;.- �-� :�:: �r�' ect ���rj #��� - � � <br />.,�.. , . . . <br />In early 2005, following months of technical discussions and financial reviews related to the malfunction <br />of the OVAL chiller, the Roseville City Council directed Parks and Recreation staff to assemble a <br />community task force to address the long-term viability of the Skating Centex/OVAL and provide the City <br />Council with a report outlining OVAL operational options and facility management recommendations. <br />A committed group of 18 community members representing facility user groups (hockey, figure skating, <br />bandy and speedskating), city staff, commission and council members, local business and civic members, <br />Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission, OVAL advocates and critics were convened to review facility <br />operations, analyze financial implications, explore "out-of-the-box" solutions, evaluate usage, and <br />encourage public comments and feedback. The OVAL Task Force was a very ambitious project. The <br />Task Force met as a group 10 times over a span of 15 weeks, contributed a combined total of over 500 <br />volunteer hours and created a very comprehensive final report that now serves as the operational and <br />financial guide to the future for the Roseville Skating Center. <br />o Task Force members were asked to listen to the community at-large and to share task force <br />information resulting in better informed users and residents. <br />o Task Force members were given the freedom to think creatively and without boundaries resulting in <br />new and varied funding opportunities. <br />o Task Force members were asked to share their expertise and their community connections resulting in <br />a million dollar gift allowing for the facility to be revitalized. <br />o Task Force members were asked to make a commitment resulting in awe-inspiring participation, vast <br />community support and strong political cooperation. <br />��a � <br />�� _'���� <br />��• '' � � <br />�"Y,: •� • <br />'iai'� . <br />.. � � . . <br />JI'd� fY�aµtitiY �idmf7 C'k�Sl�pfuluiltjG <br />fi � . <br />� {}r <br />� .. ��. <br />i �. <br />-• _ Y <br />��- L� _i� : _ . <br />.. �� � . i � <br />L.. .._ .. r. �J�4�.
