8.2 ICESR 04-17-2018Gay of Elk River - Request for Action To Item Number Arena Commission 8.2 Agenda Section Meeting Date [April Prepared by Action Items 17, 2018 Rich Czech, Arena Manager Item Description Reviewed by 2018-2019 Ice Rates Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Adopt, by motion, ice rates for the 2018-2019 season. Background/Discussion The Regular Skating Season Rates are charged from September through February. Off Season Rates are charged from March through August. Rates are higher during the regular season due to higher demand and ice availability. Over the years, the Elk River's ice rates have been moderately priced as compared to neighboring arenas. Last Spring the Regular Season prune time hourly rate was set at $195.00 and the non -prime time ice at $145.00. Increases have been typically every two years and have been less than 3%, Last April we raised the prime time rate by $5.00, to 195. and the Non -Prime and Off Season Rates rates were left at $145. Smaller ongoing consistent increases have a smaller impact on our customers and keep us competitive in the market than larger increases over a longer period of time. A number of factors are considered when we are establishing ice rates. Competitor rates and their existing agreements, operating expenditures, and scheduled capital replacements or improvements. It's been several years since the non — prime and summer rates haven't been raised, and a $5. increase wouldn't be out of line with other arenas in the area. The Elk River Arena currently does not have a debt payment (i.e. mortgage), however, we do have many expensive capital improvements that need to be made in the very near future. Any remaining balances from ice revenues not tied to operations are maintained for capital repair and replacement. As noted in the finance report, the Arena purchased a new Zamboni this year which was paid out of these funds.
