Description/History
StarCenter Mansfield is a state-of-the-art 80,000 square-foot facility featuring two ice rinks and a large event space. StarCenter hosts hockey leagues and tournaments for all ages and skill levels, as well as figure skating lessons, adult recreational leagues, birthday parties and corporate events. Opened in August 2018, it is also the home rink for Mansfield High School's hockey team practices.
City Council and DSE Hockey Centers, L.P. entered into a Mansfield StarCenter Lease and Operating agreement on September 6, 2016 and executed an Amendment to the Mansfield StarCenter Lease and Operating Agreement on August 8, 2017.
In 2022, representatives from the Dallas Stars approached the city with a request to install and maintain electric vehicle charging stations within the parking area at the Mansfield StarCenter. The proposed project will be constructed in accordance with the specifications shown on the attached Exhibit “D”.
Advertising may be displayed on the stations; provided, however, that the advertising may not (i) include any alcoholic beverages or tobacco products or any company that produces or distributes alcoholic beverages or tobacco products, or (ii) promote any subject matter which the City finds reasonably objectionable, or would adversely affect the City of Mansfield identity or brand in the reasonable opinion of the City. DSE Hockey Centers shall be responsible for installing, maintaining, and removing the stations and for the costs thereof. DSE Hockey Centers shall maintain the stations in good condition, so they do not appear unreasonably aged, weathered or worn, normal wear and tear excepted. DSE Hockey Centers shall remove the stations upon the expiration or earlier termination of this lease and repair any damage caused by removal of the stations, so that the portions of the parking area on which the stations are located are returned to substantially the same condition as before the stations were installed, normal wear and tear excepted. DSE Hockey Centers will be responsible for all electricity costs attributable to the stations in accordance with Section 11.3 of this lease.
Justification
At the request of DSE Hockey Centers, L.P., the installation of electric vehicle charging stations will provide a service to the visitors of the Mansfield StarCenter and meet an increasing demand. Except as expressly provided in this Second Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Original Agreement are and will remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the Parties.
