“Creating Community Through People, Parks, and Programs”
Date: January 7, 2011
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Hasting Hockey Booster Training Facility
Over the past several months, the Parks and Recreation Commission has heard from the Hastings Hockey
Boosters regarding their proposal to fundraise and construct a training facility on City property – preferably on
the Hastings Civic Arena Property. The direction from the PRC was to formally represent the Hockey Boosters’
position as well as the City’s position in a resolution to be presented to the City Council. A resolution was
brought before City Council this past fall and approved.
The Hastings Hockey Boosters hired a consultant to investigate information on fundraising capabilities. The
th
HHB reported back to the Parks and Recreation Committee of Council on January 5, 2011 that the estimates
and calculations by their consultant would be a fundraising target of approximately $375,000. With this figure,
the Parks and Recreation Committee of Council believes the independent building would be a better option and
would support the HHB fundraising efforts.
I am seeking a recommendation from the PRC supporting the Parks and Recreation Committee of Council
recommendation supporting the HHB fundraising efforts.
Thank you!
