Re: Kathryn Herman Program Agreement
Background:
For the past two winter seasons, the Parks and Recreation Committee offered a Learn to Skate
program. The program was successfully run by Kathryn Herman, who received 80 percent of the
registration fees. The cost of the class was $59 for the six -week program and had 26
registrations last year. Herman would like to offer the Learn to Skate program again this year.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve an agreement to offer the Learn to Skate Program for the 2016
season with 80 percent of the registration fees to go to Herman?
Proposal Details:
The Parks and Recreation Committee is proposing a structured Learn to Skate Program that
would be taught by Herman, the Skating Director of Cutting Edge Skating Association. The
class would run the same time as last year's program, from 3:45 p.m. to 5 p.m., one day a week
for six weeks at the same cost as last year of $59. Herman would receive 80 percent of the
registration fees as compensation.
Herman is the Skating Director of Cutting Edge Skating Association in Forest Lake. Herman
also coaches the CESA's figure skating club and their Learn to Skate program. Herman is a
member of the ISI, and has completed concussion training required by the State of Minnesota for
all coaching staff.
A copy of the proposed agreement between Herman and the City was modeled after last year's
agreement and is included in your meeting materials.
Options:
1. Approve Agreement with Kathryn Herman for the Learn to Skate program.
2. Amend and then approve the Agreement with Kathryn Herman for the skating program.
3. Do not offer the skating program.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
