Call to Order — Scott Writer called the meeting to order.
Committee member comments and announcements: Karen will get with Jon
about the Aspen Skating Club spring and summer schedule.
Public Comments: No comments.
Staff Comments: The Winter Wonderland is moving along. Scott wondered if
there was potential for a third pond outback. He also wanted to know the cost
associated with the setup and operation of the outdoor ponds. He also wondered if
boards could be something to put around one of the ponds and have it be
scheduled. Tim stated at this time it is best to have the ponds be free - flowing and
not scheduled. Jon stated that Koch Park in town would make be an ideal location
for another pond.
Approval of Past Minutes: The minutes from 11 -02 -10 were approved.
II. Discussion Items:
1. McKinstry energy upgrades and direction (McKinstry Representative): Josh
from the McKinstry project stated progress is being made. The energy saving
project is continuing into 2011. The pool pump issues have been addressed.
Another part of the project is to capture the heat from the compressors at the
Lewis Ice Arena.
2. ARC Expansion Discussion (payback scenarios, funding associated with
moving forward): Jeff presented different scenarios of payback options.
There were six different scenarios ranging from zero contribution and 20 year
repayment to $2,500,000 contribution and a ten year repayment.
Discussion centered on fund raising for the fitness expansion. Scott would like
to have Tim Hagman provide more sellable pictures of the fitness expansion
for the fund raising possibility. Scott asked what the next steps are for a group
to start fund raising. Gordon stated there are many different issues when
mixing fund raising and government funds for a project. Tim will get back to
the committee with that information and possible process.
3. Monthly Financial Report: No comments.
III. Updates and Progress Reports:
