gra,CV CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW Agenda Section 111 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Report Number: a(I-I$�JZG' OW ' STAFF REPORT Report Date: 9/19/96 41,i• FEW a' • COUNCIL MEETING DATE Special Order of Bus. 4.414•PastnttSeptember 23. 1996 _ Consent Agenda ��4� _ Public Hearings X Council Business Item Description: Resolution No. 5011 Approving Participation in Financing, Construction and Operation of a Four Sheet Ice Facility Executive Director's Review/Recommendation: -No Comments to supplement this report -Comments attached. Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary: I have attached a memo from Terry Schwerin, the City Manager of Shoreview, regarding the Quad Rink proposal. Last week the Shoreview Council approved the resolution to participate with several conditions outlined that take into account the still fluid nature of this project. My comments in This Is It regarding the County's position still hold true at this time, however, the managers are attempting to meet with the County Manager to first make the case that the County simply should be the participant in the facility, and second, if that doesn't succeed that our relationship with the County is clear. I anticipate knowing more by Monday's Council meeting and will report then. Also, I do not have our resolution in our format yet, but it will be the same verbage as Shoreview's. This will be the last opportunity the Council will have to pass a resolution in support prior to the Mighty Ducks deadline. New Brighton will also be considering the esolution Monday evening, and Arden Hills will be going on September 30. This will be our last opportunity o approve our participation, but the project would not move ahead if the conditions are not met, so I would expect ways to get out of this if needed per the resolution conditions. To date, the Council has indicated its approval of this concept and Mounds View's participation in the project. Based on that, I am recommending approval of this resolution. As the Council knows, the managers have been and will continue to work towards minimizing the risk exposure of their communities. I anticipate we will have some hockey supporters present Monday evening based on phone calls made to City Hall. I can certainly attempt to address any issues in this matter at the meeting. chsez. Chuck Whiting, City Adminis tor COMMENDATION: Request Council action approving Resolution 5019 Approving Participation in inancing, Construction and Operation of a Four Sheet Ice Facility at the National Sports Center in Blaine.
