Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us 4 C. March 1, 2006 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Super Rink Update The City Council approved Resolution No. 06 -28, Approving City Participation in the Super Rink Expansion Project at the February 13 City Council Meeting. The City Council then approved Resolution No. 06 -37, Approving National Sports Center Super Rink Expansion Guarantee Agreement at the February 27 City Council Meeting. In essence, the City of Lino Lakes has committed to provide a capital contribution of $72,000 over a three year period ($24, 000 in 2007, 2008, and 2009). In addition the participating entities • are also required to backup 1,340 hours of ice rental income to cover any unsold hours during the months of September — March over the 20 year repayment period. The City of Lino Lakes' commitment of guaranteed hours is 346 hours per year. In my opinion there is virtually no risk of there being a shortage of rental hours where the participating cities would be expected to assume any lack of unsold hours. (In 2005 each sheet generated 2,850 hours and there was more demand that what was able to be met.) • In addition: • The Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department (LLPRD) will be granted priority access to program ice hours at the new arena. • On an annual basis the City of Lino Lakes will be granted at least one evening of free skating at the NSC for Lino Lakes' residents through 2046. • On an annual basis the LLPRD will be given 216 free public skating passes to be distributed to Lino Lakes' residents through 2046. • The LLPRD will be given the opportunity to access and publicize all NSC public skating programs to residents in appropriate city publications. • CYHA and the NSC are committed to expand the public use of the Super Rink and expansion to offer Centennial area skaters programs such as public skating, senior skating, learn to skate, and figure skating. I have attached the staff reports and resolutions that were presented to the City Council for approval. sw /parkbrd/meeting info /Super Rink Update.doc
