a. the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation review all applications against the City’s Ice Allocation policy to determine the number of hours each applicant is entitled to on a City-wide basis;

b. the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, forward to Arena Boards of Management all applications for Ice at their locations together with the total hours each applicant is entitled to on a City-wide basis;

As appropriate the Boards shall negotiate with other Board-operated Arenas and City staff, and subject to informing and consulting with the applicants finalize their allocation schedules for submission for approval to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation;

d. the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation will review the proposed allocation schedules and issue letters indicating whether the allocations are in compliance or not in compliance with the City’s Ice Allocation Policy; and

5. City Council request the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation, to consult with Arena Boards of Management, and user groups, existing, new and emerging, with respect to the new application and allocation process prior to implementation.

6. City Council direct that staff continue negotiations and develop a business plan with the Leaside Board of Management on the ‘twinning’ of the existing ice pad which includes financial impact and community benefits of the project; and if suitable terms can be reached, staff will report on the business requirements and necessary approvals for the 2011 Capital Budget.
