City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />February 22, 2006 <br />Council Member Terway asked whether the City can appropriate the City’s $16,000 and <br />asked whether that would satisfy the need. He then explained that this would be like <br />some other joint ventures that have been done. <br /> <br />Paul indicated the agreement started Centennial wanting 100% of 1340 hours and all <br />three wanted public skating access. He then said that for the $100,000 the cities are <br />purchasing 12% of the rights, which makes it 12% public skating and 88% for hockey. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra asked for a legal interpretation of the Resolution and the Agreement. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the City has the authority to do what is being asked but <br />the Council must make the decision as to whether to do this. He then said that he has not <br />seen an Agreement for review but the Resolution concerns him because it was specific. <br />He further said the City can express support without the specifics because the Agreement <br />is the binding document. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee indicated that he has an issue with this because there are going to <br />be other sports organizations that want contributions. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra indicated this was not budgeted for this year and so the dollars have to be <br />taken from somewhere and there are no Parks and Recreation funds. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar indicated that the Parks and Recreation Commission were in favor <br />of this but they do not have funds because the City is buying the lake property. He then <br />said one of the emails he got was questions on how this benefits those that do not have <br />young children. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar thanked Mayor Capra for her diligence in researching this <br />situation. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar indicated that this is a low investment for the benefits it can <br />provide. <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Dosh, 7095 Cottonwood Court, addressed the Council and said that he has <br />several issues with this because the figures seem nice and he knows many children <br />involved in Centennial Hockey but he has an issue with $16,000 is a lot of money to give <br />to the few children in hockey who are in Centerville. He then suggested using money for <br />a place to change skates at the outdoor rink and perhaps an attendant. <br /> <br />Mr. Dosh said that with 48 passes it will take 60 years to get 3,000 passes. He then said <br />that this is very frustrating and there are many areas where youth are involved in different <br />activities and this is a negative comment because this is his money and the City’s money <br />and he does not want this for use because it is not in this City. <br /> <br />Ms. Joann Mueller, a resident of Centerville on the Youth Hockey Board who has one <br />child who plays hockey and two (2) that do not and she is in support. She then said that <br />Page 8 of 13 <br />
