Arena Manager Czech notes that even with use as a field house, the barn <br />would still need a new roof. <br />Architect Betti notes that if you were only making the roof weather tight, the <br />cost would decrease, and that with the East expansion plan, there would be a <br />loss of parking. <br />Commissioner Malzahn states that the Youth Hockey Association supports a <br />renovation, however they need to make sure they still would have enough <br />office and storage space, regardless of the plan. <br />Commissioner Gumphrey suggests if we are going to consider keeping the <br />barn as a field house we should attempt to sell it to the School District. <br />Chair Martin states that having the locker rooms on the outside of the arena is <br />good for coach team access, however for practice, players would have to walk <br />through the lobby. <br />Architect notes that a walkway can be implemented to avoid the need for the <br />players to go through the lobby and that outside locker rooms, can be done in <br />phases, or could be identified as "school district cost".

He notes that there is always the option of <br />not changing to an ammonia system, which is equally as efficient until it is <br />necessary. Our current cooling system uses R22, which is being <br />phased out. <br />Architect Betti notes that even if we do opt out of changing the ice plant, we <br />Should still have the renovation include being ready for the update to <br />ammonia. He also notes that if the system is changed only in the Olympic, we <br />could harvest the R22 from the Olympic to store for use in the barn. <br />Arena Manager Czech notes that if we were only to replace the ice plant on <br />
