WORKSESSION MEETING DATE •A� Wi June 3, 1996 vg'Ara01:11)170UNDS .Aartnetst'IQS Item Description: Discussion regarding National Sports Center Ice Arena Administrator's Review/Recommendation: -No Comments to supplement this report -Comments attached. Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary: The Mayor and Council may know more about this than I do having only reviewed the file and attended one NSC meeting. The May 1 meeting concluded with the call for each member to go back to their respective community and determine if participation is for real or not. To do this, the entire group agreed that if all communities were willing to commit their funds, in Mounds View's case $100,000, by July of this year, the project should continue. If not, the project would have to be brought back up next year. IIIm giving the Council a slim and not deeply understood description of what I know about this project.` For onday evening, I would like to know from the Council what your feelings are towards this project and whether you would-like to see this proceed this summer or not. I do not at this time know where the appropriate place is to take the funds from, nor do I know the City's relationship with the local hockey associations and their interest in this project. In general it appears to be a very good project and one worth participating in, but I have no feel for the community's desire for it at this point. I am also including a draft master agreement on the arrangement for ownership, financing and operations of the facility. After Monday, I would suggest committing this issue to the.remaining two regular Council meetings in June, with a decision to be arrived at in the June 24 meeting.
