^ National Hockey League (NHL) Affiliated Minor League Hockey ^ NHL The Commission felt that these requirements promoted college as well as showed accomplishment. It was questioned if there should be limitations to the number of pictures one player has displayed. It was discussed that due to the cost of the pictures and the fact that there is ample display space that no limitations would be set on the number of pictures at this time. 8. Cost Effective Energy Efficient Improvements for Minnesota Arena's, prepared by the Center of Energy and Environment /Energy Saving Measures. Last spring the Arena Commission directed me to look into ways we could save energy costs. An energy audit was performed by Vance Zehringer from the Elk River Utilities (see attached document) which was discussed at another Arena Commission meeting. Since then I have been researching energy saving measures that we can implement at the Arena. During my research, I came across a study that was performed by the Center for Energy and Environment, outlining 20 items that could save Arena's energy costs. Attached for your review is the report from the Center for Energy Environment outlining these measures. Besides some of the improvement we have already made in the report, the most cost effective measure that the Arena has not moved forward with is to replace the lighting system over the rinks and to change out dated light fixtures in the Barn. After checking with many lighting suppliers and installers I have selected two options for the Arena Commission to review. These options are from Nelson and Rudie, and Winn Electric. Neither price includes installation, which is separate below the two quotes. Nelson and Rudie s proposal is $50,000.00 - $60,000.00; Vance has indicated that we could expect at least a rebate of $45.00 per fixture, which would reduce the total cost of the project by $4,770.00. This includes 106 4 - foot T - Ss fixtures and installation of the lighting system and fixtures. Winn Electrics proposal includes 55 fixtures that have 8 T - 5 lamps that are four feet in length. The cost per fixture is $270.00 a fixture for a total cost of $17,820.00. Vance indicated that the same rebate would apply, resulting in the total cost of the fixtures being reduced to $14,850.00. The number of fixtures are typical from what I have seen it other arenas, Rogers has 561ight fixtures, and the Super rink has 48 light fixtures over their rinks that have florescent fixtures. The differences, besides the cost, of the two proposals are that Nelson Rudies proposal fixtures are 6 lamp fixtures and include installation, while Winn Electrics proposal includes 8 lamp fixtures and does not include installation. I have been working with the Arena's Electrician, Nate Bunker from Trade winds Electric, to develop an energy management system if we were to install Winn
