Agenda Number:
TO: Dwight Johnson, City Manager
FROM: Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
DATE: February 20, 2003, for Council Meeting of February 25
SUBJECT: Ice Arena Study Session — Rink Expansion
1. BACKGROUND: Attached for City Council review is background information on the
request from Providence Academy and Wayzata Youth Hockey to consider expanding the
current Plymouth Ice facility to a third sheet. While there are numerous questions about a
project of this size and magnitude I have tried to provide a basic understanding of the issues
as we know them today. Dave Sorensen and Greg Gibson will be present representing
Wayzata Youth Hockey. Dan Frederick and Bill Cooper will be present representing
Providence Academy.
I believe the Council needs to look at two primary issues when evaluating this proposal. The
first concern is the long range financial stability and business plan of the Ice Center. The
basic underlying question would be does this proposal help or hinder the long range viability
of the finances of the Ice Center operation? The second question centers around the
community good. The Council needs to judge and weigh the social benefits associated with
this proposal.
Tuesday night's meeting will not provide enough time to have an in—depth conversation on
all of the questions and issues that need to be reviewed for this proposal. However, because
of Providence Academy's request and timing on this project, it would be very beneficial if
the Council can provide some direction to the Hockey Association, Providence Academy and
staff regarding this subject.

G. Letter from Providence
H. Letter from Wayzata Youth Hockey
4. OPTIONS
A. Build third sheet at Ice Center
Pro
More Plymouth kids skate
Less travel time for Plymouth families
Providence gets high school teams and
saves money
Ice Center is fiscally stronger
Larger tournaments bring money to
Plymouth businesses
Allows for more public open skating
Allows for more adult use of rink
Increase off ice revenue such as
concessions, etc.
Makes better use of management staff,
clerical staff, etc.
Interest rates are very low
Building cost may be very good
We can try to keep the cost for skating
lower over time
We are guaranteed a renter for the 3-6
pm time slot
Another boost for City Center area
Unique opportunity for a major public—
private partnership
B. Do Nothing
Con
Will generate more traffic
More parking needed
May impact wetland
Uses funds that could go to other
projects
Creates hard surface parking
Requires more part—time employees on
payroll
Uncertain economic and fiscal
conditions
Potential neighborhood concerns
Will require considerable staff time
Pro Con
Saves capital dollars Plymouth skaters get less ice time
Less parking/traffic generated Plymouth skaters travel to other rinks
Rink idea can always come back in Cost for skating may go up faster than
future is necessary
Providence may build rink providing ice Providence builds their own rink
time to Plymouth kids which could take revenue away from
city's rink
Limits our ability to host larger
tournaments
C. City Partners with Providence at Different Site
Pro Con
Rink is available to rent Will cost city money to build
Saves driving time Could cost city to run by taking
revenue from us
Some of community's ice needs met Requires manager and staff
Does not affect parking at our site Must find land
Build larger parking lot offsite
Users can't visit LifeTime while kids
are skating
Lost opportunity for City Center
Does not help public skating times, or
girls figure skating
RESOLUTION No. 647
DECLARING THE INTENTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL RELATING TO
ACCOUNTING FOR THE ICE ARENA OPERATION, FUTURE ICE ARENA
RENTAL RATES, AND THAT THE ICE ARENA OPERATION BE SELF-
SUSTAINING.
Whereas, the City Council must establish ice arena rental rates for the opening of the
Plymouth Ice Arena; and,
Whereas, the exact amount of revenue that the rates will provide is unknown; and,
Whereas, the new ice arena was presented to the voters as an operation that would not
require tax funds to operate; and,
Whereas, the City Council wishes to take action to assure that the Plymouth Ice Arena
operating budget, including reserves for maintenance and equipment replacement, is
self-sustaining and will require no property tax subsidy;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Plymouth,
Minnesota that the Ice Arena budget be established as an enterprise fund operation with
its operating results, including funding for reserves for maintenance and equipment
replacement, accumulating and carrying over each year to the ensuing fiscal year; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Ice Arena rental rates shall be examined on a
periodic basis and established at the rates necessary to eliminate any accrued deficit or
prevent any projected deficit for the ensuing fiscal year, so that sufficient revenue is
generated to cover all operations without a tax subsidy.
Adopted by the City Council on November 20, 1996.

