Reports <br /> <br /> <br />7.1 Ice/Room/Turf Rates <br /> <br />Mr. Dalton presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha added the Minnesota Ice Arena Manager’s Association (MIAMA) rates are only a <br />snapshot and don’t indicate whether a facility is subsidized by the general fund. <br /> <br />7.2 Initial Budget Draft, Goals & Performance Measures <br /> <br />Mr. Dalton presented the staff report and noted the FT Center has maximized prime season ice <br />rentability but added there are opportunities for increased revenue in the shoulder seasons and in <br />summer. <br /> <br />He added the Food and Beverage Lead position being proposed could be a combined position that <br />services the FT Center in the winter/spring and the Parks and Recreation Department in the summer. <br />and the Maintenance Worker position would combine two current part – time positions. <br /> <br />Mr. Dalton concluded the budget is currently “in the red” and added utility costs have increased due <br />to the facility being charged at its highest demand day rate year round. He is currently working with <br />utilities to see if this can be adjusted. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner inquired if the expenses presented for the concession stand include credit <br />card fees, which Mr. Dalton confirmed. <br /> <br />7.3 Capital Improvement Projects <br /> <br />Mr. Dalton presented the staff report and noted a more refined list will be available at the August <br />meeting. <br /> <br />8.1 Two Brothers Contract <br /> <br />Two Brothers Owner Ben Jaremko presents a history of the company and its facility usage. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
