ELK RIVER ARENA <br /> 1000 SCHOOL STREET <br /> P.O. BOX 193 <br /> ELK RIVER, MN 55330 <br /> (612) 441 - 2956 <br /> FAX * (612) 241 - 9432 <br /> To: Arena Commission <br /> From: Rich Czech <br /> Date: November 4, 1998 <br /> Subject: Arena Update <br /> Hiring staff this season started slow but we have managed to hire five Arena I Workers <br /> (Zamboni Drivers), five Arena II Workers (Skate Sharpening, Front Area), and three <br /> Cashiers. <br /> • The dehumidifier and heater unit is here. The unit is scheduled to be in operation by <br /> November 16, 1998. On a relating note, the two other dehumidifiers have been sold and <br /> should be removed by Thanksgiving. <br /> I have sold three advertising signs on the rink boards and two on the Zamboni. I have six <br /> companies that I am 90% sure will be placing a signs in the Arena. There are another four <br /> companies that are considering the signs. <br /> From January 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997 the Arena had sold about 2490.5 hours, <br /> which generated about $195,801.00 in revenue. The same time frame this season, the <br /> Arena sold about 2,874.5 hours generating roughly $243,089.00. I contribute the added <br /> hours and revenue to an aggressive off season programs and the growth of the Skating <br /> Academy. With the loss of St. Michael Youth Hockey and High School I have noticed the <br /> non - prime time ice is not selling as in the past especially the Sunday Mornings. <br /> The School District will be remodeling and repaving the High School parking lot this <br /> summer. The old varsity field will be removed for additional parking. Plans for the <br /> parking lot should be available for review by the end of the year. <br /> It is yet unclear how this project will effect the traffic flow to and from the Arena. <br /> If you have any other questions, please feel free to give me a call. <br /> • <br />
