scheduling program that is used and has been very beneficial in keeping track of <br />inventory as well as day to day operations of the concession stand. Two new safes were <br />also added, one so that the money from each shift could be dropped and not accessed by <br />any of the part time staff, and another where the start up money is stored when the <br />concession stand is not opened. <br />For the first year of operations the concession stand went very well. The hardest part was <br />starting with a fresh crew. Once everyone got acclimated to the equipment and the <br />routine things went smooth. Not a whole lot of items were added or changed; we reduced <br />the amount of different kinds of $.75 candy offered, however we added $1.50 candy <br />where there is a better profit margin. We went from fountain pop to 20oz bottles of pop <br />and Gatorade. A few new items were tried throughout the year; however for profit <br />margins and sales a good hotdog or slice of pizza can't be beat. <br />9. Damage to Olympic roof <br />Last September during one of the major storms the roof to the Olympic rink was <br />seriously damaged by hail. The damage to the roof also caused some major water <br />damage to the walls of the Arena as well. Working with the insurance adjuster, Bill <br />Maertz, and Lori Johnson we were able to get a new roof put on before winter set in. The <br />roof included not only a new membrane, but a new vapor barrier and insulation. New <br />metal flashings were installed as well as scuppers and down spouts. As noted above the <br />interior walls of the Olympic rink sustained some water damage. This spring the walls <br />will be cleaned and re-painted. <br />10. Arena Office Assistant <br />An Arena Office Assistance is to be hired by mid April. This is a part time position, <br />working 20 hours per week. The Office Assistant will help with customer service as well <br />as clerical support and general accounting. This position will also assist in <br />administrating the Break Away League as well as Skating lessons. <br />11. Arena Banners <br />Over the past few years there have been several banners hung in the Arena for the High <br />school boys and girls State Tournaments. These banners range from state champions to <br />participating in the state tournament. A few years back, the Elk River High Boys Hockey <br />Team was ranked number one in the nation by the United States Hockey Report <br />(U.S.H.R.). It is my understanding that there is a banner being made that the high school <br />team would like to hang in the Arena. I'm not sure if we want to hang banners from a <br />ranking where no actual game was played to determine an outcome. I believe we need to <br />develop a policy regarding banners in the Arena, not only for the high school level but <br />also for the youth hockey level as well as for the figure skating club. <br />12. N.H.L. Pro Game <br />There has been a request that the Arena donate ice time for an N.H.L. pro charity game. <br />The funds raised would benefit Elk River Youth Hockey.
