Action Requested
Provide direction on how to fund the replacement machine.
Approve, byT motion, a purchase order and do�vn payTment to secure the purchase of a replacement Zamboni ice
resurfacing machine.
Background/Discussion
The FuYniture and Things Communityr Event CenteY has two Zamboni ice resurfacing machines. The 2008 model
is nearing the end of its useful life. The machine was scheduled to be Yeplaced in 2021 but we delayed the
purchase until it showed further signs of failure. RecentlyT, we have had to replace the hydraulic motor for the
vertical auger and the main hydraulic pump that feeds the hydraulic fluid to the steering, vertical, and horizonal
motors. It is now scheduled to be replaced in 2023.
Due to demand and supply chain issues, the lead time is more than one year at this time. Zamboni is now
Yequesting a down payment of $25,000 with the order of the machine. Making the purchase now will ensuYe we
`vill have the machine b�T mid-2023.
Financial Impact
The Multipurpose FacilityT Fund t�TpicallyT would be used for facilit�T capital purchases. Due to lost revenue during
the past three seasons due to facilityT construction and the covid pandemic, the fund balance is well below the cost
of the machine.

"The principal product you have to sell is the ice itself."
— Frank J. Zamboni
Maintaining an ice surface presents a multitude of challenges. Having efficient and reliable
resurfacing equipment should not be one of them. Driven by our founder's commitment to innovation, we
put our product to the test in the harsh environment it will call home. Every feature is deliberately
designed to make resurfacing easier and to ensure that the end result is an exceptional sheet of ice. Built
by hand. One at a time. The result is an ice resurfacing machine legendary for its quality, durability and
superior performance.
MODEL 552AC:
Clean ice. Clean air. Clear choice. Building upon the solid reputation of its predecessor, the Model 552AC
features worry-free AC motors and controls, introducing new efficiencies and virtually eliminating
associated maintenance. The battery package is easy to access and maintain. Proven and dependable
controls built for tough industrial applications. Microprocessor controlled smart chargers deliver long
battery life. The Model 552AC provides a low maintenance option for your high maintenance surface.
MODEL 552AC LITHIUM-ION (OPTIONAL):
Zero battery maintenance and lithium-ion power combine for the ultimate upgrade to the world's most
popular electric ice resurfacer. Lithium-ion batteries charge quickly between resurfacings, eliminating
overnight charging. Sealed zero maintenance batteries are truly emission-free. Charging is controlled by
battery management system to optimize charging and balancing. Strong conveyor performance at any
speed. Our unrivaled down pressure system ensures that all you leave behind is perfect.
INNOVATION:
Our commitment to constant innovation is an investment in the end product. We apply decades
of experience working with facility owners and operators into every decision we make. Automated
processes provide a consistent end result and reduce the chance for operator error. Opportunities to
retrieve and display data from the machine provide a new tool in rink management. The incremental
and continued introduction of new and better technologies to our ice resurfacing machines facilitates
savings of time and valuable resources.

QUALITY:
Zamboni sets the standard of quality to which the industry is held. The Zamboni Company holds itself to
an even higher standard with ongoing assessment and meticulous quality control, resulting in products
which consistently produce the finest sheet of ice even after many years of use. Our rugged four-wheel
drive chassis is hand-built using strong all-welded steel tubing. Premium materials and components are
used throughout. We continually collaborate with our customers to ensure the products that will ultimately
end up in their facility exceed the high expectations of quality associated with our brand.
VALUE:
Zamboni has a well-deserved reputation as the Industry Leader. One which we don't take for granted.
Our products have the lowest cost of operation and maintain the highest residual value. A network of
Zamboni Authorized Distributors and our own Customer Service teams provide local service and support
for our products. In the world of ice, time is money and unreliable equipment can be a show-stopper. Yet
another reason that worldwide, more facility operators choose Zamboni for their ice resurfacing needs.
Nothing else is even close.
