MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 12, 1994 <br />(#2) ORONO HOCKEY ASSOCIATION PRESENTATION <br />Bob Halvorson, President of the Orono Area Sports Facilities, Inc., an oflT-shoot of the <br />Orono Hockey Boosters, updated the Council on their findings for additional ice <br />facilities. He stated this need is due to the lack of suflBcicnt ice time for the present <br />programs. Halvorson and Cindy Bergen, a mother of three hockey players, two girls and <br />one boy, reported the explosive growth of the hockey program for girls. Other uses <br />bendes hockey for ice time are figure skating, open skate, and a newly developed <br />disability program. Halvorson said this would truly be a community rink. <br />Three sites were evaluated. An expansion of the Pond Arena in Mound would take more <br />time than the association ‘eeis they have to facilitate their ice needs in the near future. <br />The second site is land recti.^’y ceded by Orono to Wayzata. However, a stoplight on <br />Hwy 12 b felt to be necessa.* y for the Wayzata site, but is not desired. The third site has <br />been deemed to be the choice of the association. This site would be on the Orono School <br />District properly north of the high school. It is reported that the school district is in favor <br />of this location. <br />The association plans to initiate fund-raising efforts in early January. They would like an <br />indication of the Council’s view of the high school site before thqr move ahead with their <br />fund-raising effort. The Council did not voice objections to the site, but indicated <br />potential obstacles, such as a MUSA amendment to enable the site to be served by sewer. <br />(•#3) CONSENT AGENDA <br />Items #14, 19, and 20 were added to the Consent Agenda. <br />Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve the Consent Agenda as amended.
