PARK BOARD MINUTES <br /> March 5, 1990 <br /> acres, needing a total of 3-4 acres to allow for parking. <br /> Ben Benson stated that if the city donated anything towards <br /> the ice arena that it is possible the city could receive some <br /> money back, depending on the funding the committee receives. <br /> Bob Williams asked when the committee needs an answer from <br /> the park board. Ben Benson said that they want state funding <br /> and that this issue will be brought before the State <br /> Legislature that meets in May. <br /> Bob Williams stated that he would like to see this in Lino <br /> Lakes. <br /> Don Volk stated that the 2nd Avenue Project is a go. This <br /> will become a state aid street from Lake Drive to Elm Street . <br /> It is also a possibility to run Glenview Drive to 2nd Avenue. <br /> This would give better access to Sunrise Park. <br /> Don Volk feels that Sunrise Park would be a good location, <br /> although a ballfield will be taken out and have to be <br /> replaced elsewhere. <br /> Ken Johnson suggested giving up some outdoor rinks for the <br /> indoor ice arena. Don Volk stated that outdoor rinks would <br /> still be necessary. The key factor in making the indoor <br /> arena work is that it is paid ice time for associations. <br /> Ken Johnson also asked about what would happen if this <br /> business went bankrupt . Don Volk stated that this will be <br /> run just like a business. There will be a contract agreement <br /> with that issue written out. <br /> Ben Benson stated that running the ice arena would be the <br /> Centennial Ice Arena Committee' s responsibility. Even if <br /> this was on school grounds the school would not be <br /> responsible for running the arena. <br /> Bill Nissen asked about the size of the arena. Ben Benson <br /> stated that it would seat about 1500 people with storage <br /> space under the bleachers. There will also be a concession <br /> stand. This arena would be similar to the one in Blaine. <br /> Mr. Benson informed the board that the next meeting of the <br /> ice arena committee is March 22nd. if anyone would like to <br /> attend. <br /> This will be on the April agenda to be discussed at the park <br /> board. Items to be discussed are: <br /> Land requirements <br /> Building designs <br /> Page 2 <br />
