6. Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant <br />Arena Manager Rich Czech notes that we will not receive word until <br />September if any of the projects that we submitted under the Federal Stimulus <br />Package will be approved. Czech also states that if we need to submit a grant <br />proposal, that we should consider hiring a professional. <br />Finance Director Tim Simon notes that the start process for the stimulus <br />package has been postponed until September 15t for cities with populations <br />under 35,000. <br />Commissioner Malzahn notes that we should research larger cities who have <br />already been approved for the stimulus money to see if their grant requests are <br />available for review as it should be public information. <br />(Commission moves on to #7 however, this issue is then revisited) <br />MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER GUMPHREY TO SEND <br />RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE COSTS <br />FOR A PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITER. SECONDED BY VICE <br />CHAIR JOHNSON. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br />7. Renovating the Barn's Roof <br />Arena Manager, Rich Czech states that work on the roof is approximately 1/3 <br />completed. He suggests that when it is completed, that he will inquire if the <br />fire department could soak the roof so that we could check for leaks. <br />At this point he notes that there have not been any underlying issues found, but <br />that he suspects if any are discovered, they will be on the interior of the Barn. <br />8. Lighting Replacement for Ol r~npic Rink <br />Arena Manager Rich Czech states that Voss Lighting will have an estimate by <br />the end of the week. He suspects they will recommend "Super 8" fluorescent <br />lighting (50-60 fixtures) as well as lighting around the perimeter for the <br />walking track. However, he notes that we will need to wait to see if we receive <br />federal funding before proceeding, though he is optimistic as the lights have a <br />2-3 year payback time. In addition, these lights can be turned on in "banks" so <br />that we only use the lights we need to save additional money. Finally he notes <br />that we can also receive a $45 fixture rebate. <br />
