Ice Arena Commission Agenda Memo <br /> Page 2 <br /> 4110 was viewed as Phase I of an overall proposal and also was viewed as <br /> "four walls and a sheet of ice." What we have is much more than four <br /> walls and a sheet of ice, but no one should be under the impression <br /> that we had a big budget for this project and everyone should <br /> understand that the overall project is not finished but is still evolving <br /> toward completion. <br /> 6. Usage Schedule for Ice Rinks <br /> At the last Ice Arena Commission meeting on March 4, 1997, Ice Arena <br /> Manager Rich Czech distributed the current schedule for 1997-98 <br /> usage of the two ice rinks. If an updated schedule is not included with <br /> this packet, one will be distributed by Rich at the meeting.

At this Commission meeting we should follow up on the <br /> discussion that took place on March 4th regarding developing a <br /> strategy and/or committee to sell dasherboard signs. Attached is some <br /> material from Rich on this sign program. <br /> 7.2. Outside Signage and Arena Name <br /> This item came up at the last Commission meeting and we should <br /> follow up on that discussion regarding an official name for the new <br /> complex and what type of signage is appropriate. <br /> 7.3. Insurance <br /> Commissioner Jeff Asfahl requested some clarification on the city's <br /> policies and procedures regarding the ice arena. Specifically Jeff asked <br /> • about insurance for groups that use the arena. It should be noted that <br />
