The purpose of the special meeting was to consider management options for
the Community Center operations.
Administrator Jilk reviewed six organizational charts, noting that the
chain of command needed to be determined but that the number of employees
needed under this management level or the exact positions would not be
determined until after a manager is hired. The ma.nager selected and
his/her experience and guidance would influence further development of
positions.
It was determined that an interview team would be formed consisting of some
of the Parks and Recreation Committee, Director of Parks and Recreation,
City Administrator, a Councilmember, a RAHA representative, and possibly an
arena manager from a close city. The person selected would need managing
skills and appropriate background; scheduling experience, promotional
skills and public relations.
Giliuson noted that if the ice arena is operated separately, the Red Wing
Facility School would possibiy send students to run it as an apprentice
program. He felt that profits could be generated year around with a strong
manager. .
Mayor McMenomy asked each Parks and Recreation Committee member to comment
on their ideas and concerns. Did they want direct involvement or have the
Community Center stand separately?
Director Bechtold talked about the many programs that are not profit
oriented for the community, i.e. teen p�ograms, latch �key, Tiny Tots,
Rosettes, summer youth programs.

considered separate. The banquet hall, gym, classrooms, and
auditorium/theater could be run as a non-profit facility for the community.
Ladzun voiced concern far the transition time for the community programs
already in place. She felt the Farks and Recreation Committee should stay
involved to help these programs under go any changes and to insure they
remain a strong element in the community.
Choices were narrowed to Options 2 and 5 . Each person commented on their
choice and why. `
Steve Hawkins from the Rosemount Area Hockey Association noted that speed
was essential in hiring a manager so that equipment purchases and
scheduling could begin. There are already items needed and residents
inquiring about the rental of the banquet facility.
