Ice Arena Project Continued Page 3 e 3.3C Review Schedule and Tare:et Dates Everyone acknowledges that the goal of having an ice arena open next October is very ambitious. It is good to have an ambitious target date but I don't want anyone to have a misconception that we will be open next October at all costs. The project will not suffer do to a opening target date, as the quality of the project will take precedent over the opening date timetable. What is especially of concern is the amount of work that needs to be done over the Christmas holidays and in the next few months. Not only do all of the architectural and building design decisions need to be done, but other issues also have to be addressed within this timetable. These issues include: . The City Council needs to approve the budget and commit funds to this project. . The City needs to obtain ownership of the land and existing hockey arena. . The City will need to make a commitment to manage the facility and to take on the Ice Arena employee as a City employee... An Ice Arena management committee may need to be created. e . The City Council needs to authorize the bonds for this project... It takes approximately two months from authorization by the City Council to actually having monies available for the project. . The City needs to go through the Conditional Use Permit and Administrative Subdivision process for this project which require public hearings and City Council approvals. Please see the attached preliminary project schedule dated November 2, 1994. There is a great deal of work to do before the City authorizes going out for bids on February 6, 1995, and before these bids are awarded on March 6, 1995. e 11-22agMlcouncil
