Ice Arena A was constructed in 1970 by volunteers and has been under the city's ownership since 1975. Ice Arena B was constructed as a permanent facility in 1989 after operating as an air structure for 16 years. As aging facilities that still are in demand, primarily during prime skating season, ongoing preventative maintenance and equipment replacement are vital to providing quality, safe and efficient facilities. 2018-24: Interfund loan payback from the Community Investment Fund (CIF) to the Special Assessment Construction Fund as adopted in the 2015 Budget and formal public hearings for use of the CIF. Final transfer of $50,000 is scheduled for 2024. This interfund loan financed improvements at Ice Arena A including upgrading the refrigeration system and replacing the dasher boards. This project is included in the city's 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of December 8, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. ___________________________________________________________ Ice Arena A was constructed in 1970 by volunteers and has been under the city’s ownership since 1975.
