Call Meeting to Order <br /> Pursuant to due call and notice thereof,the meeting of the Multipurpose Facility Advisory <br /> Commission was called to order at 6:33 p.m.by Chair Williams. <br /> 2. Consider Agenda <br /> Not required for special meeting. <br /> 3.1 Ice/Room/Turf Rates few 2023-2024 <br /> Mr.Williams presented the staff report. <br /> Staff recommended the rate adjustments be tied to the average five-year inflation rate, in this case <br /> 4.42%.By utilizing this strategy,the 2023-24 rates would be:Prime $250.61/Hour and Non-Prime <br /> (reduced) $187.96/Hour. <br /> Additionally,staff suggested considering a revision to the format dictating prime and reduced ice <br /> rates. Currently,all hours sold between September 1 and March 14 are considered prime,and all <br /> hours between March 15-August 31 are considered reduced regardless of the time of day. <br /> Staff distributed information outlining a revised prime/reduced rate format where the prime rate <br /> would applyyear-round,wih discounted rates from 6a (early morning) - 2p on school days only. The <br /> rationale being summer and off-season ice is more expensive to maintain than winter season ice and <br /> there is now consistent demand for off- season ice.Another consideration is most off- season ice <br /> users have contracts determining their ice rates,so the prime and reduced rates only apply to a small <br /> percentage of users. Additionally,this will allow us to set our ice rates closer to the actual cost of <br /> providing the service. <br /> Commissioner Wagner suggested reviewing how much ice was sold to users not under contract this <br /> summer to see what the difference in revenue would have been. <br /> '—...„ Consensus by the Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission to move the vote on ice/room/turf <br /> rates until the August 2023 meeting. <br />
