Arena Manager’s Report
Fitch stated there has been a number of power outages at the Arena. He has contacted Xcel several times and it appears to
be specific to the Arena. Each outage requires the system to be shut down and SCR has come out to restart the system.
The service is covered under the blanket; however, he would like to figure out what is causing the outage.
The VFD should be in stock and installed soon. With Jason at the School District and the Board’s approval, the quote
came in less than anticipated.
Fitch stated that the rubber matting on the west end of the Blue Rink is still an issue and recommends having the matting
glued down permanently. Nafstad explained per the operating agreement this would be a School District cost; however, if
the Board so desired, the Arena Board could pay for the fix. Gleason questioned why the matting wasn’t glued down in
the first place, when installed. Fitch stated it was funding at the time. There was discussion on the faulty matting being a
liability and not sanitary. The Board discussed the option to pay for the matting and ultimately requested that Grant obtain
additional quotes for the repair.
Old Business
Nafstad reviewed the Ice Allocation Policy and noted this is generally how the Arena currently operates; however, a
formal policy has not been adopted. Nafstad explained part of the policy includes a rental contract for ice, which has not
been part of past practice. Nafstad noted the policy works well for the Arena, but may present some scheduling challenges
for the high school and youth hockey. Nafstad expressed his concern that the policy could potentially limit coordination
between the two groups when scheduling changes and conflicts arise.
Nafstad summarized the Ice Rental Contract and noted it still needs a final legal review. Nafstad pointed out the contract
included an Arena Code of Conduct and addressed use of the parking lot.
The Board discussed the documents and felt the ice rental contract and the code of conduct were necessary and the ice
allocation policy could be considered again in the future if needed.
The Board requested the Ice Rental Contract and Code of Conduct be edited to not reference the allocation policy and
brought back to the next meeting.

Youth Hockey Association
Megan stated that Youth Hockey is currently trying to have 2 sessions of 4 ice times of Learn to Skate beginning in
August. Learn to Skate would be over and above ice-time for Youth Hockey. Nothing is currently set as of today for
final information.
Youth Hockey Executive Board is looking to donate $50,000 donation to the Arena Board. Donation date is to be
determined. The Arena Board gave great appreciation and thanks to Youth Hockey for the up-coming donation. The
Board asked for a ‘wish-list’ of ideas from Youth Hockey where they would like the funds spent and would like to do a
formal recognition/pictures of the donation at the time of receipt. Megan stated she would bring back something for a
future meeting.
Adjourn
Members Dwinnell/Lewis moved to adjourn at 6:48 pm. All voted aye. Absent: Cocking & Weber
