with name correction amendments.All voted aye.
Finance Reports
Lannes reported the electric bill was $12,000. Member Vetsch asked what the gas bill was expected to
be. Lannes mentioned that since the last bill was a catch up on an under estimated usage we would
know more what the gas bill will be like next month. The board discussed the projected utilities again
based on the utility bills.
Members Sorensen/Wettschreck moved to approve the February list of claims totaling $25,847.91 and

Arena Manager’s Report
Nafstad reported that there was nothing out of the usual for the month and have called in about a
rd
handful of roof leaks. Nafstad mentioned that the Knight to Remember event is set for the 23 and
that the Ice is out in the old rink. In addition it was noted that they began running the refrigeration
lines to connect the old rink.
Old Business
Lannes informed the board that the electricity on the preliminary budget was reduced by $105,000
from the conversations with Xcel Energy and removing the second meter. In addition, staff reduced
the gas number by $18,000 after the same discussions with CenterPoint Energy. The draft budget is
still showing a net loss of $64,000.Nafstad believes that there should be some energy savings on
connecting the two rinks, but with the utilities it is an estimate. There was discussion on the revised
draft budget with utilities, rates and the budget shortfall. The items discussed was how to look at
covering the shortfall with increasing prime rate to $220 per hour, summer rate to $155 per hour and
game rate to $245 per hour. In addition, the board discussed the issues of since these budget numbers
are truly and estimate on which we only have a couple months of operation on that they are volatile,
especially with the utilities, and caution to raise rates too much too early. Without raising the rates or
reducing some expenses to balance the budget the remaining shortfall would, according to the contract,
be covered by the three entities. The discussion of the board found it difficult to go back to the entities
to not only subsidize capital but also operations. There was discussion on available hours and if the
budget shows all hours sold. Nafstad went through the hours and during prime season all the hours are
taken but there are a lot of hours available in the off-season and during school hours. In the end the
board needs the school board representatives go back and discuss the game rate, the rest of the board
should go back to their respective entities and discuss the subsidizing. Staff was directed to look at
what the surrounding arenas are planning on havingfor rates 2019-2020 season. There was also
discussion on keeping the concessions open more, as much as possible.

Water Treatment Options
Date:April 4, 2019
To:STMA Arena Board
From: Grant Fitch, Arena Manager
Staff would like to discuss water treatment options for the existing sheet of ice. Currently the
new sheet is being resurfaced with hot water and results are very favorable. The old sheet is
being resurfaced with R/O-cold water, results are not as favorable. With the building addition,
both sheets of ice will be served by one mechanical room and modifications to the existing water
treatment system are needed.
Options to Discuss(ranked by order of operational preference)
Option 1 – Use new hot water heater installas part of building addition (No Cost)
The existing hot water heater was not sized to serve two sheets, which may reduce the
life of the unit.
This is believed to be a good first step as we move into operating two sheets and will
allow for time to monitor ice quality.
This may be a short term solution.
Option 2 – Install new R/O and hot water heaters designed to serve both ice sheets ($52,000)
The cost to serve one sheet vs two sheets is less than $5,000.
This is believed to be the best system and has been recommended to us by an ice
consultant. R/O systems are generally recommended when TDS of water exceeds 80
ppm. Base on water samples, TDS at the rink is 400 ppm, which is why we have R/O
today. Per the ice consultant, benefits of R/O generally include reduced load on the
refrigeration plant, improved ice quality (harder, faster, ice clarity), and reduced energy
costs associated with heating flood water.
Option 3 – Purchase water heater compatible with R/O ($15,000)
Having hot water is priority over R/O and this option allows the addition of an R/O
system at a later time.
This option would only serve the old sheet of ice. From an operations standpoint, both
systems should be on the same system.
Option 4 – Move existing R/O system for $11,500 and purchase water heater (26,500)
This is not a preferred option as it too only serves one sheet.
