Arena Manager’s Report
3.– In Bryan’s absence, the chair advised: Belcon
Roofing was returning in early June to install vapor barrier throughout the inside
roof area, in order to eliminate the condensation that was dripping on the ice
surface last winter. This cost will be covered by their warranty program with no
cost to the arena or, municipality. With this project completed, it was suggested
that we acquire quotes for updated energy efficient lighting for the arena. The
chair advise: The lighting project would be a capital expense and require council
approval.
Motion # 11-119
was proposed: Quotations for energy efficient lighting upgrades
to the rink/floor area; including players benches, penalty box should be called
for. The chair would to advise Bryan to solicit two additional quotes, along with
the original quote we had received from Sylvania, this past season. All quotations
and information will be submitted to the Operations Department, by the chair for
direction.

June meeting.
6. New Business & Round Table Discussion –

with Elaine (NFCD) and report back to the committee in June. The glass insert
