<br /> <br />City Council Minutes <br />July 15, 2024 <br />--------- <br />Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br />10. WORK SESSION – UPPER TOWN CONFERENCE ROOM <br /> <br /> 10.1 Multipurpose Facility Commission Purpose and Authority <br /> The Council discussed potential conflict of interest of the Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission <br />with City Attorney Shepherd. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner reviewed that the Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission was comprised of <br />representatives from various user groups including turf, ice, and senior center. <br /> <br />The Council would prefer to maintain the current structure of the commission. However, they agreed <br />that City Attorney Shepherd should look into some “creative solutions” on how to structure the <br />commission without causing conflict of interest such as an annual Council and Multipurpose Facility <br />Advisory Commission joint meeting to begin fee discussions. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mike Westgaard stated that the Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission is open to <br />the idea of having set fees instead of individual contract negotiations. He requested that fee discussions <br />start in April of each year because of the structure of the youth hockey season. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jacob Kotzian asked the Council if, before setting the rates at their next meeting, they <br />could have discussions with the impacted user groups. He also requested that the commission be <br />provided with utilization rates for the field house. <br /> <br />The Council asked to continue the discussion on rates to their August 5, 2024 meeting and invited the <br />Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission to attend. <br /> <br />12.
