Arena Commission Minutes Page g 5 <br /> April 21,2015 <br /> The system would have allowed coaches to have access to all of the cameras for a fee <br /> and parents could purchase the footage as well,but it would only be from the main <br /> camera vantage. <br /> Czech notes the Super Rink is working with a different video company—and that <br /> the issue at the Elk River Arena may be revisited with the Cable Commission. <br /> Commissioner Ballenger notes many tournaments are streamed live on the internet <br /> under a pay per view system. He inquires if the MN Sports Network documents the <br /> games. <br /> Commissioner Cunningham confirms,however you need to give them the rights to <br /> the footage. <br /> 9. Arena Manager's Update <br /> Arena Manager Czech notes the Mighty Ducks (for the conversion of rinks using <br /> R-22) grant has the support of the MN State Senate, however the House and the <br /> Governor are not on board. If it passes,we would apply for one which would award <br /> $50,000 to update plants that run on R22 or$200,000 to replace the plants (typically <br /> with ammonia systems). The Governor believes the issue can be tabled until 2020; <br /> however the changeovers are supposed to be completed by then. <br /> A new ice plant would cost an estimated$2 million,however for us that would mean <br /> updating to one plant instead of the two that we currently have which would <br /> decrease our utility costs. <br /> The "look out line"issue has been tabled with USA Hockey, but Czech suspects it <br /> will not go away and will be revisited in a few years. <br /> Upcoming Arena events include removal of the ice in the barn the week of April 20, <br /> the AC Expos Gun Show April 25—26,the 25th Annual Spring Craft Show <br /> May 2—3 and the 18th Annual Ice Show May 15 — 16. <br /> Commissioner Cunningham notes the football season begins very early this year, <br /> with the first game on August 24. The season has moved up so it can conclude for <br /> playoffs at TCF Stadium. <br /> Commissioner Ballenger adds the early football season makes it even more <br /> important to get Elk River Youth Hockey's hours finalized as many of the Bantam <br /> aged players also play football. <br /> Chair Givens inquires if the Arena Commission will need a special meeting with <br /> regards to a new facility after the Parks and Recreation Master Plan has been <br /> approved and sent to the City Council. <br /> 410 Arena Manager Czech replies he doesn't believe so. <br /> [POWERED 11' <br /> MATURE <br />
