<br /> <br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 10.3 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Work Session May 4, 2020 Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Multipurpose Facility Commission <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Review, discuss and provide feedback on a draft outline establishing a multipurpose facility commission. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Following the construction of the Olympic Rink and the city’s takeover of the Barn Rink in 1996, an Ice <br />Arena Commission was established. The commission replaced the Ice Arena Task Force, which <br />developed the original construction plans and facility budget. <br /> <br />The commission was established as an advisory body related to the operation and management of the Elk <br />River Ice Arena facility and intended to function similar to the Parks and Recreation Commission or <br />Planning Commission. Over the years, the purpose of the commission, “…advising the City Council <br />regarding matters relevant to the development and operation of the Ice Arena Complex” somewhat <br />diminished as policies and practices were established and expansion/improvement plans were not acted <br />upon until the Council initiated the Community Center Task Force in 2014. <br /> <br />At the Council’s request, a draft outline has been prepared for consideration for a commission to provide <br />recommendations on behalf of the operation of the new multipurpose facility. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> DRAFT Commission Outline <br /> October 21, 1996, Staff Report – Ice Arena Commission Ordinance <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />
