3. Manager's Report: Staff- Josh informed his staff that most would be laid off for the summer.
He will have a pizza party for the staff to acknowledge the job they did this season. Josh would
like two (2) staff members to remain as he wishes to concentrate on his certification. Risk
Management — Completed March's fire equipment report as well as the AED reports. The fire
safety plan was completed and stored in the box by the front door. The TSSA orders were
finished and emailed back to TSSA reporting that the requested orders were completed. Josh
will visit the Courtice arena to review their procedures. Rentals — The website was updated
and posted on Facebook. March's invoices were mailed out. Josh spoke with the vending
company to confirm what percentage the arena will receive and when the cheque will be issued.
Repairs/Maintenance — A list of outstanding repairs has been completed and who is
responsible for their completion (MOC, Gerr, NMA or BBA). The following items have been
repaired sink in dressing room #5, emergency lights in compressor room and southwest door.
Also, a cork board was installed in the compressor room with our procedures, manuals, and
regulations so TSSA can identify. Snow removal and salting was not required for March,
however on April 3rd and 4d' salting was required due to the icy conditions. A list of jobs that
will require attention during the summer months has been completed.
2.
Inspections — TSSA completed their inspection on March 4th and the report was sent to Sue
White and Dave Bauma. EPI will provide a deficiency list and a quote the MOC from the
annual fire inspection. ORFA Update — Dave will send an email to add Josh to the group so
he can begin his certification. Two updates have been added: ORFA Staff & Management and
ORFA Arena Ice Operations. Other — George Moore installed GFI plugs in the upstairs
kitchen. Josh has some concerns regarding the inspection of the ladders as he feels he is not
qualified. Josh is in the process of finding a machine to clean the floors and will go to Tims
Rental if needed. Josh has spoken with Chris from Clarington to assist with the painting of
lines on the floor. Josh needs to prepare a list of the number of keys issued and who has them.
4. Financial Report - Todd gave a quarterly report. We received a cheque from Clarington for
an investment the Board made several years ago.

them.

anything related to the project other than it be completed this summer. Councillor Zwart will
