These costs are typically part of <br /> the levied Trunk Area Assessments which would be levied to all properties in the service area. The <br /> feasibility study is a required document to comply with Chapter 429 of State Statute. <br /> The Ice Arena Fund has a fund balance of$700,000 available for capital improvements/repairs. Due to a <br /> potential leak in the Olympic Rink refrigerant piping and a growing restriction in The Barn Rink piping, <br /> repairs will need to be considered to maintain operations. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ N/A <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 />
