MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Ice Arena Commission, Members <br />FROM: Rich Czech, Arena Manager <br />DATE: July 20, 2011 <br />SUBJECT: Agenda Memo -June 27, 201 I <br />5. 2010 Financial update <br />Attached for your review is the budget information for the yeazs 2008 - 2010 as well as <br />current information for the 2011 budget.

Varsity passes <br />We have recently received a request by the Girl's Booster Club to establish passes for the <br />Girls regular season home games at a reduced cost of $2.00 per ticket for adults and <br />$1.50 per student /senior. <br />In the mid 90's the Arena sold passes to the boy's Blue Line Club for the high school <br />games due to the fact that there were large crowds for their games and limited seating <br />because the games were in the Barn. The passes were sold at face value based on the <br />number of home games per year multiplied by the adult ticket price. This guaranteed <br />admission to the game that may have been sold out prior to the pass holders arrival. The <br />Blue Line sold them, with a slight increase in cost to the public as part of their package of <br />
