He also asked what the current plan is relating to the information they heard earlier in this summer on recreational facilities.” Page 3, Paragraph 14, be amended to read “Councilmember Nelson feels that the city should be getting market rate for all amenities. For example, there is an imbalance between renting a court, which are below market rates, and ice rink fees, which are market rate. Need to meet in the middle and have a plan. Also need to communicate to the public so they can know the plan and support it, he feels in the past there wasn’t much done to let the community know why we are asking them to vote.” Council member DeBettignies inquired about what he meant by “market rate”. Council member Nelson stated that he was referring to being similar to other communities. He meant all facilities and did not mean to pit basketball against hockey. Mayor Droste pointed out that baseball fields are funded differently, via park dedication fees to developers.
