Ice Arena project <br />· Review construction project figures...Attached for your review <br /> is the ice arena construction figures which are subject to only <br /> very minor changes. It should be noted that the sewer and <br /> water utilities, which came in higher than expected, were <br /> always outside of the project budget and considered a <br /> donation from the city and the Utilities. Excluaing this <br /> expenditure, the project came in very close to the original <br /> $2.65 million budget. The total was about 2 percent over <br /> budget. Unfortunately most of this overrun, or approxi~nately <br /> $39,000 of the overrun, is a city obhgation. The Council has <br /> previously indicated that this overrun would come out of the <br /> equipment reserves and the capital projects reserve. <br />· Review funding options for the heating, dehumictification, <br /> and ventilation project...This expense is estimated to <br /> approach $150,000, but could be less. This cost really should <br /> have been part of the original construction project but was <br /> deleted in the hope that an alternative system would meet <br /> our needs. This expenditure can not be absorbed within the <br /> ice arena operating budget and an alternative source of <br /> <br />CIP Worksession <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />funding must be identified for this expenditure. Additionally <br />it seems that this expenditure is needed for the adequate <br />functioning of the arena. It is recommended that 50 percent <br />of the net proceeds from the selling of the Holt and Jackson <br />commercial site be apphed to this expenditure. It is <br />estimated that 50 percent of the net proceeds will be in the <br />$120,000-$130,000 range. It has been previously stated that <br />staff would recommend that the other 50 percent of the net <br />proceeds be dedicated toward economic development <br />activities. <br /> <br />i <br /> <br /> <br />
