It is recommended that the <br />City Council approve this attached resolution. <br /> <br />Public Representation on the Commission <br /> <br />The Ice Arena Commission ordinance calls for two members from the <br />general public to sit on the Commission. At this time it is appropriate <br />for the City Council to authorize the advertisement of this Commission <br />vacancy. If the city accepts applications until mid to late November, <br />then the Council should be able to hold interviews and make <br />appointments to the Commission by the end of November. <br /> <br />City Council Representation on the Commission <br /> <br />The Ice Arena Commission ordinance calls for one City Council <br />member to sit on the seven member Commission as a voting member. <br />It is appropriate for the City Council to discuss its representation on <br />this Commission and to make this appointment. <br /> <br />Project Finances <br /> <br />The city committed to financing $50,000 of the ice arena project with <br />the understanding that over a short period of time Youth Hockey <br />would repay the city for this up front investment. While the city <br />cannot technically loan organizations money, we do have full <br />confidence that this city investment into the project will be recaptured. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
