 Bemidji City officials tonight announced support for a proposed Sanford Wellness Center and Aquatic Center. But city leaders have some concerns about the proposed Sanford Sports Complex. At tonight's City Council Work Session, city leaders expressed a concern about the impact the two proposed two-sheet ice arena as part of the facility. The city is seeking to add a second sheet of ice at the Sanford Center, the event center where the BSU plays its hockey games and would like that to be a priority. Our big key partner is BSU and we want to they're our anchor tent and we want to make sure that we complete what we started with this facility to begin with. I'm 100% for the entire project except that they want to use hospitality dollars for that ice and that's where I have pause because I know that number three at Stewards of the community's investment as partners with Bemidji State University Men's and Women's Hockey. A second sheet of ice will complete the original plan and it's a priority for the city. So that's why we want to have that as part of the discussion. I just feel as though there's something being asked of us and we need to be very honest and open and say but you know here's what our priority is and so maybe there's a way for everybody to get what they want. You know if we can all get to yes that'd be awesome. The new wellness center and aquatic center is expected to cost around 27 million dollars with 10 million coming from Sanford Health, 10 million in private donations and 7 million in debt services.
