Junior Team Temporary Locker Room Use

Action Requested
Approve by motion, the temporary installation of player stalls in locker room #12. All fees involved including the
cost of lockers, installation, and reinstallation of all current amenities will be the responsibility of MN Squatch.
The Jr. team requires a resident LR for successful operation. The City Council has decided to review FTCENTER
COVID/Construction operating losses before transferring funds to the FTCENTER budget from the city's
ARPA fund allocation. At that point, the MPF Advisory Commission may consider recommending a LR remodel.
Per Council direction, we plan to house the team in LR 12 for the 2022/23 season. LR 12 was initially designed for
visiting teams and is an underutilized space that is larger than our other LR's and has shower facilities. The team
would like to install temporary locker stalls, the full costs of which would be the responsibility of the Jr. team. We
would store the current benches and shelving to be reinstalled in the future.
Tradeoff: We would not have a LR with showers for visiting HS Teams. Generally, rinks do not have shower
facilities available for visiting HS teams. Our experience over the past two seasons, is that our showers were rarely
used. For visiting Jr. teams, the Squatch would arrange for, and safely manage, the use of the resident LR showers,
located in LR 12. We do not anticipate a large demand for showers by visiting teams as the vast majority of teams
playing here are relatively close geographically.
Financial Impact
No cost to the FTCENTER Budget, the locker stall purchase cost, installation and reinstallation of all current
locker room amenities will be the responsibility of the MN Squatch. A positive budgetary impact will occur, as the
Jr. team will purchase a significant of amount of previously unsold ice and increase food service revenue.
Mission/Policy/Goal
Expand usage of the FTCENTER, create additional income revenue, while bringing new patrons into the facility.
