Report Date: 8/28/96 <br /> • WORK SESSION MEETING DATE <br /> September 3. 1996 <br /> vest•PartneRKM`es <br /> Item Description: Quad Ice Rink and Shoreview, Arden Hills, New Brighton and Mounds View Position <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> -No Comments to supplement this report <br /> -Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) <br /> Summary: The four communities met this past Wednesday in Mounds View to discuss the Quad Rink <br /> proposal and our relationship in that project. I have included the summary handouts that were given at the <br /> meeting. The project was reviewed and the issues discussed. To quickly summarize, while there was tentative <br /> interest in the project from the group, concern exists over the 20 to 25 year commitment needed for the cities <br /> to assume any shortfall the local hockey associations may have in renting ice time. Also brought to the fore <br /> was Ramsey County's situation. There may be sentiment on the County Board to fund another rink as has <br /> been done with Highland Park, or even contribute funds to the Blaine complex on our behalf. This is all <br /> unofficial speculation at this point, but the four city managers will approach the County on these possibilities <br /> ext Tuesday. I can update the Council more on Tuesday evening. Also, in order to save time Tuesday, I'm <br /> asking Gordie Voss and Paul Erickson not to attend since so much was covered Wednesday. I know that may <br /> not help the council members not in attendance, but frankly their input does not appear necessary right now. <br /> They are still scheduled for September 9. <br /> led)(Z/ <br /> Chuck Whiting, City Administrator <br />
