Item 5.7. <br />or <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br />DATE: February 23, 2004 <br />SUBJECT: Ice Arena <br />Ice Axena Manager Rich Czech and I have had a number of discussions over the years, and <br />in the last few weeks ox so, reguding a couple of capital nnprovements that are needed at <br />the Ice Arena. The memo from Rich reviews the need fox the condenser and the <br />backpressure regulator and includes quotes for these two hmprovements. <br />The unproaements to the Barn floor are estimated to cost about X430,000. The cost for this <br />improvement is to be split 50-50 between the Liquor Store Reserve and the NSP Reserve. It <br />is proposed that these two reserve funds also finance the condenser and backpressure <br />regulator. This will mean an additional $13,500 from each fund. This will bring the total <br />expenditure to be about $230,000 out of each reserve fund. <br />Both of the requested improvements are needed; both of the requested improvements have <br />been delayed due to lack of available funds within the Ice Axena budget; both of these <br />unprovements are tunely to complete now while the Baxn floor is under construction; and <br />both unprovements are financially reasonable considering that the firm which is completing <br />the Barn floor itprovements is also the fain which submitted the low quotes for the <br />condenser and backpressure regulator work. <br />Also attached with this memo is an update from Rich regarding acti~dties that are going on at <br />the Arena and a tunetable for the Barn floor reconstruction. It should be noted that the ice <br />will be out of the Olympic Rink from Map 17, 2004 through)une 4, 2004. This coincides <br />with the schedule for the condenser project, which is planned to begin on May 17, 2004. <br />Recommendation <br />It is xecoxmnended that the Ciry Council award the condenser and backpressure regulator <br />quotes to Commercial Refrigeration in the amount of $24,660 for the condenses and $2,213 <br />for the backpressure regulator with funding to come equally from the NSP Reserve and the <br />Liquor Store reserve. <br />SV('ouncilU'a[AUpdatesVAiena Aoc <br />
