<br /> <br />City Council Minutes <br />April 7, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 9 of 10 <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz asked if they would have to amend the ordinance. Mr. Portner stated yes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner explained that history is important and valuable. She further explained that <br />unless there is transparency, everyone takes what they hear and runs with it. She thinks there is value in <br />the commission for transparency purposes and thinks it is important to have that transparency, as not <br />being a staff-led group, and where the public knows they have a buffer or someone else to go to with <br />questions or discussions other than staff. She further explained that there is still a lot of work to be <br />done. She would like to keep a board, whether it is a user group board or a board of directors. She is <br />open to that discussion, but thinks it is important. <br /> <br />The Council directed the Commission to discuss the responsibilities of the board and what they would <br />like, its bylaws, and come up with a new name, then bring it back to the Council. <br /> <br /> 11.2 FT Center Financial Report <br /> The staff report was presented. <br /> <br /> 11.2 FT Center 2026 Ice, Turf, and Room Rental Rates <br /> The staff report was presented. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz asked if youth hockey would like to know in July. Commissioner Westgaard stated that <br />June would be better. Mayor Dietz stated they should get the ice rates established by June so youth <br />hockey can move forward with their planning. <br /> <br />The Council agreed that the rates presented were a good start. <br /> <br />12.
