CORRESPONDENCE: email from the town
Hi Linda
Pete had all this information, he is in contact with purchasing on a
regular basis
And Chief Weir had discussed the stove issue also with Pete Kaye
had sent me a email which / forwarded onto Pete that it was included
in the 2010 budget
Regards
Gord
Mayor Abernethy asked me to provide the following clarification of
outstanding issues to all members of the Orono Arena Board. Please
feel free to pass this along to anyone I may have missed.
The roof contract at the Orono Arena is complete and there are no
outstanding issues either from the Municipality's perspective or the
contractor's.
There are some areas in the arena where the block wall is
deteriorating as a result of water penetration and freeze/thaw activity.
The Municipality has a request for quote out now to have these
problems corrected and the bids will close on February 11 , 2010.
The stove which is currently being used is of a commercial nature
and would therefore need a commercial exhaust system in
compliance with the Fire code. The Fire Chief recommends that this
stove be replaced with a normal residential style stove and therefore
only a small suppression system in the hood would be required at an
estimated cost of $1500.00.
Fire code improvements for this have been included in the 2010
capital budget which is pending Council approval.
I trust this clarifies some of the outstanding issues at the Orono
Arena.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you require additional
information.
Thank you,
Linda Coutu, A.M.C.T.
Executive Assistant to the Mayor
BUSINESS ARISING:
A letter is to be send to Tom Moffat thanking for his years of service
to the Arena Board.
Gord Robinson announced that the town will upgrade the fire
prevention devices to comply with the fire regulations
Jackie Canfield attended the meeting and presented a financial report
that most felt was much superior to any we have seen so far. She
answered questions form the board. Since there were no budget
details on the report the board once again asked for a budget to be
presented and represented on the financial statement.
Chairman Ray thanked her for the much improved report. The
secretary gave her his e-mail so these reports can be sent out to the
board before the meeting.
Gord and Laverne were asked to inform the O.A.A.A. is request to
prepare a 5 year budget as a means of tracking and evaluating the
financial status of the Arena.
Gord Lowery was asked to continue his efforts to educate the board
on the need for a renovation of the compressor building at the north
end of the arena.
NEW BUSINESS:
Bruce Bradley was introduced by Elaine as the new Fair Board
representative on the Board. Ray welcomed him.
NEXT MEETING: Wed. Aug 25, 2010 @ 7:00 pm
Motion to Adjourn by Elaine Dillon at 7:36.
