Approve Minutes - Minutes from 5/13/13 BCA Board meeting approved.

 

Rink Operations -Discussion was held on several items. The electrical cord for the puck shooting machine cost estimate came in at $3,640.00. Cost estimates & savings from redoing the lights over the ice surface were discussed. The Board looked at both T8 lights and LED. TB would cost around $13,000 and the annual savings would be around $2,034. LED would cost around $18,500 with annual savings around $2,600. Both would qualify for a rebate from Beltrami Electric. After discussing the Board agreed to go with LED lights. This will be presented to the BYHA at their next meeting. Hugh & Dale will be meeting with Jay Jones on 6/25 to talk about a donor board. The Board discussed the use of the BCA meeting room and that Dale must be contacted prior to use. Jerry reported that the Zamboni has only 6 items to work on. Jerry has STS group in scrubbing the boards to remove the puck marks. Jerry also request that we purchase rugs thru AmerPride for the front lobby to save on the floor. Cost would be

$50 a month.

 

Financial Report - Nothing new to report at this time. Hugh did suggest that we try to get the Neilson Foundation to the rink to show them what we have done with the money they gave us. Hugh will work on a time and get back to us.

 

BCA Summer Usage -The Board received a request from Bob Moe who is with Relay for Life about using the BCA in the summer of 2014 for their relay. Dale will meet with Bob to let him look over the BCA to see if it would work without too much take down of boards/glass.

 

BCA Board Legal Liability- Dale talked to Jim Haskell about our legal liability and Jim says we are covered as a Board.
