The Board also requested consideration of a new roof (over the lobby and entrance area), refrigeration plant upgrar;les to improve efficiency of the plant and if possible a wider corridor leading to the dressing rooms, Through discussion with the Board Members the roof and plant upgrades were deemed to be the responsibility of. the Municipality through the Building Maintenance Program and will be addressed at the appropriate time through the Municipal Capital Budget deliberations, The request for widening the corridor was considered by staff as non-essential and would significally inflate the project's estimated costs, Subsequentially the Board has agreed to staff's proposed building program as outlined in section 1.2 of this report. 2.0 FINANCING ~ II 2.1 .

Regarding the laner. our board members now have a better understanding of the thoughts and procedures and look forward to further communication and the tinal draft and report. Regarding our renovations should they be approved. [ am taking this opportUnity to re- cap our priority I ist to make sure everything was covered during our discussions. Obviously depending on budget approval. this is what we would like to tackle. , A) Bringing the snack bar to the main floor is crucial to increasing revenue and making the arena more user friendly, B) Lobby and entrance way need to be addressed to improve traffic flow and alleviate congestion. From incoming and outgoing hockey players with bags, sticks and various paraphernalia clunering up our thoroughfare while they wait for the dressing rooms to be vacated. C) A new roof over the lobby and entrance will bring assistance to the Municipality's budget plans to replace the entire roof as our contribution would cover some of this COSL D) Increase dressing room space and improve shower facilities. which are currently inadequate for the arena. 808 . * " I .

F) Improved storage facilities that can be tied into these renovations will be another improvement that will come about from these changes. Joe: this just about covers all our requirements. in closing I would just like to mention that we have an excellent arena board membership in place. For a group of volunteers, they are committed and dedicated to the arena community. In the past 18 months we have brought increased revenue to the arena with rink board advertising, which was never in place prior to the year 2000. We have purchased and installed a new scoreboard fully financed by a corporate donation and last but not least we are presently undergoing renovations to both washrooms with a $20,000.00 expenditure. We all look forward to favourable approval of. if not all of our wish list. a .Rr,pponion of these projects to improve Newcastle Arena for the Municipality and its users. Thanks!
