CITY OF LINO LAKES PARR BOARD MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1993 soccer facility at the new Centennial Sports Arena. There is a charge to us of $55 per hour. Barry Bernstein thinks that we could use the arena for approximately 5 hours per week at a total charge of $2200 for 8 weeks. This would accommodate two adult soccer leagues, one men's league and one co-rec league. Other costs involved would include sports officials, time keepers and miscellaneous trophies. Total expenses would be $3922 . Income generated from entry fees for 6 men's teams and 4 co-rec teams would be $4740, showing a profit of $817. As long as this is a new venture we will not have to sign a contract for the use of the arena. Marty Asleson asked the board for a motion to approve the use of the arena. MOTION: John Bauman made a motion to recommend that the Parks and Recreation Department rent the Centennial Sports Arena to program adult indoor soccer leagues. The motion was seconded by Brian Bourassa. All were in favor. Motion carried. Star of the North Games: The star of the North Summer Games is an olympic style, multi sport competition held annually for all Minnesota amateur athletes regardless of age or ability. It will conduct its 1993 Summer Games in the north metro communities of Blaine, Circle Pines, Fridley, Mounds View, New Brighton and Spring Lake Park. Star of the North Games will sponsor their 10, 000 Lakes Classic adult softball tournament in the north metro area on June 12-13 . We have been contacted by Brian Hegseth, Centennial School District Facility Coordinator to support their efforts by way of the use of our facilities and human resources. Our city council has adopted a resolution to support the Star of the North Games. Mr. Hegseth will be in contact with us as the plans progress. Marty Asleson will keep the board informed. Birch Park: Marty Asleson referred to a letter he received from homeowners in the D. Erickson Addition in which they thanked him and all involved in the improvements to Birch Park. The improvements included a new warming house (the shelter donated from The City of Shoreview) , lights in the parking lot and new swings and a slide.