SUBJECT: Lifetime Fitness/Ice Center Parking Calculations
According to the 1996 staff report for approval of the Lifetime Fitness/Ice Center, staff
determined 700 parking spaces were required for the site. The staff report stated that the
site plan identifies 692 on-site spaces plus additional on -street parking spaces. The
number of on -street spaces is not identified, however staff determined that the spaces
provided exceeded requirements. I double-checked the site plan and found that there are
actually only 645 spaces shown. There have been two parking additions since the
original approvals. The following is a list of spaces available:
645 spaces identified on approved site plan
58 spaces added in 1998 west of outdoor pool (#98067)
72 spaces added - 20 in front parking area and 52 near pond in 2002 (#2002088)
775 total on-site parking spaces
To increase the capacity of the ice center an additional 400-500 seats, the Ordinance
would require 100 to 125 parking spaces.
775 total available
700 required for existing uses
75 extra spaces available for expansion
On -street spaces may meet some of additional parking need for the remaining 25-50
spaces required for the proposed expansion, however, there would likely need to be
additional parking constructed on site.

Re: Ice Arena
Dear Mr. Blank,
On behalf of Providence Academy, I would like to express our enthusiasm and outline
our requirements and financial support for the construction of a third sheet of ice at the
Plymouth Ice Arena.
Background
Providence Academy is an independent Roman Catholic college -preparatory school. In
it's second year of existence the school has 357 students enrolled in grades pre-
kindergarten through the l Oth
grade. Grades 11 and 12 will open successively in the next
two school years — 2004 and 2005. One half of the student body identifies itself as
practicing the Catholic faith while the other one half is comprised of many different
religious faiths.
Approximately 50 % of the currently enrolled students are residents of the City of
Plymouth. For the coming school year, we have received to date 140 new student
enrollment applications of which approximately 40% are residents of the City of
Plymouth. Our total student enrollment for the coming school year is expected to be
approximately 450 — 475 students. At final build out, the school will have a capacity of a
950 - 1000 students.
Phase II of the Providence Academy building program is to be completed in the March -
April time frame of this year and will allow the school's population to grow to 750
students. Construction phases III through V are expected to be undertaken and completed
in the next 5-7 year period. Current facility costs exceed $20 million dollars with an
additional $15-20 million dollars in construction costs needed to fund stages III through
V.

E-mail: info@providenceacademy.org • Web: www.providenceacademy.org
Current Athletic Program Plans
As Providence Academy student population continues to grow, additional athletic
opportunities primarily in the high school are required. It is our intention to offer as soon
as practical both a men's and women's varsity and junior varsity hockey program once
adequate ice rink facilities can be obtained.
With this said, it is our first choice to partner with the City of Plymouth and Wayzata
Youth Hockey in order to build a 3rd
sheet of ice at the Plymouth Ice Center. It is worth
noting that Providence Academy currently shares athletic fields with various Plymouth
area athletic organizations and opens it's buildings and facilities to community and
charitable events on a regular basis.
Anticipated Hockey Program Needs
Ice time requirements — 4 hours daily — split up one hour before school and three hours
after school during the high school hockey season (mid- October through March).
Captain's practices would require 2-3 hours ice time per week (July through mid
October).
Locker Room and Storage Facilities - two dedicated locker rooms — one for the men's
program and one for the women's program.
Financial Commitment
Providence Academy is willing to pledge $1,000,000 towards the construction costs of
this facility.
As it is our hope to be able to offer a high school hockey program for the start of the 2005
school year and as the growing Wayzata Youth Hockey association requires additional
facilities and ice time it would appear that the need for a third sheet of ice is great and the
timing is proper to undertake such a project.
Sincerely,
Z,

