The <br />commission included representatives from the ISD #728, City Council, Elk River Youth Hockey <br />Association, Elk River Figure Skating Club, and two citizens at-large. <br /> <br />In a work session on December 16, 2019, the Council discussed the future of three commissions, <br />including the Ice Arena Commission. The Council consensus was to engage a commission to provide <br />council recommendations on the operation, use, and development of the multipurpose facility. <br /> <br />On May 4, 2020, the City Council reviewed a draft outline for a multipurpose facility advisory <br />commission and the Council was provided an updated version the next day. <br /> <br />Following further review and discussion and upon approval, staff will advertise for prospective members. <br />Staff will work with the city attorney to craft an ordinance to replace the Ice Arena Commission. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Draft Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission Outline <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 />
