NEW BUSINESS Centenniai HQCkey A,ssoeiation �inaneial Commitxn�nt Mr. Petersan e�lained he had requested this be added to the agend�. due to same �ssues that have risen at the ice rink with the Centennial Hockey Association (CHA}. Mr. , Peterson questioned if there was a financial cantribution made by the CHA, or, more specifically, is there a contract or obligation that the City has to this league? The ' Cvmmittee concurred that the Ciiy doesn't have any type of contract or legal obligation tfl the CHA.. Mr, Peterson explained that at the end vf each night, the rink attendants request tl�at the kids that have used the rink tbat day help clean the rank edges off. The local youth that use the rink are always v��illing to help, since it gives them a sense of I� ownership. The CHA isn't williug to help maintain the rink, and in fa.ct left one of the rink attendants feeling bad when he had request�d their assistance. Mr. Peterson e�rpressed his concerns tha.t the local youth aren't able to use the rink for three hours a �� day, three days a week due ta the CHA using the rink for hockey practiae. If the CHA. doesn't have a financial con#rihution to the rink, and th�y aren't willing to help maintau► the rink, why do they have priority over the rix�k? Mr. Porter offered to contact the CHA to discuss the agreement and responsibilities involved with the use of the rink. 2
