Elk REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />River <br />To Item Number <br />Ma or and Ci Council 3 - 2 - <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Consent A st 11, 2008 Rich Czech, Ice Arena Mana er <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Request to Purchase Recycled Plastic Furniture for the Arena Tim Simon, Finance Director <br />out of Landfill Abatement Funds Reviewed by <br /> Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation <br /> Director <br />Action Requested <br />Authorization to purchase recycled plastic furniture out of Landfill Abatement funds. <br />Background/Discussion <br />Over the years we have had video machines in a small area of the Arena which generated modest revenue <br />for the Arena. Over the years the amount of revenue has greatly diminished due to the fact that many <br />children have their own video systems at home. With some minor remodeling, this area is being <br />converted to a small open area where customers can gather and not be in the way of the traffic of people <br />getting in and out of the Arena. The tables and chairs will give customers the opportunity to sit down and <br />enjoy their favorite beverage and snack from the concession stand. <br />Financial Impact <br />The company we would be purchasing the tables and chairs from is having a State Fair sale the middle of <br />August. The sale is for 10% off the regular price, plus free shipping. This would reduce our cost by over <br />$800 bringing the cost of four tables and twelve chairs to $4,913.69. Shipping would take place three to <br />five weeks after the order is placed. <br />The furniture is made from recycled plastic and is eligible for funding from the landfill abatement funds. <br />Attachments <br />^ Pictures of recycled plastic tables and chairs <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />S:\Council\Ice azena chaus.doc <br />
