Arena Commission Minutes Page 3 <br />August 21, 2018 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard notes the only other thing that would be helpful would be <br />other revenue sources, i.e. naming rights, grants, etc. He adds recently an arena in the <br />Fargo/Moorhead area was funded completely through private donations and <br />sponsors. <br /> <br /> Arena Manager Czech adds a Mighty Ducks grant could be as much as $500,00 per <br />sheet. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard adds there is still money in a fund from Hockey Day in <br />MN which he believes was meant for a community space if/when the Arena gets a <br />renovation. <br /> <br /> Arena Manager Czech replies if “Plan A” passes the renovation would include <br />meeting rooms, and asks if the Hockey Day Committee would have to reconvene to <br />make decisions about the money. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard notes he is uncertain, as some of the members are no <br />longer around, but adds that there would be revenue from the leasing of the high <br />school locker rooms, a retail space if that happens, as well as the lease for a <br />concessions space for football. In addition, if the seniors move to the arena, that <br />would bring an additional $1.5 Million to the project that was originally slotted to <br />repair their current facility. <br /> <br />8. Arena Managers Update <br /> Arena Manager Czech notes the rink had a Midwest Mustangs tournament last <br />weekend, and will have another this coming weekend. <br /> <br /> The Craft show is September 15 – 16 and is nearly sold out. <br /> <br /> After the craft show, the ice will go back into the barn. <br /> <br /> Summer projects have included moving the levers, cleaning and painting. He adds <br />there won’t be as much painting this summer to save expenses due to the anticipated <br />renovation. <br /> <br /> We will be rebuilding the top end of the second compressor. <br /> <br /> The Fall Breakaway Hockey League has gone well. <br /> <br /> Five leaks were found in the Olympic rink this spring, two of which were pretty <br />major. Overall 1600#s of refrigerant was lost. <br /> <br /> Chair Givens inquires about the repairs to The Barn. <br /> <br /> Czech replies the black lines were due to a check valve that wasn’t closing all of the <br />way, causing oil buildup. The valve was repaired and the system blown out and it <br />seems to be working fine now.
