option as promoted by Youth Hockey Representatives. Youngquist identified to get to that result
major cost components were left out such as site preparation and an ice plant. Youngquist
confirmed the vision plan and cost, but identified a Phase I project that accommodates the full
vision plan. Both reported it was a good meeting and that staff has been directed to identify some
financing options limiting the City's liability should profit not cover operations and debt service.

ADMINISTRA nON
Kalland Avenue NE Sidewalk Winter Maintenance
City Administrator Kruse reported having a conversation with a resident who was upset that the
City was not maintaining the new Kalland A venue sidewalk. Kruse explained that the message
staff received from earlier discussions with the Council was not plow and maintain the sidewalk,
as the slope does not meet code.
After some discussion the consensus of the Council is to maintain the sidewalk and ask staff to
salt the sidewalk frequently this winter until the sidewalk can be replaced next summer and to
mail all residents on that block a letter infonning them of our maintenance plan and summer
sidewalk construction plan.
