ATTACHMENT 15 Task Force Meetin� Minutes had also mentioned that an infusion of up to $500,000 may be needed either for the immediate repair or for other maintenance issues that may arise before a depreciation fund could build up. Focusing on the $250,000 annual shortfall we then identified 6 areas to focus on: l.potential sponsorships and partnering opportunities, 2. regional potentialities, 3. what share of the operations should the city be expected to "cover" as part of the recreation mission, 4. charitable gambling, 5. operational efficiency and 6. possible profit centers within the facility. We decided to focus the discussion at the Apri128 meeting on sponsorship — what might this mean, naming rights, advertising, etc. Bill and Barc�ay will share some of their knowledge concerning these issues to help us discover possibilities, and also we'll look at the regional impact ofthe OVAL and possibilities for state funding as a regional center a�dlor looking at a local option sales tax. On May 12 we'll focus on operating efficiency for the skating center, including user fees, off season scheduling — Brad, Lonnie and Kevin will lead this discussion, we'll also look at the potential profit centers within the facility — expanding merchandising or creating a pro shop, improving concessions, improving marketing and other ideas. May 26 we plan to focus on where the skating center fits in the mission of the Parks and Rec. department and the City to help define how the skating center affects quality of life in Roseville and what part of our tax dollars we as tax payers would expect to go towards maintaining this quality, we also plan to look at the contributions user groups provide to the city through their charitable gambling operations and try to determine if it is appropriate to earmark some of those contributions to skating center operations ATTACHMENT 15 Task Force Meeting Minutes
