Ice Arena Commission Meeting Page 2 <br /> March 4, 1997 <br /> 5. Review 1997 Ice Arena Budget <br /> The City Administrator reviewed the 1997 operating budget as adopted by the <br /> City Council. It was noted that this budget is identical to the one used when the <br /> ice arena bonds were sold in the spring of 1996. <br /> The need to exceed the budgeted amount for part time help in the personal <br /> services category was discussed along with the concern over concession <br /> revenues, sign revenues, and capital outlay items that are not in the budget. The <br /> need for additional dry floor events in order to generate revenues beyond what is <br /> in the budget was discussed. Commissioner Kupka indicated that he is organizing <br /> an in-line skating league and noted that this may generate some revenue under <br /> the dry floor events category. <br /> 6.
