2006 when we can raise the rate $10.00 to $15.00 and still be competitive with other Arenas. My recommendation is that we keep our summer rate at $120.00 an hour for the summer of 2005 and revisit it next spring for the summer of 2006. 9) Shooting Area The shooting area should be ready for use by the beginning of the regular season (Mid September). I have contacted other rinks that have shooting areas to find out what policies they have set up. The following are policies I would like to implement, along with any others that may be suggested. 1) Adult must be present. 2) Unauthorized use of the area is forbidden. 3) Any misuse of the area is subjected to the lost of privileges of the area. In contacting other rinks, it seems that the number one problem they have had is vandalism. Most of these Arena's did not have a checkout procedure in place; players came and went as they pleased. I would like to schedule the area like we do the ice, either by associations or by teams. Individuals may use the area as long as a parent accompanies them. I would recommend a nominal fee be charge to use the area. The Arena has spent a lot of time and money putting this area together. I would at least like to see something be charged to recover some of the expenses it took to build the area, as well as the money it will take to maintain the area. Some Arenas had money donated by the users of the area, while others have set up an agreement with the users of the area. The amount that is charged should reflect the length of the agreement between the Arena and the users and should include a damage clause for vandalism caused by any group that uses the area. 10) Pictures of Hockey Players in Arena There has been some discussion of hanging pictures of Hockey players that have gone on to play after their High School career. Five areas of discussion are, what size should the pictures be, what type of frame, where will they be placed, what level of play should be considered, and who will pay for them. The sizes of the team pictures in the lobby are 10" x 14". They are big enough to catch the eye yet the size is not too large. The frames that are used now are made from oak and are stained in Golden Oak. Single frames rather than multiple picture frames may work better because it would be easier to manage the pictures, and there wouldn't be any blank frames. The pictures could be hung along the south end of the Olympic rink. There is a lot of traffic in this area, so the pictures would get noticed.
