From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Hastings Hockey Boosters Training Facility
A proposal was brought before the PRC and Parks and Recreation Committee from the
Hastings Hockey Boosters to construct and outfit with equipment a training facility to be
built on City property at the Hastings Civic Arena. After meeting with the Commission and
the Committee of Council, the recommendation by the both groups was to direct staff to
produce a resolution outlining the proposal as well as stipulations for this project to
proceed.
I have enclosed the resolution that was brought before the PRC and Parks and Recreation
Committee of Council for review and comment.
