Recommendations:

1. That we install heaters in the bleacher areas in beth the
new and the old arenas immediately.

26 That the eost of the heaters and installation not exceed
$12,000.

Background & Comments:

Once again money in the amount of $12,000 has been put in the
provisional budget for the purchase of heaters in the seating
area of the arenas. Minor Hockey has offered to contribute
25,000 to the purchase and installation of the heaters. We have
had an estimate of $8,400 to purchase heaters and an additional
$2,000 for hook-up and installation. The heaters would be
located over the two inside sets of bleachers in both arenas. As
Council is aware, this particular budget item has been included
for the past several years. Most lower mainland arenas have
installed heaters in their seating areas; which does make it more
comfortable for viewing the games. Committee feels that with the
finanacial contribution from Minor Hockey and the City's
contribution, this project is most worthwhile. With the instal-
Lation of the heaters it will certainly enhance the use of the

Facility.
