Injured Player Update – Jim Carlson
 8 players that have filed for RAHA insurance policy, currently totaling 10 months of
payments.
Player Development Facility Update – Paul Frank
 Off-ice player development facility research currently being discussed with the City of
Rosemount. Recommendation would be to construct an attached facility to current ice
arena. RAHA will need to drive and go through proper approval process within the
City. RAHA would also need to apply for a conditional use permit and the City would
assume the responsibility for maintenance of the facility if this were to materialize.
 RAHA would need to supply a site plan document for an on-site facility that would
allow for an official business plan to be developed and submitted for approval by the
RAHA Board and then the City. This would require RAHA to hire an architectural
firm at an estimated cost of $2,000 not to exceed $2,500.
Motion to approve spend up to $2,500 for initial plan –Matt Berg
Second – Tim Rossini
Yes – 16, No – 0
