Under the Park Director's report, staff informed the committee of a
meeting held the evening before, January 28th, with the Lakeville
Athletic Association Hockey Booster Club. Steve explained the meeting
went very well. There was good discussion on the reason why previous
attempts to build an ice arena had failed. There were several ideas
as to how the boosters should proceed from this date. In summary, the
booster club would be meeting in February to formulate a work plan and
develop a committee that would begin to work towards the goal of
• building an ice arena in Lakeville.
The committee then went on to discuss several strategies concerning
the development of a bond referendum committee and the different
stages and committee assignments that would be necessary to be
successful with the issue.
At approximately 9:00 PM the committee was invited to join the
Lakeville City council in a work session. The purpose of this work
session was to discuss the proposed park development/acquisition
referendum. Park Director Steve Michaud gave a brief history as to
the issues leading up to the current proposal. Committee member
Messinger, Chairperson Anderson and committee members Gramstad and
Grenz also lent their support to the priorities being proposed in this
referendum. City council members then took turns asking questions.
The committee and staff answered all questions to the satisfaction of
the city council. Councilman Nelson did emghasize the need for an ice
arena and the amount of years this issue has been discussed.
In summary, council concurred at this time with the identified
priorities and gave the committee and staff the official authority to
continue their efforts as outlined in the proposed time line.
A time line was presented to city council, which will be presented and
accepted, only, at the council meeting scheduled for February 3,
1986. Committee members thanked council members for their .time and
returned to their meeting.
