Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission Minutes Page 3 <br /> June 10,2024 <br /> —�. Mr.Stremcha inquired if there should be a budget steering committee who reviews the budget line by <br /> line? <br /> Commissioner Zeman noted if the MFAC is tasked with reviewing the budget,why would a <br /> subcommittee be needed as they currently aren't doing anything else with the commission. <br /> Chair Westgaard inquired how much the budget will change between now and the next meeting in <br /> August. <br /> Mr. Stremcha said it is a work in progress,and he could send out monthly updates,to which Chair <br /> Westgaard replied updates would give the MFAC time to digest the material. <br /> Commissioner Hecker inquired(in relation to Org. Chart Update item 7.1) how changing from a <br /> recreation model to a hospitality model will look different as it doesn't seem it would feel any <br /> different then how the facility is currently run.The facility already operates on a hospitality format <br /> with very friendly capable staff and he doesn't see how this model will be any different. <br /> Mr. Stremcha replied concessions would have a different role as well as an emphasis on guest services. <br /> Chair Westgaard inquired on the status of the contracts,as that information is needed by Youth <br /> Hockey for budgeting- and will the final decisions be brought back to the MFAC. <br /> Mr. Stremcha replied it will be discussed at the City Council work session June 17,and will not be <br /> brought back to the MFAC.He added the Council is still working through how they will handle the <br /> conflicts of interest identified by the City Attorney,however they are leaning towards the Council <br /> handling the contracts. <br /> Commissioner Hecker noted the Commission should express their appreciation on the record to staff <br /> as they may not be working at the FT Center as of the next meeting in August.The Commission <br /> relayed their gratitude to the staff present for their hard work in successfully opening and operating <br /> the facility. <br /> Vice Chair Kotzian noted he has never handled a budget where the revenue wasn't taken into <br /> consideration,and inquired if there was a way the final numbers could be delineated on the budget <br /> report. <br /> Mr.Stremcha replied they could work off the 2023 actual figures. <br /> Chair Westgaard expressed concern the MFAC is being kept in the dark,adding things are changing <br /> and the Commission isn't part of it.He suggested pushing out contracts another year to give the <br /> Council time to review them. <br /> 9. Motion to Adjourn <br /> Motion by Commissioner Zeman and seconded by Vice Chair Kotzian to adjourn the meeting <br /> of the Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission.
