NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the 'Community Youth' user groups in the City's Board-operated arenas be requested to meet with the Boards of Management to create a joint submission to Economic Development, Culture and Tourism staff with respect to total ice time utilized by the group and the total cost differential of purchasing ice at the Board-operated arena as compared-City operated arena;
