ISSUE
At the February 5, 2018 City Council regular meeting, the Council approved a 10 Year Joint Powers
Agreement with the City of Inver Grove Heights that would have the City of Rosemount and the
Rosemount Area Hockey Association (RAHA) paying for improvements on the Inver Grove Heights
Community Center (IGHCC) west rink in return for having access to additional prime ice on the west rink
at the IGHCC.
At the City Council work session meeting on May 5, 2018, the Council reviewed a 10 Year Reimbursement
and Assignment Agreement with the RAHA. The agreement was drafted by the City Attorney. RAHA
discussed and voted to approve this agreement at their board meeting on Wednesday, May 2. The
agreement establishes that RAHA and Rosemount will equally split the Rosemount portion of costs for
improvements at IGHCC.
BACKGROUND
In the summer of 2016, Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department was contacted by staff from the
City of Inver Grove Heights about an opportunity for RAHA to secure additional ice at the Inver Grove
Heights Community Center (IGHCC). At the time, both rinks at the IGHCC were in need of major
repairs. The east rink’s repairs were needed immediately and were completed in the summer of 2017. The
repairs for the west rink are expected to be required in the next year or two.
RAHA currently uses approximately 200 – 230 hours of ice at the IGHCC. Inver Grove Heights 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 proposed west rink improvement project would include a new rink floor, supply header, electrical,
dasher board improvements, a new ice resurfacer, design fees and contingency. The City of Rosemount
and RAHA would not be responsible for any additional operating costs or capital improvements to the
IGHCC.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending the City Council enter into the Reimbursement and Assignment Agreement with
RAHA.
