Arena Commission Minutes Page 3 <br /> April 16,2019 <br /> Arena Manager Czech explains the purple triangular area on the first floor plans to <br /> the lower left of the turf court is where the concessions stand will be during <br /> construction. <br /> Commissioner Westgaard notes it can also be used as concessions for the turf area <br /> permanently if we find it is needed. Originally the floors were slated to be skate <br /> carpet or matting, however if it is changed to polished concrete,it would save <br /> $250,000. <br /> Commissioner Cunningham inquires about access to bathrooms. <br /> Commissioner Westgaard replies bathrooms will be on both sides, the referees will <br /> have their own as well as the varsity/jv and the visiting varsity/jv teams. <br /> Commissioner Balabon asks how youth hockey coaches would get to the practice <br /> rink. <br /> Commissioner Westgaard notes it may make sense to flip the association office with <br /> the youth coach office to give easier access to both rinks. <br /> Arena Manager Czech makes a note to discuss options with 292 Group. <br /> Chair Givens asks about bathrooms during construction. <br /> Arena Manager Czech replies there will be some portables during the renovation but <br /> also some single bathrooms in the temporary locker room area. <br /> Commissioner Balabon asks about the cost to add a third sheet now, and explains <br /> the information had been confusing. <br /> Czech replies he thought the figure was $160,000 - $200,000 just to make the ice <br /> plant ready to accommodate 3 sheets, and he would have to go back to The 292 <br /> Group to find out what the rest of the costs were estimated to be. <br /> Commissioner Westgaard adds that if a 3`d sheet happens in the future,it would go <br /> back in the Olympic, but if that should happen we would need to find a new home <br /> for the turf area. <br /> Balabon requests before the third sheet discussion is closed, he would like to see the <br /> costs presented to Elk River Youth Hockey. <br /> Arena Manager Czech states the ice plants that we currently have are as efficient as <br /> we can get, but they are outdated. Demand cost would go up with two. <br /> Commissioner Westgaard notes The City will have to discuss with the school about <br /> what they would like for the varsity locker rooms,if they are just a shell or if they will <br /> rWERIII ev <br />
