ElkRiver� MEMORANDUM
TO: Park & Recreation Commission
FROM: Pat Klaers, City Ad. �,tor
DATE: August 12, 1998
SUBJECT: Appointment to Ice Arena Commission
The Ice Arena Commission is made up of seven members. The make up of
this membership is identified on the first page of the attached Ice Arena
Commission Ordinance. Community Recreation Director Jeff Asfahl has
resigned from the Commission at the direction of his board. Accordingly, the
composition of the Ice Arena Commission will change.
The Commission met on August 4 and recommended that the community
• recreation director be replaced by a member of the city Park and Recreation
Commission. The Ice Arena Commission's intent is to foster better
communication with the city Park and Recreation Commission as they view
the ice arena activities as park and recreation and see a possibility for many
programs and projects of mutual interest. Staff concurs with this
recommendation.
This request will be brought to the City Council in the near future. Prior to
City Council consideration of this request, I thought it would be appropriate
for the Park and Recreation Commission to comment on the possibility of
having one of its members also be a member of the Ice Arena Commission. In
addition to the ordinance, also attached is the resolution establishing the two
yearly meeting dates and the roster of the Commission. The Ice Arena
Commission actually meets about four to five times per year depending on
the need to get together on special issues.
