Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission Minutes Page 2 <br />October 9, 2023 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> <br />7.1 Year End Presentation to City Council <br /> <br />Mr. Dalton presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha noted projections could also be added to the report, and Commissioner Wagner agreed <br />that would be helpful. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Loidolt inquired as to when the presentation would go to the City Council. Mr. Stremcha <br />replied before the end of the year, but no date had been set. <br /> <br /> <br />8.1. Approve 2023-2024 FT Center Budget <br /> <br />Mr. Dalton presented the staff report and provided an overview of the budget. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Wagner felt $49,920 is an inaccurate figure to represent the savings in eliminating <br />daytime front desk staff. She also added we must be careful how we present figures of costs <br />associated with the Senior Activity Center (Unrealized opportunity cost, etc). In the past, there was a <br />line item in the general fund budget to cover the physical costs of the Senior Activity Center building, <br />however after it moved into the FT Center, the general fund support for the Senior Center was <br />removed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Dalton noted he will create an alternative method of analysis regarding maintenance fees from a <br />square footage perspective. <br /> <br /> Mr. Stremcha commented staff needs the commission to give their opinion on how important it is for <br />the FT Center to continue to subsidize high school hockey games. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Cunningham asked about the revenue in the concession stand on high school game <br />nights vs non-game nights, and added the FT Center is only providing two ticket takers/sellers. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard expressed concern that the commission is opening a can of worms <br />regarding the cost allocation of high school games. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Wagner asks if the concessions budget can separate the paper supplies from the food <br />purchased to sell. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard inquired how on target the FT Center was with it’s 2023 projections. <br /> <br /> Mr. Dalton replied he will get updated information. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Wagner noted if an inter departmental transfer was to be considered, it wouldn’t affect <br />the 2024 budget, it would have to go through Council and be put into place for 2025. <br /> <br /> <br />
