Title
Consider Resolution Accepting Monetary Donation Received for New Ice Arena Project for Dryland Training.
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council Approves Resolution Accepting Monetary Donation Received for New Ice Arena Project.
Note: Accepting Donations requires five (5) Affirmative votes from the City Council.
Summary Report:
As part of the partnership with the Northfield Hockey Association (NHA), the NHA has done a wonderful job securing donations for the New Ice Arena. When Council approved the contract with RJM construction on May 6, 2025 after the bids were received, the NHA was still closing the fundraising gap to add the Dryland Training alternate to the project.
The NHA has continued fundraising and has secured enough donations and pledges to fund the Dryland Training. Accepting this donation will add the Dryland Training back into the project.
This resolution will accept the monetary donation of $862,393.00 for the City to use toward the Dryland Training on the new Ice Arena.
Alternative Options:
NA
