Specifically, the <br />City of Lino Lakes contributed $72,000 ($24,000 per year for three years), Circle Pines <br />contributed $12,000, Centerville contributed $16,000, and CYHA contributed $680,000. <br />The executed Super Rink Expansion Guarantee Agreement is attached. Section 5.3 - <br />Recognition for the Centennial Cities states, "The Centennial Cities shall receive <br />recognition in 2 locations; on the exterior of the building and inside the entrance to the <br />building." <br />After Councilmember Stoesz notified staff that signage was not present at the Super <br />Rink, staff contacted the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission (MASC). The current <br />Ice Arena Director was not aware of the 2006 agreement. The MASC is in the process of <br />creating and placing a recognition plaque that will be placed inside the Rink #8 building. <br />Current outdoor signage policies do not allow for additional signage. <br />Staff will provide a powerpoint at the work session showing the exterior of the Super <br />Rink. <br />Attachments <br />National Sports Center Super Rink Expansion Guarantee Agreement, Dated July 2006. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Does the City Council want to direct staff to contact MASC and express our expectation <br />that the 2006 Agreement be fulfilled to include outdoor signage?
