3. Arena Manager's Report—In Bryan's absence the chair discussed concerns over
the cost of replacement glass and or,plastic for the rink boards. Councillor
Partner offered to make some inquiries at the municipality and Orono Arena to
see what they are using, where they are buying and pricing structures. Newcastle
Arena is currently buying from Bowmanville Glass.
This past Saturday, February 112012, in Bryan's absence at the arena the sound
amplifier had broke. Considering the cost of replacing it, Gary offered to take a
look at the unit and attempt to get it repaired. It was removed from the arena for
Gary to take home with him,for evaluation.
Discussion also took place regarding ice flooding during games, (end of 2nd
period) -for the younger age groups. Bryan Wiltshire had advised our chair that
the City of Oshawa was reducing their ice floods, in this manner and had found
significant savings in water consumption and labour by saving 8-10 floods per
week. Councillor Woo offered to take up the discussion with Community Services
to see what their flooding procedure was and report back to our members.
September ice was also discussed, as we had significant ice time available, this
past September and perhaps, opened a week or two too early. This is a significant
cost to keep good ice throughout the early weeks of the month. It also requires an
i
° (2)
early return to full staff, in August at a significant cost. We need to get into
discussions with our user groups. Bryan will be advised to initiate ice scheduling
with our major contract ice users, i.e. NVMHA, NSC, CGMHA, etc.
