-:ty of iver ITEM 4.5. MEMORANDUM Mayor & City Council FROM: Pat Klaers, City Administrator DATE: October 21, 1996 SUBJECT: Ice Arena Commission Ordinance The Elk River Ice Arena Task Force met on Monday, October 14, 1996. One of the agenda items at this meeting was a review of the draft Ice Arena Commission ordinance. This city commission is set up as an advisory board to the City Council in a manner that is very similar to the Park and Recreation or Planning Commissions. Attached for your review is a draft of the Ice Arena Commission ordinance as reviewed by the Ice Arena Task Force. The membership of the Commission was the one item that generated the most discussion at the Task Force meeting. It is a desire of the Task Force that the Commission have an odd number of members and, originally, the Task Force felt that five members would be appropriate. Ultimately, the proposed ordinance has seven members as two from the public were added. There were no strong feelings on the Commission, pro or con, for these two additional members from the public. The Council can include or exclude these two from the public and have the Commission be either a five or seven member advisory body. Much like the Park and Recreation Commission reviews park improvements, hears complaints or comments from the citizens, proposes rules and regulations governing the city parks, and deals with similar type issues, and makes recommendations to the City Council, so will the Ice Arena Commission. Recommendation After Council review and after considering any possible changes in the ordinance, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the ordinance establishing the Ice Arena Commission. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
