1998-2023 Current Agreement <br />• Ramsey County needed another rink in the northwest portion of the county to accommodate the growth of <br />Mounds View Youth Hockey, Irondale Youth Hockey, Mounds View High School, and Irondale High School. <br />• The 1998 agreement not only assisted Ramsey County youth hockey associations and high schools securing ice <br />time, but it also afforded Ramsey County citizens the opportunity to participate in other ice sports, such as, <br />figures skating programs, adult hockey leagues, and broomball leagues. <br />• The Master Agreement secured the said associations and customers the ability to purchase and or programs <br />2080 hours of ice time from September 1— May 31 ranging from 1998-2023. <br />• The agreement also gave naming rights to one of the four ice arenas. <br />• All facility operations and management of the facility was conducted by the National Sports Center (NSC). <br />• Except for 2020 (COVID) the NSC has operated the facility without contributions from our consortium members <br />named in the master agreement. <br />Reasons for the new agreement <br />• Continue to secure ice time for Mounds View Irondale Youth Hockey, Mounds View High School, and Irondale <br />High School. <br />• Continue to secure other ice programs for citizens of Ramsey County. <br />• The new agreement is not naming rights, it is to secure ice time. Our plan is to name the rinks with sponsors. <br />o NSC will allow signage/banners to partner associations and programs. <br />• New agreement would also allow the NSC to finance a loan for a major capital improvement renovation project <br />in the amount of 12 million dollars. These improvements are changing the ice plant from R-22 to ammonia, new <br />floors, boards, sounds systems, score boards, LED lights, efficiencies to the ceiling, etc. <br />• Capital improvements cannot be done without contributions from partners and a long-term rental agreement. <br />Contribution Amounts <br />We are basing everything off of past contributions and what history has proven the Super Rink is comfortable paying off <br />future debt. <br />• <br />1998 — Partner contribution 500k State grant 250k 2,080 hours of ice rights <br />• <br />2006 — Partner contribution <br />1 million No state grants available 1,350 hours of ice rights <br />• <br />2024 — Partner contribution <br />1.2 million No state <br />grants available 1,350 hours of ice rights <br />Payment Breakdown by Cities Population <br />Ramsey <br />County Cities <br />Contribution <br />Population <br />• <br />Shoreview <br />$103,152 <br />26,922 <br />• <br />New Brighton <br />$86,834 <br />22,663 <br />• <br />Mounds View <br />$50,549 <br />13,193 <br />• <br />Arden Hills <br />$39,373 <br />10,276 <br />• <br />North Oaks <br />$20,092 <br />5,244 <br />• <br />Cities Total <br />$300,000 <br />78,298 <br />• <br />Ramsey County <br />$300,000 <br />552,352 <br />• <br />MVIYHA Contribution <br />$600,000 <br />(LOI signed 1/21/23) <br />Total Contribution <br />1.2 Million <br />CONTINUING SUCCESS <br />It is with pleasure to invite our past partners a new opportunity to continue a win -win partnership for the future of ice <br />sports for Ramsey County.
