RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A ONE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH DULUTH AMATEUR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION FOR LEASE OF THE CITY’S FRYBERGER ARENA FOR NOMINAL CONSIDERATION.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to enter into a one-year agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 1, with Duluth Amateur Hockey Association for the lease of the city’s Fryberger Arena for nominal consideration.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes a one-year agreement with Duluth Amateur Hockey Association (“DAHA”) for the lease of the city’s Fryberger Arena to provide hockey programing for youth ages 3-14. DAHA has used and operated this facility for many years under previous agreements. There is no usage fee associated with this agreement because of the public benefit provided by DAHA’s provisions of its services. However, DAHA is responsible to reimburse the city for any and all utilities furnished to the arena between October 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020, as well as perform cleaning and routine maintenance duties in the arena and absorb all costs related thereto. DAHA and the City decided to enter into a one-year agreement, rather than a multi-year agreement, in light of the tenuous condition of the building and its ice making plant.
