Roseville 2018 Legislative Priorities <br />Seek financial support for capital improvements at the Guidant John Rose Minnesota <br />OVAL and support facilities through the 2020 State Bonding Bill <br />The Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL and support facilities have been an ongoing financial <br />partnership with the State of Minnesota since its inception and construction. Specially, the <br />OVAL was constructed in 1993 after receiving $1.9 million from the State of Minnesota. <br />General capital improvements were made in 2006 and 2008 after receiving an additional $1.1 <br />million from the State of Minnesota. <br />The OVAL is home to local Hockey organizations, Greater MN Speedskating, Midway <br />Speedskating, USA and MN Bandy. <br />Due to the state and regional nature of the Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL and the ongoing <br />financial partnership with the State of Minnesota, it is again time to consider seeking financial <br />support for upcoming capital improvement needs. It is important that this financial partnership <br />continue as time and depreciation warrants capital improvements to the facility. <br />An assessment of the mechanical systems and infrastructure condition is underway and is <br />expected to be completed early in 2018. This report will have an estimate of the capital costs <br />needed for the Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL. In addition, staff is working with OVAL <br />affiliated groups to determine their future needs. <br />The deadline to be considered in the 2020 State of Minnesota Bonding Bill is June, 2019. <br />The City of Roseville supports legislation to include the Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL <br />and support facilities in the 2020 State of Minnesota Bonding Bill for necessary capital <br />improvements. <br />Approved December 11, 2017 <br />2 9 <br /> <br />
