lowing present: Alderman Mike Carls, Alderman Kenneth Gruenhagen, and Alderman Ted
Beatty, in addition to Mayor James G. DeMeyer. Absent: Alderman John Mlinar. Also

2. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY HUTCHINSON DOWNTOWN RETAIL ASSOCIATION TO HOLD WINTER
CRAZY DAZE ON JANUARY 21, 1982
Alderman Beatty explained the Hutchinson Downtown Retail Association was requesting
permission for possible use of the sidewalk for Winter Crazy Daze to be held January
21, 19 82 .
Following discussion, it was moved by Alderman Carls, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen,
to approve the request by the Hutchinson Downtown Retail Association. Motion carried.
3. CONSIDERATION OF ICE ARENA PROPOSAL
City Administrator Plotz reported the three-year contract with the School District
for use of the Civic Arena for high school hockey expires this year. The Parks and
Recreation Director has prepared a proposal for the school as follows:
a) The School District would not be required to make any payment to the City
of Hutchinson for ice time.
b) The high school would be given 100 hours at no charge for games and prac-
tices.
c) The Civic Arena would receive all gate receipts from high school hockey
games. The admission price for games would remain the same for the 1982-83
season.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that before they could approve
the proposal, they needed to know: 1) what the amount of gate receipts are for a
hockey season; 2) what the school's plans are for a hockey program next year; 3) how
the games are scheduled (home and away games); and 4) how many activity passes are
used during a season.
Alderman Carls moved to direct the Recreation Director to communicate with the school
administration and inform them the City will be flexible in arriving at the 1982-83
season, with a decision to be made at a later date. Seconded by Alderman Beatty,
the motion carried.
