ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt ordinance amending Section 2- 252(a) of the city code of ordinances relating to Ice Arena
Commission membership.
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
When the Ice Arena Commission was developed in 1997, youth hockey and the school district were the
two major users of the Arena. Over the years, the Elk River Skate Club has also become a major user,
renting over 500 hours of ice time in a calendar year. They have been actively involved in renovation
discussions, attending meetings, and have agreed to financially support the renovation. They have
expressed an interest in having representation on the Ice Arena Commission; however, adding another
Commission member would have made this Commission one of the largest for the city, and would have
created an even number of members on the Commission.
With the recent resignation of both Elk River Youth Hockey representatives, Dave Foss and Mark
Malzahn, the Commission felt this was a good opportunity to add a representative from the Elk River
Skate Club and reduce the youth hockey representatives to one. This will allow youth hockey and the
skate club representation on the Commission. At their June commission meeting, the commission agreed
to the change in membership. Changing the structure of the Ice Arena Commission does not require a
vote from the Commission, but it does require Council approval to amend the ordinance reducing the
number of Ice Arena Commission members from the Elk River Youth Hockey Association
Commissioners from two commissioners to one commissioner, and adding a representative from the Elk
River Figure Skating Club.
