City Council Minutes Page 12 of 13 <br />September 16, 2024 <br />--------- <br />have that communication. Mr. Stremcha stated that it is deeper than the communication between the <br />ERYHA scheduler and Ms. Estby. It is a fundamental problem that they have tried to remedy with <br />ERYHA to schedule within the policy and procedures of the facility, which is 45 days out, so there <br />would still be an opportunity to sell unused ice time to other user groups. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha stated he would be willing to sit down with Mr. Eason and whomever they think is <br />necessary to have a collaborative meeting with the team to make things right and stated they will have a <br />fresh note, a clean slate with having new staff at the FT Center as part of the conversation. The Council <br />and Commissioner Westgaard agreed that it would be necessary to do so. <br /> <br />Commissioner Westgaard stated that Mr. Eason would like more than anything to work something out <br />and stay at the FT Center. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz stated that they made it clear now who the people are that you need to talk to and <br />explained they are more than willing to sit down and figure things out and if that becomes a problem <br />then they should come back to the Council to talk to us again. <br /> <br />It was discussed and agreed that there has to be better communication by all parties. <br /> <br /> <br /> 10.4 FT Center Leased Space Rental Rate <br /> <br />The staff report was presented. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Portner explained they were approached by Thumbs-Up, a local non-profit, asking about using the <br />facility for programming for middle school and high school groups. They are asking for a non-profit rate <br />or discounted rate, which has not been established yet at the FT Center. <br /> <br />Ms. Estby stated that this has been a common request. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner suggested waiting until the new Facility Manager starts to discuss non-profit rates. The <br />Council agreed and directed staff to do some research on rates and what others are doing. Mayor Dietz <br />stated that we have to clearly define what is non-profit or charitable giving and explained that it could <br />potentially be a lot of groups. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner asked the Council about scheduling the Police Chief Interviews for Monday, September 30, <br />2024. It was agreed to move forward with scheduling the interviews for September 30, 2024. <br /> <br /> <br />11.
