like the Arena Commission to discuss this opportunity and put it to a vote so that the City Council knows where the Arena Commission stands on this opportunity. 7. Skate Club representative to Arena Commission The Elk River Skating Club selected Brad Hansen as their Arena Commission Representative. With approval from the City Council, Brad will be at the next Arena Commission meeting. 8. High School Coaches wall of fame At the last Commission meeting, Commissioner John Barth suggested that we have a Coaches Wall of Fame for all the High School Coaches that have coached over the years. John contacted Dave Halgren, a past Arena Commissioner, and self historian when it comes to Elk River High School sports. Dave was able to provide the names of the coaches that have coached Elk River High School Hockey along with the number of years, the era they coached in, and their win and lose records. I contacted Kent Madsen, a past Arena Commissioner and Elk River Youth Coach to see if he would like to take the lead on putting something together to acknowledge these coaches. Kent accepted this challenge and is planning on having something together by next spring. 9. Video Presentation System To enhance the Arena's advertising program and High School games as well as other programs offered at the Arena, I would like to purchase a Video Projector System that would allow us to advertise businesses during High School Hockey Games and Tournaments. The System would also allow us to show starting line ups during high school and tournament games as well as promote city events like, Recreation Programs, Library events, Senior Center events, Skating programs, National Night Out, Open The Fire Department and Police Open Houses, as well other government notices. The projector could also be used during other events such as Open Skating, to broadcast sporting events and to show movies. The Skate Show, to promote the Skating Academy. Attached for your review is the information regarding the installation and the equipment. Advertising would be shown between the periods of the girls and boys junior and varsity games as well as during tournaments. Attached for your review are the estimated pricing for the advertising. The revenue generated from advertising should be able to pay for the system within one to two years. I have discussed the finance regarding purchasing the system with Tim Simon, the Cities Finance Director. He suggested that the funds come from the Bleacher account. There is a balance of over $25,000.00 in the fund, and with the 2007 - 2008 season approaching an addition $6,000.00 to $7,000.00 is expected to be added to it. With the Arena Commissions approval, I would like to move forward with this project and bring it the City Council for approval.
