Economic Development Coordinator Nanci Klein presented a staff report on proposed options for the ice rink or other holiday activities. She noted the ice rink had been included in the current fiscal year budget. She also noted the proposed contract had a termination clause and payment schedule included, in case of cancellation. She said staff is asking for Council direction on use of the funds for holiday events, decorations, or an ice rink. Upon Council request, staff clarified the time line for terminating the contract and payment options. Mayor Corbett said the time line could give staff time to raise funds to defray the costs. It was noted that last year the project began late; and, therefore, impacted the fund - raising ability. Vice Mayor Polvorosa noted that over 1,000 children used the rink last year for free, and this was a great benefit to the community.
