There remain two separate elements to the project that are of focus, the Ice Arena and the <br /> replacement location for the softball field. We continue to explore options for the softball field <br /> replacement which will come forward for Council discussion at a future meeting. <br /> The Ice Arena Committee will be presenting two schematic design options for consideration. The first <br /> option is a refined layout of the facility as discussed previously (a single new ice sheet with support <br /> spaces, a renovated NHL sized sheet in the Olympic building, and space reserved for a future 3rd sheet <br /> addition). The committee has been referring to this at the "Original" option. <br /> After discussions with the school district, consideration of schedules and effects on user groups and fresh <br /> eyes from our construction management team, a"Revised" option has been developed to better <br /> accommodate some of the challenges that were identified with the "Original" option. <br /> The team will present the two options, their schedules and the estimated project costs of each. We will <br /> be looking for direction from the Council on which option should be moved into final design. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Overall estimates for each option will be provided in the presentation. Both options keep the total <br /> project costs in the $20.0 and $25.0 million range as previously communicated. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ None <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1 <br />
