Economic Development Advisory Committee <br />September 2, 2021 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />Mr. Grochala commented the state has been leasing the facility for the past couple of <br />months and are renewing the lease for an additional couple of months. Mr. Grochala <br />acknowledged Mr. Cravero’s concern while also stating the re-opening process may <br />take up to six months once approved. Some of the re-opening costs could potentially <br />be covered by funds made available through the American Recovery Act. <br />Chair Schueller commented the first step should be renaming the facility. <br />Mr. Grochala commented the City is working on picturing what the whole campus will <br />look like. <br />Mr. Vojtech asked if it would resemble the Shoreview Community Center. <br />Mr. Grochala stated we are not going to try to compete with a waterpark like <br />Shoreview. He stated they are going to try and focus on the regional park and how that <br />can be incorporated into the vison. <br />Mr. Kohler stated he agreed with Mr. Cravero that the reopening of the Rec Center <br />should be a top priority. <br />B. Project Updates <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala provided verbal updates to the Board on current City projects. <br /> <br />IV. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Mr. Vojtech made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 9:02 A.M. Motion was supported <br />by Mr. Cravero, passing unanimously. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Jessica Eller, Community Development Intern
