7. Alumni Game <br />Arena Manager Rich Czech states that he would like to try to put together an <br />alumni event for this summer, and if it is successful, try to repeat the effort <br />every 5 years. Vice Chair Ron Johnson suggests that this could be a good fund <br />raising effort for Youth Hockey. <br />Staff Updates <br />Arena Manager Rich Czech notes that the possibility of a gun and knife show <br />as a dry floor event is still in question. The event organizer is not sure that he <br />wants to pursue an event in Elk River as he has two successful shows in <br />Anoka. <br />Commissioner John Barth also notes that the arena would also have to work <br />with the city to bring weapons across school property. <br />Chair Dale Martin questions why security cameras needed to be installed. <br />Arena Manager, Rich Czech states that it is helpful to monitor when damage <br />is being done to the rink. Currently six cameras are in place, however, Czech <br />wishes to add one to the hallway in the Olympic and one in the front entry. <br />Czech also notes that it has been helpful in noting that some coaches are not <br />enforcing the helmet policy in the shooting area. Commissioner Malzahn <br />suggests making an announcement over the loud speakers in the barn when <br />helmets are not being used. <br />Vice Chair Johnson inquires about the program that was implemented <br />allowing frequent customers to the arena having the option of selling <br />advertising for fundraising. Arena Manager Rich Czech noted that tri-fold <br />brochures were created, printed and distributed to Youth Hockey and to the <br />Skating Academy, however, no advertising has been sold at this point to our <br />knowledge. <br />
