Reimbursement and Assignment Agreement – Rosemount Area Hockey Association EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Regular Meeting: May 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM: Reimbursement and Assignment Agreement – Rosemount Area Hockey Association AGENDA SECTION: Unfinished Business PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director AGENDA NO: 8.b. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Reimbursement and Assignment Agreement APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the City of Rosemount entering into a Reimbursement and Assignment agreement with the Rosemount Area Hockey Association. 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.
