“ REPO.wL TO RECREATION COMMITTEE Awp
K. JANNA TAYLOR, RECREATION DIRECTOR

CONMITTEE TERMS OF REFERENCE: :

The executive body of PCAAA authorized the striking
of a committee to determine whether Port Coquitlam
city”s ice rental rates charged to PCMHA, Ringette
and Metropolitan Junior Hockey are on an overall
basis higher than Surrounding municipalities and
ta make recommendations to the Recreation Committee
and the Recreation Director, if warranted.

PROBLEMS: .

PCMHA over the past few years has faced tremendous
cost pressures caused by various ‘factors including:
1) declining registrations,

2) escalating equipment Costs, and

3) increasing ice rentals,

Cost Pressures also affect Ringette and Junior Hockey

- adversely.
ANALYSIS:
Attached you will find Schedule I, which is a
Projection of 1981/82 operations for PCMHA. Tf
must be emphasized that this Projection is conservative,
in that equipment cests are kept to an absolute
minimum, Further it is based on a registration of
450 players. Increased equipment costs and/or
decreased registrations Could have a Significant
detrimental effect on per capita registration costs.
Presently, PCMHA has only 341 registrants, this is
expected to increase but Probably wont hake 450 as
Projected, You will nete that the Projection results
in an average $90 registration before considering
fund raising activities, 1980/8 registration was
$80 maximum. However, the Projected registration will
be insufficient unless PCMHA can raise $6,000 from

various activities.

1) to hold registration cost increases to nii, so

fe is difficult and in fact dangerous for PCMHA

te rely so Significantly on fund raising activities

to balance its budget. As will be seen later, other
associations are not Yequared to fund vaise or fund

raise as much due to lower ice Yates. Fund raising

in other minor hockey associations is for extras not

for necessities as in PCMHA~s case.
