Arena Manager’s Report
Nafstad updated the board on the status of hiring two seasonal full-time employees for the
2017-2018 season mentioning waiting on back ground checks before offering employment. In
addition, Nafstad reminded the board that about six months prior to the second sheet of ice
opening they should be considering hiring the full-time assistant.
Old Business
Nafstad provided an update to the board on the draft Arena Management Agreement stating
that all three entities are generally in agreement to the terms of the agreement. However, one
item has been raised as a concern; the agreement does not have a limit on the capital
expenditures that can be approved by the Arena Board. Past practice has been that the board
brings any large capital improvement back to the three entities for approval, if the current
dedicated capital improvement fund doesn’t have the available balance to cover the cost.
There was discussion on what the options were for limits of which Kassel mentioned that the
board should have the authority to use the current dedicated capital improvement fund balance
plus the annual contribution from each entity (which is currently $15,000 each) if it has not
already in the balance for that year. He continued to state that any improvement that exceeds
that amount should go back to the three entities for approval prior to authorizing purchase.
Lindquist asked Nafstad if the current contribution amount is adequate or if the board should
be looking at recommending an increase. Nafstad explained that the current contribution has
been a recommendation by the board to the three entities and that the entities have voluntarily
agreed to contribute the $15,000 annually. The current annual contribution is not a
requirement it is voluntary. Nafstad recommended annual contribution amount should be
looked at annually and looking out at future large capital improvements during this review.
Kasel suggested that looking at the future large capital improvement after the two sheets of ice
are in operation. Some of these items include the roof and the floor of the existing arena. The
board continued the discussion of how to look at future capital funding and a limit in the Arena

Management Agreement on capital purchases. There was a consensus from the board that any
unbudgeted capital expenditures related to the Arena exceeding the dedicated capital
improvement fund balance must be approved by each entity prior to the Arena Board’s
authorization to purchase.
STMA Youth Hockey
Josh Opiola updated the board that they will be close to six hundred skaters this season which
is about 22% growth. Also, he provided preliminary hours for the next sheet of ice committed
to a minimum of 1,200 hours. In addition, the district five directors has committed to a
tournament in the near future at the STMA Arena once the second sheet of ice is in operation.
The potential for parking during the construction and that Youth Hockey Association is a
partner and are will to help to supplement the parking shortfall.
Dr. Ann-Marie Foucault showed the board the rendering of the Arena Addition and the plans
mentioning that the bid date is October 19, 2017.

and that negative balance is projected to last more than 90 days,
Albertville shall notice the Arena Board of the additional amount
necessary to properly operate the Agency Operation Fund and the
Arena Board shall forward such additional amount within 60 days of
receipt of such notice. If the Arena Board is in need of additional
funding from the Cities and the School District to cover a negative
balance, the Cities shall each contribute one-sixth of the funds needed
to cover such shortfall and the School District shall contribute four-
sixths of the funds needed to cover such shortfall. All such funds shall

this Agreement shall contribute one-third of the funds needed to cover
such shortfall. All such funds shall be provided within 30 days of
request by the Arena Board.
E.The existing Agency capital fund held by Albertville (“Agency Capital
Fund”) shall remain the capital fund for the Arena even after the

thereafter be used only for capital improvements on the Arena or
common heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment that is
used by both the Arena and the Arena Addition.
F.The School District shall establish an Arena Addition capital fund
(“Arena Addition Capital Fund”) and shall be used only for capital
improvements on the Arena Addition or common heating, ventilation
and air conditioning equipment that is used by both the Arena and the
Arena Addition.
G.Albertville shall endeavor to keep the Agency Operation Fund balance
at the end of the fiscal year at 35% of the estimated annual
expenditures of the Agency Operation Fund. In the event the Agency
Operation Fund has excess accumulated profits not needed for future
operations (as reasonably determined by the Arena Board), such
excess profits shall first be split evenly with one-half transferred to the
Agency Capital Fund and one half transferred to the Arena Addition
