Since these agreements are still being negotiated between all of the parties,it is recommended that if the Council approves the resolution, it be contingent on the approval of each of the agreements discussed above. SUMMARY AN') CONCLUSIONS The decision on whether to participate in the four sheet ice complex at the National Sports Center is strictly a policy issue for the City Council. The local youth hockey associations have identified a need for additional ice time and have had discussions with City Council and staff about this need several times in the last few years. They are particularly concerned about the growing demand for ice time given the projected growth in women's and girl's hockey. However,the cities within the Mounds View School District have traditionally not been involved in the provision of indoor ice time because of the extensive Ramsey County Ice Arena system.
