6.Arena Manager’s Report
Astro-Rink Low-E Ceiling: Dripping within the hot months of the year from the current ceiling
has been an on-going issue over the years. Manger Fitch presented photos to the board showing
the current dripping and build-up it is creating onto the rink approximately 5” high with over 50
different spots. Grant went through the routine of every morning chipping away the build-up,
takes at least 30 minutes each day and then using the Olympia to re-surface. Nafstad added that
when the ice is chipped, it tends to make a divot, which then needs to be filled before re-

surfacing. Fitch noted that when the new dehumidification was installed it did take away
approximately 90% of the drip issue allowing year-round ice use.
Mr. Fitch is looking into pricing and possible rebates from Xcel Energy to install the Low-E
Ceiling product (sample product was displayed for the board to handle) to act as a barrier,
mounting onto the ceiling about 4” and prevents the cold air from migrating to the ceiling. Mr.
Fitch believes that in energy savings alone, the barrier would pay for itself within a 3 to 5 years.
Chairman Cocking questions if this was only happening on the Gold Rink and Fitch answered
yes. Mr. Nafstad reported that a Low-E ceiling is identified on the capital improvement plan and
programmed as a 2024 project. Nafstad and Fitch are optimistic that they could get a significant
portion covered through energy rebates.
The question was asked if it would improve the acoustics, which Mr. Fitch replied that it would.
Grant reported that ideally, he would like to start the project in March, remove the ice, install and
put the ice back in in time for tournaments. Another option would be to wait another year or
possibly in the Fall before STMAYHA starts.
Mr. Fitch would get quotes, timeline, and bring back to the board at the next meeting for
approval. Mr. Nafstad reviewed that the funding would come from Dedicated Capital, which has
an approximate balance of $265,000. The other projects that need to be coordinated would be
matting for locker rooms and corridor and replacement of the old resurfacer. Nafstad stated
pricing for many of the CIP items have greatly increased since it was preared.
Adding Heat to the announcer’s Score-Box on the Blue Rink: Mr. Fitch reported that this was a
request from STMAYHA from some of the money donated. Grant felt that the $1330 was a
pretty fair price. Currently the Gold Rink has it, has a little light switch that keeps it comfortable.
He is looking for direction from the board on the purchase/install. Chairman Cocking asked for
objections from the Board. There were none.
Black Rubber Matting on the Blue Rink: Grant reported that the matting has been installed and
looks great, holding up, easy to scrub and clean.
Elevator Repair: Grant extended a thank you to Jason with the school for taking the reins on the
repair.
7.Old Business
8.New Business
Tort Liability: Adam stated that we review annually as provided by the League of Minnesota
Cities, who provides our liability coverage. Annually we discus with our local insurance rep and
this year they are recommending to again waive the monetary limits. Mr. Nafstad stated that
waiving the limits allows for additional coverage for insurance. There have also been some
pretty significant accidents over the years; Chairman Cocking agreed.

