3. Arena Manager's Report:
A number of the safety issues that Bryan and Sue had detected in their monthly inspection had
been followed-up on with the municipality and attended to. Water and ice run- offs from the roof
had been corrected in two areas and the one in the north-west corner is on the agenda. Bryan also
advised of the completed repairs to our garage doors at the back of the building. Gary and Bryan
continue to schedule snack bar opening hours to attempt to eliminate staffing costs for practice
times, in which very few sales take place.
(2)
October snack bar sales of $2,041.05 were reported by the chair for 24 days/ evenings of
operation — 7 practice scheduled evenings, we did not open.
Discussion took place on the water -filling station — the installation service that was referred to us
could not find a water line or drain outlet in the area we had chosen to locate the unit. Follow-up
on another location in the building is in process.
Village Print Shop is preparing portable "A" type signage for the Edward Street boulevard to
advertise our public skate times - should be completed by month-end.
4. Financial Report: Income statements for Y.T.D. October 30th, 2016 indicated
revenue of $212,616.89 — a 4% increase over same period of 2015.
5. New Business:
The chair requested nominations should again take place for the election of a Vice -Chair. All
nominated parties declined to run or, accept the position. Carol Little did agree to co-sign the
cheque pay -outs on the business account. Changes from former vice -chair, Gord Blaker's
signature to Carol's at the C.LB.C. will be arranged.
We are again looking for a sponsor /advertiser for the arena time clock. Due to changes in the
corporate offices of Tim Horton's, they will now only be sponsoring a rink -board sign in the
arena.
December's meeting will be our Christmas Dinner Celebration — arrangements for the evening
will be made with our local Massey House Restaurant for 7:00 p.m. on the 13th of December.
