Action Requested
Discuss funding of capital improvements, provide staff direction.
Direct, byT motion, staff to initiate improvements and negotiate an agreement `vith iVlinnesota Squatch Junior
HockeyT.
Background/Discussion
Staff was contacted by Jon "Chic" PojaY about a yreaY ago regarding his desire to locate a junior hockey in our
facilityT. Junior hockeyT is for players aged 16-20 and is mostly post-high school in Minnesota.
Mr. Pojar's proposal `vas shared `vith the Multipurpose FacilityT AdvisoryT Commission on March 14. The
Commissioners expressed consensus to continue discussions with the team. The Squatch application for a
franchise has been approved byT the United States Premier HockeyT League (USPHL) and he has made his
preliminaryT franchise payTment His next payTment is due veryT soon. Before going for�vard he would like a
commitment from the cityT.
The cost to retrofit e�sting space in the FT CenteY for a locker Yoom, coaches office and Yeplace the refeYee
Yoom is appro�mately $100,000. The team would be expected to pay the costs to outfit the locker rooms, similaY
to what was done `vith ERHS. The Multipurpose Facilit�r fund balance does not have available funds at this time,
so a funding source needs to be identified. The Building Reserve Fund, Park Dedication Fund or ARPA Funds
are available for the work.
Chic has provided a draft fee proposal. Staff `vould continue to negotiate the final rates before the agreement is
brought back to the Council to consider.
Financial Impact
The cit�T �vill need to front the initial costs to allo�v for the buildout of a team locker room to meet the USPHL
expectations. The team `vill payT no less than the going rate for primetime ice. The team primaril�T practices during
daytirne hours when ice is not being utilized and the team owner has expYessed a desire to host summeY camp(s).
