Arena Commission Minutes Page 2 <br /> August 18,2015 <br /> 6. Financial Update • <br /> Arena Manager Rich Czech hands out an updated financials spreadsheet,which <br /> includes year to date information. Czech is confident that the arena will meet it's <br /> projected budget, as we have not taken in revenue from the fall learn to skate session <br /> yet or the admissions to the high school games that will take place in 2015. <br /> The Olympic rink needed repairs early this summer,which will be discussed in <br /> further detail later in the meeting, but is noted in the expenditures. <br /> Commissioner Ballenger inquires if the arena financials are at a typical place for the <br /> time of the year. <br /> Arena manager Czech says due to the repairs,we are not at our typical place for the <br /> year. <br /> Commissioner Westgaard notes the repairs to the Olympic cost close to $82,000. <br /> Ballenger asks about reimbursement from insurance. <br /> Arena Manager Czech notes that it was discussed with The City's adjuster and <br /> Financial Director Tim Simon, however it was determined that the issue would fall <br /> under normal wear and tear, and it would be better to handle it without insurance in <br /> case a larger issue were to arise. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Westgaard and seconded by Commissioner <br /> Cunningham to approve the financials as presented. <br /> Motion carried 6-0. <br /> 7.1 Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br /> Arena Manager Rich Czech notes that Parks and Recreation Director Michael <br /> Hecker will be proceeding with the RFP which will include the arena, senior center <br /> and Lions Park Center. The location of the new facility will be a large part of the <br /> discussion. <br /> Commissioner Westgaard adds the parks master plan didn't include facilities- and <br /> that the RFP may need to include Pinewood Golf Course. He notes repairs have <br /> been put off too long for the facilities as it is. He inquires about what would happen <br /> to the current arena building should a new facility be built. <br /> Parks and Recreation Director Michael Hecker notes it doesn't make sense to make <br /> repairs to buildings that may not be in use in the near future. He adds a multipurpose <br /> facility was noted in the master plan, however no location was specified, and that <br /> Hales Field is a possible option. • <br /> P O N f 1 8 1 1 BY <br /> NATURE <br />
