City Council Minutes Page 5 <br />March 15, 2021 <br />8. COVID Update Concerning ERYHA at Furniture and Things <br />Community Event Center <br />Mayor Dietz indicated he spoke with Mike Westgaard, Elk River Youth Hockey <br />representative on the Furniture and Things Community Event Center Advisory <br />Commission in length about the ongoing issues with youth hockey and COVID <br />protocols at the facility. He stated they believe it would be best to have a meeting <br />with Elk River Youth Hockey representatives after the season to review the matter <br />and clarify rental obligations. He stated Mr. Westgaard offered to provide a list of <br />people he believes should attend the meeting. Mayor Dietz added the facility has <br />been turned in to the state for not following COVID protocol and staff is not trying <br />to penalize youth hockey but trying to get them to adhere to state standards. <br />Mr. Portner explained he spoke with the President of the Youth Hockey Association <br />on Friday and was assured the message would get out to players, parents, and <br />coaches. Mr. Portner stated there was improvement over the weekend. <br />The Council concurred it would be good to meet with Elk River Youth Hockey to <br />review what is expected of them as a user group.
