ATTACHMENT 15 Task Force Meetin� Minutes Meeting #3 — Roseville Skating CenterlOVAL Task Force — March 31,2005 member excused: Barclay Kruse, absent: Bill Cushman The meeting began with a tour of the entire facility. Brad Tullberg, skating center superintendent led us on a tour of skating center and OVAL. We began in the newest addition — the locker rooms, used throughout the winter and summer for teams, storage, etc. Roseville High School has sole use of locker room 5 at no charge — they have made improvements to the room and also allow for storage in the room during the summer. Bob W. asked about square footage for the entire facility � Brad will check- should be able to figure out �t'oin construction plans. We were shown the fitness room, used by figure skating, hockey and the general public, dryland training takes place here. The room is rented at a minimal charge depending on the group needing it and their planned use. The question was asked if the fitness area is a requirement for hosting international competitions in speedskating andlar bandy — to the best of our knowledge it is not, but it is a nice feature in our favor when competing against other facilities. A question was also asked about use by city police or firefighters — the room is not currently used by them, Brad reported that Kevin Elm was working on possibly setting up programs for use by the public. We next visited the equipment room for the arena where the compressors and chiller are located — the arena operates by a direct chilling system using freon, 4 compressors are present, all original, but have had motors replaced over the years. Maintenance of the arena system has been remarkable — but will have to get replaced eventually because the necessity ofremoving freon chilling systems by 2015. The arena chiller is scheduled to be replaced in 2006. We then moved outside to view the set up of the aggressive skatepark and in-line hockey rink. The outdoor facility is scheduled to open May 6, Lonnie pointed out the advertising signs for K2 which has had a contract with the facility providing money and skates in the past but now mostly skates. The question was asked about storage of the aggressive skatepark equipment during the winter months — storage is at the State Fairgrounds which does cost the city. Lonnie then showed us where the leak was located under the asphalt leading from the chiller building to the skating field. The leak was caused by shifting concrete with coldlwarm weather expansions and although this leak has been repaired Stephens engineering is looking at ways to insure more shifting will not cause the kind of leak created in the past and bet�er methods of monitoring for leaks. We then moved into the chiller building and viewed the set up for the OVAL, the cap is still off the vessel so we were able to see the tubes, the plugged tubes and view some of ihe tubes that had been removed already. With the leaking of the tubes there had been some cross contamination of the brine and ammonia but every indication shows that the compressors were not affected, replacement o� just one of the 3 compressors would run approx. $100,000. After viewing the chiller system we returned to the Fireside Room to continue discussions. Jeff Johnson first pointed out a correction to the summary from the last meeting — NSYF receives its funds from charitable gambling, not from money paid into the city by other organizations having charitable gambling proceeds. NSYF does provide grants to organizations who serve our youth and do not have their own charitable gambling contracts. ATTACHMENT 15 Task Force Meeting Minutes