Mayor and Council
City of Plymouth
Mayor and Council:
Wayzata Youth Hockey strongly encourages the City of Plymouth in the building of a 3rd
ice sheet at Plymouth Ice Center. The need for additional ice time is overwhelming and
is limiting the opportunity for City of Plymouth Youth to participate in positive sports
activities.
Speaking on behalf of the Wayzata Youth Hockey membership, it is our intent to support
the City of Plymouth in the construction of an additional ice sheet by providing broad
based community support, financial resources and a long-term commitment to purchase
future ice. This addition of a third sheet of ice at the Plymouth Ice Center is critical not
only to the financial future of PIC, but also helps us assure continuality of programs. Our
ability to meet growth challenges will be enhanced by the ability to centrally manage
many of our organizational activities such as tournaments, training, etc. The following
documents are attached that support Wayzata Youth Hockey's growth needs.

WYHA Ice Requirements
Under Resourced Activities
As in the past, Wayzata Youth Hockey desires to work cooperatively with the City of
Plymouth and other parties to fulfill a community priority in the construction of an
additional ice sheet at PIC. We understand that Wayzata Youth Hockey needs to make a
long-term commitment to ice purchasing at PIC. However, as a not for profit
organization, we are required to limit excess working capital. With that restriction, our
ability to fund raise is limited until we have the construction project approved. Wayzata
Youth Hockey would commit to contributing $250,000 through immediate fund raising
activities. Additionally, we are committed to further fundraising that will significantly
contribute to this project once it is initiated.
We look forward to working in partnership with all interested parties to facilitate the
construction of an additional ice arena at Plymouth Ice Center. As always, thank you for
your continued support.
Sincerely,
Gregory G. Gibson

Ice currently purchased from arenas such as Wayzata Central Middle School, Blake
School, Ridder Arena, Mariucci Arena, New Hope Arena.
Additional ice to be resourced from yet to be determined arenas. Ability to secure ice
at reasonable times and distances from Plymouth is questionable.
Under Resourced Activities
Current Teams
o Unable to purchase sufficient ice to satisfy current teams
o Limits number of travel teams
o Multiple Teams utilizing ice limits performance
o Travel to other arenas inhibits student performance
o Playing outside Plymouth has negative financial impact on city
Girls only Mite Program
o Unable to initiate program due to limited ice resources
o Substantially increases number of girls playing
o #I reason K-3 girls not signing up is because they play with boys
o Aggressive marketing campaign to attract girls to ice hockey
o Additional 8 & Under, 19 & Under girls teams with expanded ice
resources
Off Season Training Programs
o WYHA sponsored programs, 10-40, STP, Checking Clinic, Summer and
Fall Clinics, C -League skill development programs, etc.
o Non-WYHS groups, Edgework, Carnes, Select Teams, etc.
o WYHA pre -season opening skating
o Showcase, Mash, Adult Mens and Womens Leagues, etc.
o Open public skating opportunities
C League
o Additional week day ice time required for current teams
o Fair play and assured play by participants through 18 years of age
o Spring, fall and summer skills programs for C -League players
o Offers opportunity for new participants to start at a later age
Mites
o Direct marketing campaign to all K-3 students
0 9% growth, boys only
o Unable to offer mini -Mite Program
o Mini -mite players currently enroll in Orno and Maple Grove
Tournaments
o Currently host 9 Tournaments, would like to increase by minimally 3
tournaments annually
o C League and Girls tournaments turn away 15-20 teams each year
o Double the size of existing tournaments, 8 team tournament expands to 16
teams, 16 team tournament expands to 32 teams
o Host additional state tournaments
o Economic impact of visiting teams on Plymouth hospitality establishments
o Prestige and fund raising impact of larger tournaments allowing WYHA to
improve its fund raising capability
