Arena Commission Minutes Page 2 <br /> April 19,2016 <br /> • 7. Financial Update <br /> Arena Manager Rich Czech delivers report as Finance Director Tim Simon has <br /> accepted a position in St. Louis Park and will be leaving in May. <br /> Czech notes that 2015 Ice Rentals were above budget due in part to an increase in <br /> cost,but also because more ice has been sold—mainly to different groups coming in <br /> during off peak. Recreational program revenue and admissions have decreased, <br /> which Czech attributes to fewer games overall (10 as opposed to 12) and more <br /> games being scheduled during the week. He also notes that sign rental revenue is up, <br /> however Randy's sanitation will not be advertising on the Zamboni moving forward. <br /> Dry floor events have reached their max revenue. <br /> With regards to the expenditures,Rich notes we came in under budget for Personal <br /> Service due to the lead arena worker position being vacant for a portion of the year. <br /> Operating expenditures were over budget due to the repairs that were done on the <br /> Olympic Rink flooring, he also noted the new Zamboni was approved in 2015 but <br /> delivered in 2016. <br /> Overall the arena was $270,000 in the black. Many of the Capital Outlay projects <br /> haven't been completed in anticipation of a possible multipurpose facility. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Ballenger and seconded by Commissioner Madsen <br /> to approve the Arena Financials. Motion carries 6-0. <br /> 8. General Business <br /> 8.1 Multipurpose Community Center Progress Update <br /> Arena Manager Rich Czech reviews the options.The A/B options reflect <br /> improving/expanding the facilities that we already have and the 1 / 2 options are for <br /> new facilities. <br /> Should the city expand the spaces that they currently have,it has been discussed to <br /> add a multipurpose space to the Activity Center, redo the bathrooms,add a new <br /> meeting space and mechanicals,however some neighboring homes would need to be <br /> purchased by the city and there is no cost estimate for that at this time. <br /> With regards to the Lions Park location, Option A would take what we currently <br /> have,add more parking by removing the current amphitheater, add more space in <br /> the front and add on to the current gym. This would give the current gym/meeting <br /> space the capability of accommodating 200 people,and it also adds a commercial <br /> kitchen. <br /> Option B would add more parking,include a 400 person banquet facility,a larger <br /> lobby, a commercial kitchen and expand the bathrooms. <br /> • <br /> rorEAEo ® r <br /> NATURE <br />
