C. Low E -Ceiling A Low E Ceiling is basically an insulation system that covers the ceiling of the rink area. The Low E -Ceiling is designed to help reduce heat load to the ice sheet which will result in the compressors running less. There are several options and opinions out there from a number of manufactures. I talked with one representative from an low e -supplier, he gave me a rough quote of $40,000.00 for the Olympic, and $35,000.00 for the Barn. Since there are so many options, we are going to explore them and present them to the Commission at the next meeting. D. Energy Management System An energy management system would be a nice addition to the Arena. However the money that would be needed for such a system would be better spent on replacing some outdated equipment with energy efficient equipment. Some of these items include soft start motors for the compressors or adding capacitors to the existing compressors, and replacing Barn's condenser. After some of these items are completed, it would then make sense to move forward with an energy management system to control the buildings utilities. 9. Walking Track We have approached the Lions Club for a donation for a synthetic matting system for the walking track. The matting system would have a bottom padding that would help ease the stress on walkers joints when they are walking on the track. The synthetic matting is very durable and is easily maintained. The cost of this system is about $35,000.00. We are hoping that the Lions Club will respond considerately to our request. 10. Remodeling of front entryway and Lobby Over the years it has been apparent that the lobby at the arena is insufficient. When approaching the local youth hockey district about planning a big tournament at the rink, the first question or concern that is brought up is the size of the Lobby. During Varsity games it is extremely crowed and is almost impossible to navigate through the lobby to get to the bathrooms. People in line for the concession stand are constantly moving to allow people to cut in front or behind them in order to allow them to pass by. We are in need of a meeting room as well as an office area for staff and a storage area for janitorial supplies and equipment. The Skating Academy can not hold competitions due to the fact that their association requires a place for the judges as well as an area for a hospitality room. The list could go on, the bottom line is that we have out grown our lobby space a long time a go and need to move forward on a larger up to date space that will move us into the future. Bill and I have talked several times about the Arena's needs and would like to move forward with hiring an architect to get a rough draft of the design and the costs associated with the project.