STMA Arena Board December 11, 2023 Minutes

MOTION made by Member Zagorski, seconded by Gleason to waive the monetary limits on
municipal tort liability established by Minn. Stat. 466.04, to the extent of the limits of the
liability coverage obtained from LMCIT. Ayes: Cocking, Gleason, Wettschreck, Lewis, Weber
and Zagorski. Nays: None. Absent: Dwinnell. The motion carried.
Scoreboard: Mr. Fitch has received a request from STMAYHA to add a second scoreboard to the
Blue Rink. Youth Hockey, School and Grant have discussed options for the scoreboard and the
School would like to include sponsor panels. Mr. Fitch reported $9,390 Sign and Install+ $2,430
for the Names. There would be an additional cost to have the electrical installed; approximately
$3,200. Keith Cornell, STMA Activities Director stated that the $875 for the sponsor panel
would be paid for by the school district. Mr. Fitch felt that the protective screen was not needed;
as there has never been an issue with the location of the current board.
Member Lewis asked for clarification. He doesn’t feel that it would be right to set the
expectation that donated funds from STMAYHA be used to add on advertising for the school
district. If the advertising panels were added, it would be a district expense; Mr. Lewis asked
Keith Cornell for clarification. Mr. Cornell stated that either way the district was going to install
the sponsor panel weather the Board or the school pays for it.
Mr. Lewis would like it noted that the school district is paying for the sponsor panel and not set
the project back. Mr. Cornell extended his thanks and appreciation to STMAYHA for the funds
to complete. He stated it is very rare at the High School level to not have two scoreboards.
MOTION made by Member Weber, seconded by Zagorski to approve the AIM Electronics, Inc
quote for $11,820 and $3,200 for electric installation of the Daktronics H-2104-13 (LED)
Hockey Scoreboard paid out of the Dedicated Capital/STMAYHA donation funds. Ayes:
Cocking, Wettschreck, Gleason, Lewis, Weber, Zagorski. Nays: None. Absent: Dwinnell. The
motion carried.
9.Youth Hockey Association
Meghan Esterberg requested to have the ice logos re-done at the time that the ice is out on the
Gold Rink. She stated that the current logo is incorrect. Grant will get quotes for the new logos.
Ms. Esterberg also stated that their Board had a working-meeting and members had asked about
the entrance at the Gold Rink, there is a ‘big check’ banner. She is looking to see if there is an
option to have a ‘big check’ banner created for the STMAYHA donation to acknowledge to the
community and their association for their donation. Nafstad said yes, he would get a new banner.

Reference: ASTRO-RINK low-emissivity reflective insulated ceiling in one ice rink, at the St
Michael Albertville Arena, Albertville, MN
Mr. Fitch,
First, let me thank you for your interest in our revolutionary reflective insulating and low emissivity
ceiling products. Energie Innovation is a company that specializes in the supply and installation of
reflective insulating materials to the growing market of energy conservation industries, from
residential and commercial to industrial and agricultural applications, since 1989.
Let me now introduce our ASTRO-RINK product, the best low emissivity ceiling for your arena or
curling club projects.
ASTRO-RINK reflective insulation is composed of 2 layers of bubble film with reinforced aluminum
metalized films on both sides (MPET/Bubble/Bubble/MPET). These bubbles form trapped air spaces
between the aluminum surfaces to give the structure excellent “R” values. The material is reinforced
to prevent damages caused by pucks and other flying objects; therefore, protective netting is not
required. Most importantly ASTRO-RINK reflects heat away from your ice surface.
You will benefit from:
➢25 % average reduction in refrigeration costs per year
➢Reduced radiant loads to the ice surface
➢Increased roof insulation
➢Reduction of ceiling condensation and dripping
➢Up to 40 % increase in lighting levels
➢Improved acoustics
In Addition, the ASTRO-RINK low emissivity ceiling is maintenance free and all our reflective
insulation products are considered user friendly.
Many of our clients have benefited from incentive programs offered by their local utility companies.
We at Energie Innovation can help you benefit from these incentives by providing detailed feasibility
study analysis for the installation of our ASTRO-RINK reflective ceiling.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time and discovering our revolutionary
product. Feel free to visit us on our web site at www.energie-innovation.com and discover the
potential for future energy savings and improved skating environment.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.
Best regards,
Robert Baljak

Galvanized steel studs (25-gage) will be used to build up the ceiling framework. They will be
attached to the existing steel purlins with the help of HEX head self-drilling zinc coated screws
spaced at 48” center to center apart. This built-up framework will be used to keep the reflective
insulation in place. Permanent support is then ensured using double-sided adhesive tape and HEX
head sharp point zinc coated screws, spaced approximately 18” to 24” apart, through the
reflective insulation and into the framework. Finally, all seams will be sealed with reinforced
aluminum tape. The rolls of reflective insulation will run the width of the building and the main I-
Beams will remain exposed.
