New Business <br />The Park Board inquired about the status of the Elliot Funk <br />property. <br />Anderson said the property was not greatly needed and the price <br />was rather. .high. A decision was postponed until December - <br />after the Community Center referendum. <br />A. Lake Region Hockey Association Ice Arena Proposal <br />Mike Kreidler was present representing the Lake Region Hockey <br />Association. Kreidler explained the LRHA's history. There <br />about 500 kids involved on the Mounds View side and about 300 <br />on the Irondale side. LRHA's goal is to increase these <br />numbers. LRHA has raised about $125,000 toward an ice arena. <br />Approximately $400,000-500,000 is needed to build an ice arena. <br />The LRHA is hoping to get the land donated and that is why they <br />are approaching New Brighton. LRHA would finance, build and <br />donate the hockey rink to the City if the City donated the <br />land. Kreidler feels that if they could get a commitment on <br />the land, the fund raising would be made easier. LRHA would <br />approach corporations to help raise the money. <br />Delano School District just built a rink for $650,000. They <br />had a down payment of $80,000. They have about 80 participants <br />in their program. They have scheduled about 1,900 hours of ice <br />time at $75/hr. <br />
