In regards to the dehumidification and roof project, we had a meeting with the engineers and contractors that went very well and are waiting for the final punch list. The dehumidification system is working well and the air temperature is correct. The flat roof is completed but we found that we needed gutters for the Tennis roof area and that project has just been completed. We also needed repairs for the rink roof and that is complete as well. Now that the roof has been replaced over the main office area all administration offices are now located up front. The two offices that were down the hall will be converted into one large meeting room and will be rented out for additional revenue. REVENUE / EXPENSE: Ms. Drenski reported that 2011 was a good year with our revenue exceeding our projected amount and our expenses coming in below the budgeted amount. The Rink brought in more revenue then it ever has in the past as well as I&T Sports and Gymnastics. The Pool revenue was down do to the closing of the pool for the dehumidification project. Tennis was down due to Eric Hodge leaving and Rick Krobroth’s illness this past summer. Enrichment brought in what they did last year even though we did not run most of the classes due to low enrollment and went well without having a full time supervisor. 2012 BUDGET INFORMATION UPDATE: Mr. Kearney asked what challenges there might be for 2012 for revenue and expense. Ms. Drenski stated that we have combined I&T Sports and Enrichment and is now called Adult and Youth Programming and will have only one supervisor running it so the combined account will look different in 2012. We are increasing the cost of summer camp and this will help increase the overall revenue. We have potential with tennis to increase revenue by talking with the Pro’s that we have and possibly hiring another. Erin is working on bringing in some new rentals for the pool in hopes of increasing revenue. Tennis and pool will be our main focus this year. The major expense for 2012 will be the fire alarm system. We talked with the Mayor about getting new chillers for the rink to save energy and repair cost and are waiting to hear if that is possible. We have HVAC units that are twenty years old and are in need of replacement also. We have submitted the budget to finance and are waiting for approval. PROGRAM UPDATE: Ms. Drenski noted the Santa Skate that is held annually went very well with over 200 in attendance. The Cleveland Edges put on a skating exhibition following the skate and this year they asked for food or dollar donations for the Ox Cart Food Pantry for admission. They collected four large trash cans full of food and $200.00 in donations. We also have a Girl Scout skate every year that collects food for the pantry as well. Our New Year’s Eve skate brought in 238 patrons which is over 100 more than last year. Another big event that is coming up is th National Skating Day which will be held February 5 from 1:00-3:00. We were recognized by The United States Figure Skating Association as being one of twelve clubs in the country who have held this event for ten years in a row.
