B. Furnishings These items which include office furniture and tables and chairs for the new community room have been submitted as a part of the 1999 budget request. If they are not pp roved, used furniture from the Activity Center and current offices wi I I be used. The amount of the request is $60,000. C. New Zamboni and Ice Edger The 1999 budget request also includes a new zamboni and an ice edger. The zamboni and edger are scheduled to be replaced in 2 years. The new construction necessitates this be moved up because of the enclosing of the outside zamboni dour. The PCA requires that fresh air be introduced in the building if you are using propane resurfacing or ice-shaving units, which are the machines currently used. If there is not have fresh air, then electric machines are required which are the items in the budget request. If these items were not approved, we would have to open the doors on the new space each time the ice is resurfaced and edged. This would cause cold air to eater into the entire rower level of the new space. It is also not certain that we could entirely meet the air quality standards. Monies for the replacement units are included in the equipment depreciation fund. The amount requested is $86,115 for the zamboni and $3,050 for the ice edger. D. Fro-shop, Entrance and Restaurant On March 10, 1 998, the Council authorized contracting with real estate consultant Mike Scott to research the feasibility of contracting with a private operator for the pro shop and a restaurant. As a result of this action, the pro-shop and entrance changes proposed were deleted from this project. It is anticipated that they will be requested following he results of Mr. Scott's search. We will be able to operate a small pro- shop in the space where the current OVAL office is until a more finished pro-shop is completed.
