7. Arena Manager’s Report
Mr. Fitch reported the Arena is currently over their ice rental projections. He stated that STMA
Youth Hockey Association along with the Blue Line Club installed a College & Beyond display
to recognize the kids that have gone-on to play at another level. Mr. Fitch stated the display
looked nice and thanked both organizations.
Mr. Fitch stated there were some issues with the upper bathroom and pipes freezing. He is
working with Rick at the school at getting to the area to prevent it from happening in the future.
Member Steffens asked if there have been issues previously and Mr. Fitch replied there had been
issues, and that he had previously worked with Terry from the school to add heat where needed.
Ms. Steffens asked if there was an option to have a professional plumbing company to come and
look at it. Rick stated that it wouldn’t help as it’s because of the two exterior walls and extreme
cold exterior temperatures. At this time, radiant heat on the exterior walls seems like a solution.
8. Old Business
None.

Tort Liability Coverage Waiver:
Mr. Nafstad reported that the Tort Liability Waiver does increase premiums by approximately

liability coverage obtained from LMCIT. Ayes: Gleason, Wettschreck, Steffens, Cocking, Lewis,
Weber and Hayden. Nays: None. Absent: None. The motion carried.
Preliminary 2025 Budget and Rates:
Mr. Nafstad stated that the Arena Board should set the rates and budget sometime within the next
two months as STMA Youth Hockey Association typically will follow April/May.
Mr. Nafstad reviewed the current un-audited 2024 numbers. He did comment in the middle of
2024 there was a little concern regarding a high school coaching change which impacted summer
sales and programs. Nafstad noted that there was an increase in online sales which largely offset
the summer program loses. Mr. Nafstad stated the 2025 Prelim Budget does not include a rate
increase. He is planning to get some additional cleaning help which is figured into the salaries.
The utility bills are typically budgeted on a three-year average and include any proposed
increases by the utility companies. Chairperson Cocking noted the $5/hour increase typically
adds up to approximately $7,000 revenue and is usually applied to all rates to prevent a drastic
increase to the various groups. Mr. Cocking did note that there will be an increase in utilities

Association. Mr. Nafstad replied that the School District and Youth Hockey are working

STMA Arena CIP – GOLD (Old) Rink
Date: March 17, 2025
To: STMA Arena Board
From: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator
Attached is the 2025 Capital Improvement Plan for the Gold rink. This plan identifies 20-years
of potential capital purchases and estimates the years the purchases will be made. This document
is intended for planning purposes only and does not include capital outlay for the Blue rink.
The CIP is generally limited to capital replacement costs and does not include general repair and
maintenance costs typically included as part of operations. Additionally, the plan does not
include major replacements such as dasher boards, the refrigerated floor, or any part of the
building structure.
It is recommended the Board revisit this plan periodically to ensure the reserves and/or annual
contributions are sufficient for the needs of the facility.
Purchases included in the plan and recommended for 2025 include:
• Pressure washing and sealing the exterior walls
• Replacing the 2002 Olympia
• Matting throughout the Gold Rink
