Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />July 12, 2023 <br />Page 7 of 8 <br />Commissioner Iglesias motioned to approve the application for 50% reimbursement. <br />Councilmember Leh seconded. <br />Roll call vote: Commissioner Smith: Yes; Commissioner Harald: No; Commissioner Williams: <br />Yes; Councilmember Leh: Yes; Commissioner Iglesias: Yes. The application was Approved. <br />Public Comments: <br />Eric Reed with Acme Fine Goods stated that he would fully endorse approval of this application. <br />"I am a good business in town watching other businesses taking a long time to finish because of <br />the process. With this business to be my neighbor, to finish this project quickly is an appropriate <br />use of LRC funding to show the city is actually here to help businesses be successful." <br />Ice Rink Electricity Costs <br />The EV Specialist provided the estimated electricity costs to run the ice rink and asked if LRC <br />would be open to covering electricity costs for 2023/2024 ice skating season. This would be <br />close to a $20,000 cost. The previous vendor covered this cost in the past, but Rocky Rinks did <br />not include these costs in their estimate. <br />Commissioner Smith asked who is in charge of when the chiller runs. Rocky Rinks staff would <br />determine when to run the chiller. Usually, you want person who generates the cost to be <br />responsible for the cost. The risk seems low since LRC will receive revenues. Commissioner <br />Harald commented that it feels like we are slipping into owning the ice rink. The upcoming <br />budget amendment will include this funding request. The City Manager noted that the city might <br />operate this in a future year. Staff will work on budget amendment for electricity costs. <br />The City Attorney noted that April will come back with a cooperative agreement with the budget <br />amendment. <br />Commissioner Comments: <br />None. <br />Public Comments: None. <br />Discussion: LRC Meeting Date and Time <br />Staff requests possible change to the schedule, perhaps first or Third Wednesday of the month. <br />This can be coordinated. Commissioner Harald commented that he is hesitant to do this without <br />Chair Adler present. Staff will send a poll to determine a new meeting day. <br />Future Agenda Items <br />_Discussion Items for Next Regular Meeting, Wednesday, August 9, 2023: <br />Ice Rink <br />a.
