B. Concessions When the Olympic rink was built part of the financial agreement with Elk River Youth Hockey was that they would lease the concession stand from the city. Even though there is not any written agreement, I believe this arrangement has been working out for both parties. Youth Hockey leases the area from the arena for $21,500 a year, an increase is not anticipated even though the rate has not been increased in several years. C. Summer Projects The matting in the players' hallway in the Barn will be replaced and three more sections of center grove will be installed in the Barn. The player's boxes in the Barn will be refurbished along with the scorer's table area. The Barn is in the third and final stage of receiving new light fixtures. In the Olympic rink we will be moving four sections of boards. The gate in the southwest corner will be switched with a northeast corner section. This gate is large enough to freely remove the nets from the ice and the area outside the rink has enough space to store the nets comfortably. Currently, nets are stored outside the Zamboni room where employees sometimes struggle to take them on and off. By having an area where the nets can be taken on and off freely we may avoid injury to arena staff. With the relocation of the gate, the players gate on the north end will be switched with a south end section, which will provide an area where skaters can enter and exit the rink from that part of the rink. We are planning on taking out the ice in the Olympic rink on Sunday, May 19, 2002, after the Skating Academy Ice Show. During this time we will be working on the ice plant's condenser and installing the city's new logo in the center of the ice when the ice is put back in June. The roof to the old Zamboni room and the ice plant room are in need of replacement. This year the roof to the Zamboni room will be replaced and next year the ice plant room will receive a new roof. Each roof is estimated to cost about $5,000. Other summer projects consist of painting, cleaning, refurbishing an exit in the Barn, and rebuilding some of the arena's equipment. D. Dryfloor Usage The arena will hold its usual events: fourth through sixth grade dances in April, May, and September, the Chamber's Business Expo in April,Jose Cole's Circus in May and a craft fair in May and September. We may be hosting a Christian concert on June 14,2002. The arena will be having a roller blade league over the summer and Community Education will be holding its dog-training classes Monday evenings throughout the summer.
