Call Meeting to Order <br />Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the meeting of the Ice Arena Commission <br />was called to order at 5:35 p.m. by Chair Givens. <br />2. Pledge of Allegiance <br />Recited by Commission Members and Staff <br />3. General Business <br />3.1 Review Ballard/Kings Operations Study <br />Arena Manager Rich Czech begins by reviewing the personnel costs. <br />Commissioner Westgaard asks Parks and Recreation Director Michael Hecker how <br />he feels abort the figures given — especially since the community center is listed as <br />having the same about of full — time staff as a multi-purpose facility. <br />City Administrator Cal Portner replies everything is dependent on how much would <br />be included in a new facility. He adds current full time staff will not have to spend as <br />much time handling maintenance issues in a new building. <br />Portner also believes the figures for utilities for the community center are incorrect. <br />Commissioner Westgaard agrees a new building will be more efficient. <br />Arena Manager Rich Czech replies the current system is actually very efficient, <br />however R22 is being phased out. <br />Commissioner Westgaard inquires if the report can be sent back to address concerns <br />before it is published? <br />
