PUBLIC HEARINGS
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
9.a. Joint Powers Agreement with City of Inver Grove Heights
Schultz discussed the opportunity to acquire more ice time at the Inver Grove Heights Community
Center (IGHCC), which has two ice rinks (east & west rink). Rosemount Area Hockey Association
(RAHA) currently uses approximately 200 – 225 hours of ice at the IGHCC. Inver Grove Heights
(IGH) is offering a chance for RAHA to get a total of 550 peak hours of ice at the IGHCC from
November 1 through February 28 on an annual basis. In return for getting the additional ice at
IGHCC, the City of Inver Grove Heights is asking both the City of Rosemount and RAHA to help
pay for repairs to their west rink.
The engineer’s estimate to make the necessary repairs to the west rink at IGHCC is $1,011,000 and
staff is anticipating the estimate will be less once the bids come back. The cost would be split
between the City of Inver Grove Heights and the City of Rosemount, with RAHA reimbursing the
City of Rosemount one half of the portion that the City of Rosemount will be responsible for.
Schultz discussed the City of Rosemount and RAHA would not be responsible for any additional
operating costs or capital improvements to the IGHCC.
The City Attorney is currently working on a JPA between the City of Rosemount and RAHA that
will outline RAHA’s plans of paying for half of the City’s costs. The city would only be required to
pay what is outlined in the JPA.
ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS
FEBRUARY 5, 2018
Schultz mentioned the need for RAHA ice discussion that took place during the work session earlier
this evening and stated the need for Rosemount ice has not gone away, in spite of the recently failed
referendum. RAHA currently uses Rosemount ice at its max capacity. One of staffs’ main concerns
is if council decides to not go forward with this agreement, IGHCC may leave the rink as turf all
year round and we will be back to square one trying to find ice. This agreement will allow
Rosemount time to evaluate our needs for ice in the coming years.
Schultz pointed out a clause in the agreement that once staff evaluates the bids in May, if staff feels
the bids are not in line with our budget expectations, or if staff is unable to come to an agreement
with RAHA, staff could notify IGH and not move forward with the agreement.
Mayor Droste made the point that he does not feel comfortable adopting this with an Exhibit B that
doesn’t make mention of preliminary costs or will be modified when actual numbers come in.
Attorney Tietjen recommended that if council move a motion to pass this item to add a condition
upon the numbers changing and the council’s approval is conditioned upon that.
Motion by Nelson Second by Freske.
Motion to approve the City of Rosemount entering into a Joint Powers Agreement between
the City of Inver Grove Heights and the City of Rosemount Relating to the Veterans
Memorial Community Center West Rink Improvement Project and to authorize the
necessary signatures with the conditions in Payment Schedule Exhibit B charges to be
consistent and written as explained after the bidding process
Ayes: Nelson, Droste, Freske
Nays: Weisensel. Motion carried.
Council member Weisensel took the opportunity to thank staff for the work they completed for this
opportunity, although this particular deal is something he cannot currently support.
