It would seem prudent at this time, to work with the City to achieve awin/win situation for the City <br />and Youth Hockey. Upon the passage of the school bond referendum the City will experience an <br />apparent windfall with the arena finances, allowing for the new activity center. Elk River Youth <br />Hockey would like to share in this windfall to a minor extent and would ask that the city consider the <br />following proposal: <br />1. Ice rental rates charged to Elk River Youth Hockey would remain frozen or constant for the <br />next eight years. <br />2. Elk River Youth Hockey, the #1 purchaser of ice hours, would be given the first right to <br />refusal for all additional ice hours that become available upon the opening of the Rogers <br />Arena. <br />3. The concession stand rental charges Elk River Youth Hockey pay to the City be reduced to <br />be in line with average rental charges of similar nature in surrounding arenas. That rental <br />fee to be $5,000 annually. <br />The Elk River Youth Hockey Board is very much willing to support the bond referendum with the <br />City's acceptance of our proposal We would then communicate our support to the entire <br />membership, encouraging them to support the bond at the polls. <br />I invite you to contact me to discuss this matter further. Time is of the essence, and I truly believe <br />this is a great opportunity for Elk River Youth Hockey and all the residents of our community. I <br />look forward to working with you to ensure that this project gets completed. <br />Sincerely, <br />Q~ ~-~ c~ <br />David Hansen <br />President <br />Elk River Youth Hockey <br />~ 763-241-9970 <br />(VV) 612-673-3782 <br />da~~d.hansen(a?ci.minneanolis.mn.us <br />cc: Dale Martin, Chair /At Large Representative <br />Dan Tveite, Council Representative <br />1000 SCHOOL STREET N.W. • P.O.
