<br />e <br /> <br />One of the final issues regarding this project that is just beginning to receive some <br />discussion by the Task Force is the ice arena management board. The City Council, if it <br />owns one or both of the facilities, will have the final say over all aspects of the ice arena <br />operations. However, the Council will have to rely greatly upon an Ice Arena Board that <br />has more expertise in the operations of the ice arena and more time to commit to <br />managing the facility. The size, shape, structure, and rules of such a governing board that <br />makes recommendations to the City Council is just now beginning to be discussed. <br />However, the importance of this Committee/Board cannot be understated as this ice arena <br />is a significant and complicated financial undertaking. Furthermore, through this <br />operation becoming a City facility, we will be adding additional City employees such as <br />an Ice Arena Manager. Currently there is an Ice Arena Manager that is employed by <br />Youth Hockey, and the retaining of this individual in this capacity as a City employee <br />will also need City Council and Task Force discussion. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council authorize RSP Architects, Ltd., to proceed with <br />the completion of their contract with the City for the ice arena project. The additional <br />work for the architects includes completion of the design development, construction <br />document, bidding, and construction phases. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />s/council:icearchi <br /> <br />e <br />
