:00 AM <br />To: Miller, Jessica <JM!Iler(�)ElkRiverMN.eov> <br />Subject: Invitation to the December 16 Council Work Session <br />Good morning, <br />The Elk River City Council dearly appreciates the time and effort you, as volunteer members of boards and <br />commissions, provide to make out community special. They also wish to be respectful for your personal time. <br />Changes to our community and civic operations has resulted in concerns whether the mission of some of our <br />boards and commissions are compatible with current needs. Further, frequent volunteer turnover, few agenda <br />topics, and lack of meeting quorum has led the council to discuss the future of three particular commissions, The <br />Heritage Preservation Commission, Ice Arena Commission, and Library Board. <br />On December 16, the council will discuss the roles of these commissions along with their connections to other <br />existing commissions. The council would like to invite you to the meeting. If you are unable to attend, they <br />welcome any thoughts you may have regarding your commission/board's role, effectiveness, scope of responsibility, <br />etc. You may reply to this email or call me directly if you have any thoughts you'd like to share. <br />The work session will follow the regular meeting at City Hall and be held in the Upper Town Conference Room. <br />Thank you for all of your good works for the City of Elk River! <br />Enjoy your weekend! <br />Jessica <br />Jessica Miller <br />City of Elk River — Deputy Clerk <br />
