H.A�F� AGREEMENT�
Mr. Don Howard, representative of the Hockey Association of Fridley (H.A.F.), was
present on behalf of President Curt Larson, to discuss the renewal of the Agreement
between the City of Fridley and the H.A.F., for the 1972 - 1973 Season. The copies of
the Agreement and the By-Laws which the City has are somewhat outdated. One example of
this is that the H.A.F. Board of Directors has increased from seven to nine members.
Gary Stimmler, who is also a member of the H.A.F., provided a copy of the By-Laws with
many of the changes noted. He stated that several amendments have been made, but that
he didn't think a new and complete set had ever been compiled.
Mr. Howard said that there are no major problems or changes as £ar as the H.A.F. is
concerned. Mr. Brown said that the City was in agreement.
n Mr. Brown stated that the City would be maintaining the main lighted Hockey r�nk behi.nd
the Senior High School. In return, the City and the H.A.F. will have the use of the
rink after 6:00 p.m., each night.
Mr. Howard took this opportunity to commend the Park Maintenance Staff for a job
extremely well done during the 1971 - 1972 Season. He said that he had received
many fine reports and most of them inferred that it was the best ice anywhere in
the State. When Fridley's teams were playing teams from outside the City, they prefer-
red to play on Fridley's ice because of the extremely good conditions.
GRACE HIGH SCHOOL RINK�
Mr. Wagar asked about the status of the Grace High School Rink. Mr. Brown reported
that it had been surveyed and staked by the City and Grace was responsible for the
grading. The Maintenance Staff is almost finished with the re-conditioning of the
warming house and it will be in operation this Winter.
I�RTH PARK�
Mr. Brown reported that Medtronic has withdrawn their offer to finance a study of the
North Park area to determine �rhat development is best suited. He stated that there is
enough controversary between the two groups and their desires, that a study will no
longer provide the solution.
