Set Agenda
The agenda was adopted as proposed. It was noted the meeting was in addition to the Board's regular
monthly meeting and necessary to keep the Hat Trick Hockey Lease moving forward.
Hat Trick Hockev Lease
The Board reviewed the layout of the proposed 2,800 square foot retail buildout and discussed the
quoted costs associated with the proposed leasehold improvements, which are estimated to be
$300,000.
Nafstad explained the mezzanine buildout option for use as dryland space and noted the quoted cost to
include the improvements was estimated at$200,000.
Nafstad informed the Board the Youth Hockey Association was not able to attend the meeting but is
evaluating the project.
Couri and Nafstad presented the lease agreement and addressed questions from the Board.
Longberg and Sacks explained their timeline and their need to have a better understanding if the lease
was something the Board was open to with or without the dryland space. Longburg also explained the
risk Hat Trick was assuming with the proposed buildout and lease.
The Board had lengthy discussions on leasing the space, rent and rent payment options, rent rates if
Hat Trick exercises its renewal options; as well as, what type of agreement with Youth Hockey would
be needed if Youth Hockey decided to move forward with the dryland option.
The unofficial general consensus of the Board was endorsement of the lease agreement with Hat Trick
Hockey and direction to staff to develop a similar agreement with Youth Hockey should they build the
dryland mezzanine.
