In response to a transmittal to City Council from the LMCG Board, City Council adopted Item CC35.6, directing the City Manager to review options to improve organizational effectiveness and sustainability at LMCG Arena to ensure that the local community remains well served and that the arena operations and service delivery are supported. City staff met with the LMCG Board to discuss their concerns regarding the obligation to utilize City employees in the operation of the arena as required by the Relationship Framework. While the LMCG arena derives certain benefits by using City employees, such as being able to rely on the City to manage recruitment, payroll, training and labour relations functions, the LMCG Board expressed a desire to explore alternatives that would allow them more control over their organizational design and operation. In order for the LMCG Board to explore these alternatives, certain amendments to the Relationship Framework in respect of LMCG arena operations is required. The purpose of this report is to seek City Council approval of those amendments.
