Arena Commission Minutes Page 3 <br />August 15, 2017 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> Arena Manager Czech agrees, but notes we would need to go through the Decklan <br />Group to do so. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard adds, the advertising is business, if they are not bringing <br />customers in, then we may need to re-evaluate the arrangement. <br /> <br /> Arena Manager Czech notes the budget meeting was last night and nothing has <br />changed. It will be finalized in early December. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Ballenger states it is hard to know if the arena is on track, and asks if <br />The City can do monthly reports instead of annual? <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard notes that in the case of the Arena, a good portion of the <br />annual revenue comes in the months of September – December. He adds that Lori <br />Ziemer (finance director) should be able to put something together, and maybe Rich <br />could send something out quarterly, just to keep the Commission in the loop. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Ballenger inquires if the Commission would be able to do anything if <br />it is found the Arena is behind their projected budget? <br /> <br /> Arena Manager Czech notes this year we had a leak in our refrigeration system, and <br />we needed 750 pounds added at $25/lb. At one time, our system was state of the art, <br />but now it is old technology. We know that there is a slow leak in a pipe in the floor, <br />which is why there is a dark line on the north end of the Olympic. Should the system <br />fail, the city has insurance to cover their financial loss, however it would place a <br />burden on our customers. Czech adds we do have money in the budget for a new <br />refrigeration system and it has been in our capital improvement plans, but it has <br />always been put off as there was talk of a new building and/or renovation. <br /> <br /> Motion to approve the financial update as presented made by Commissioner <br />Ballenger and seconded by Commissioner Madsen. Motion passes 6-0. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 8. General Business <br /> <br /> 8.1 Multipurpose Community Center Progress Update <br /> <br />th <br />Arena Manager Czech states on August 7 the City Council voted to move forward <br />with RFPs. Tom Beatty from the 292 group put together a projected timeline for the <br />project which has been included in the packet. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Ballenger inquires if the arena will be out of commission completely <br />during the renovation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
