Mr. Dickinson noted that there is another member of the Park Commission to interview
for this board and suggested that his interview be scheduled prior to the next council
workshop. He also noted that Dan Terhaar has agreed to represent the Andover Youth
Hockey Association.
Frank Kellof!f! - stated that he has been an Andover resident for 11 years, has been
involved in the WDE ground water monitoring, involved with the people who tried to get
the high school located in Andover and has worked with the community center project
from its inception, was chair of the Community Center task force. He manages and is a
partner in the 20 million dollar fIrm where he is the marketing person. Felt that the
people on the board will have to work hard, be fIscally responsible and be held
accountable. They will need to put together programs that will make money. Mr.
Kellogg noted that he has a busy schedule but it is manageable and he knows how to
make sound decisions based on his time.
Dave Blackstad - stated that he has been involved with the community center from the
beginning. He would like to make sure that this is the jewel of our city. The role of the
board would be to set policies as to what types of activities we should attract to the
community center. He felt that the other sports associations need to get involved. Mr.
Blackstad stated that ultimately the board would need to satisfy the City Council and also
the residents so they know that it is a profIt center. Programs for seniors and teenagers
and trade shows would be ways to make money. If a second sheet of ice is required it
needs to be fund raised better. The board could bring some of the other sports
associations and users into the fundraising mix.
